Over the course of the last several years the spoof genre of film has exploded, cascading in a seemingly never-ending string of Friedberg and Seltzer movies, that has become one giant blur of comedic disaster.
The most recent, in fact, is entitled “Disaster Movie.” Coincidence? I think not.
Headlining the film is Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Minnillo and Carmen Electra. If that isn’t indicative of the movie’s potential for substance, I don’t know what is.
Aside from the immense talent present in the film(sarcasm at its finest), there is no real plot to be discovered aside from a group of unsuspecting 20-somethings run headlong into a night of recurring catastrophe.
The point of the film, I’m assuming at least by its title, was to spoof action films where disaster is prevalent. This apparently was an inconceivable notion for the directors in the making of the movie considering none of the films spoofed in “Disaster Movie” are, in fact, disastrous.
The entire movie was spent making fun of the hottest films of the year: “Juno,” “Ironman,” “Sex and the City,” “Indiana Jones,” “High School Musical” and so on.
The skits were ill-timed and carelessly strewn together over the course of the film.
There were sparse laughable moments in the film, but not enough to even label it a comedy. It was ill-directed, ill-written and poorly acted out.
I was disappointed but went into the film fully knowing what I was up against. “Date Movie,” “Epic Movie” and “Meet the Spartans” never should’ve been made and only one of the “Scary Movies” was actually humorous; the second one with the caretaker with the tiny, creepy hand – man that was funny.
It would be a complete waste of time and money to go see or even watch this movie online. I do not recommend it as even a rentable film.
I want to forget I watched it, I only wrote this article to spare you visual pain. You would be better off watching the new little mermaid film, and for future reference, if a film has the word movie in the title and its labeled comedy, steer clear.
