Well names of films are normally a good indication to what the film is about, no exception here. In fact the name sells the film short. I went to the cinema and luckily i did not have to pay for what is the worst film i have seen all year. I never expected anything great from the latest in big screen spoofs, but i did hope a few laughs at least, sadly i think i may have slightly chuckled once in the hour of bad acting and poorly written songs.
The lame excuse for a plot basically sees a group of friends trying to escape a city that is going to be destroyed, a bit like cloverfield. Then the spoofs of 10,000 BC, Batman, Iron Man, Hulk and many more good films are thrown in to a mixture of bad directing and annoying jokes that become tiresome very quickly. You will struggle to find anything positive about this film, other than the few scenes where Carmen Electra and several other good looking women are seen in revealing under wear.
While the jokes are predictable and childish, the attempt to throw in some slapstick comedy and toilet humor will see only the younger viewers laugh at this poor attempt at a comedy. Some characters become annoying within the few 20 minutes and i became glad to see many cast members killed off in pathetic ways. While some people may say this is a rather harsh review to my usual style, it really does deserve all the negative things i am saying.
I would say watch it and judge for yourself, but it is not worth the money. If you do have unlimited cards and get to see movies for free, then still don't watch. I have to say it is probably one of the worst films i have ever seen. There are only so many ways to tell you how much i did not enjoy this film, but if you like very childish humor, with terrible jokes and slapstick comedy that you will have seen many times before and probably not even found funny then.
This tedious genre of film will without doubt still be around in a few years, the only reason i will be watching this film again is to see the bikini wrestling scene or to say to the people i am watching it with; "I told you so"
To sum it all up, only watch if you have seen this genre before and found every second hilarious, because this doesn't come close to any Scary Movie film and being a 12A the comedy is tame at best.
Overall 2/10

One to avoid, then! Why can't they make spoofs like they did in the 80's and early 90's?
The annoying thing is that it is all things we have seen or you know what will happen. If i was to say that they give someone a gun, and tell them to curve the bullet around Carmen Electra, what do you think happens?
And it is like that all the way through pretty much. Just a poor effort that was rushed

Anyone who has paid to see this movie should be shot. STOP encouraging these bufffons to keep making awful movies ARGH!!!
agreed - hence why my unlimited movie card comes in handy for a cheap night, watching a bad film that you get to slate the next day! lol
I am sure i heard some people laugh several times, and they should be shot!

There was a time when the spoof genre was actually funny (Airplane and co), now its a sad shadow of itself.
If I want to lower my IQ, I'd rather just hit my head against the wall - its more of a fun process than watching films like the aptly-named Disaster Moive.

As I've said before in a seperate thread, spoofs tend to work better when they don't directly spoof other movies. Airplane, UHF, Kentucy Fried Movie and the Naked Gun series are examples of this.
Hot Shots did provide some spoofs, but mostly indirectly, so that worked, but most films in this genre since then have taken the cheap and easy option of directly mimicing scenes from a movie and changing them slightly, which is a cheap gag, but done many times it just gets tiring.

This review shows exactly how I feel about Family Guy.
