Are there any movies that aren't any good but, compared to movies like it or other movies in the directors/actors/filmmakers/work, what have you aren't so bad by comparison?
Date Movie is an awful movie but, compared to some of Seltzerberg's other movies, it's not quite as bad. It at least tried to parody romantic comedies. It did have a lot of random parodies of things that were popular at the time but it also did parody a lot of romantic comedies as well, it just did it terribly. Plus Date Movie at least parodied movies that were more than 2-3 years old. Starting with Epic Movie, Seltzerberg just stuck to parodying stuff that came out within a couple years after the "movie" in question came out and they just parodied whatever the hell they wanted to.
I will say Superfast, the only movie they've made that I've seen since Disaster Movie, is the same thing. It's not good at all but it at least tried to stick to being a parody of The Fast and the Furious movies, it just wasn't a very good one.
Not only that but Date Movie is their least ugly movie seeing as it mostly parodies movies that are somewhat grounded in reality. Sure there are cheap looking scenes (the Cat Pooping scene comes to mind) but, because they mostly don't parody fantasy movies like Epic Movie or Meet the Spartans did, the production values of Date Movie for the most part look like something out of a real movie rather than a bad Youtube skit like Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Disaster Movie do.
