Paul Evans Sometimes you wonder why a production team doesn't cut a movie when they're making it, having the obvious realisation that what they're making is dreadful, surely it's more financially damaging to complete and release a diabolical mess like this, then it would have been to say stop. The premise seems good, two of the writers from Scary movie take the spoof them to a bigger scale, but do it so badly. It's unfunny, it could be deemed offensive, there is virtually nothing positive I can say about it, the acting is unforgivable in this day and age, it smacks of 1980's b movie all the way through, I realise they were up against it with the script, but come on. Do something more useful, like clean the bathroom, 1/10.

MajBlade2 I mean really? What do they go to investors with? "Hey were going to make a parody film like Date Movie, with basically same cast and do the same thing we did in that movie. Invest 10 million" I wonder if they just figure they make their money off of the $1 theaters and selling them in Pakistan as American pop culture films. No wonder the world hates usI can usually sit though these movies and find at least a bit or two that is funny. And I really didn't expect much. And boy did I get not much. I just feel sorry for jayma mays and kal penn they can do much better

rainbowgrenade13 Now, before I start, I really, REALLY like parodies. When done right, they're a stellar way to get a laugh out of an audience or to get across a message.This was definitely NOT done right. The timing was awkward, the 'jokes' were juvenile and repetitive, and they only brought in their parody characters to draw in the widest audience possible using popular films at the time.There were a few jokes I did like (mostly the puns), but all in all, it's nor worth seeing. It's not good enough to stand on its own, and it's nor bad enough to get a laugh out of. If I could go back in time and warn my younger self about how bad this 'film' was, I'd absolutely do it. Since I can't, I'll warn y'all instead. Don't waste your time with this- it's not worth the discs it's stored on, and the only 'Epic' thing about it is how epically it failed at what it set out to be.

dvallet-20927 Clearly the people of this movie don't know the difference between parody and reference, and thus a convoluted abomination that has no right to call itself "spoof" was born. I personally like to see something to parodied if it's done with effort, take Spaceballs for example. That movie works because it takes a look at a Star Wars like universe from a comedy standpoint, you have a big powerful leader but underneath he's a complete fool, and it's funny because you may find yourself wondering, " What if Vader was really like that?" In this abomination against mankind they look into various pop culture references that are popular and do nothing clever and comedic, they just put it in the movie and say " Hey, that exists!" Rumour has it Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have never seen the films being mocked, they just saw trailers and said "Okay, we'll do that one," and that wouldn't be surprising to say the least.While I sat watching this garbage, I instantly knew I wasn't gonna laugh. The "movie references" come off as painfully forced, like when someone plugs your nose to make you eat something you don't want. None of the references connect in any way, they're just there. The movie begins with narration from the Babe narrator which made me wish I was watching Babe. We then meet four orphans/siblings who are adults who require parenting because they never had a real family. First there's Lucy (Jayma Mayes), Edward (Kal Penn), Susan (Faune Chambers) and Peter(Adam Campbell). Yes these adults still need parental guidance, if that's the case, how did they even get where they are, they should be dead. Anyway they all win golden tickets to a factory filled with poop jokes and cheap gross-out humor, eventually they discover a wardrobe which takes them to enchanted world with the worst, rushed and unnecessary parodies. Lucy meets Mr. Tummies who takes him to his "Crib" where he gives a stupid tour of the place MTV style and then asks her to leave thus making the Cribs joke entire pointless.The only reference that made me give a tiny chuckle was the White Castle joke with Kal Penn, but everything else comes from nowhere and its atrocious to watch. The Pirates joke was the worst excuse to make the movie longer I've ever seen. Edward breaks out of jail with Jack Swallows after making a homophobic comment, where Jack takes Edward to his ship and gives us a music video but in a stupid turn of events, it was an elaborate scheme by the White Idiot (can't curse) to get information out of him. When the other three orphans meet the king, he agrees to help get Edward back in exchange for having a four way, I was ready to lose my mind at that moment. Thankfully the king dies after rescuing Edward, and before the war takes place the following day they throw a party, why? It's just pointless filler with gross-out humor that made me wanna vomit and I did. When the war happens Lucy, Edward and Susan die, and Peter pauses the bad guys with a Click remote he found, uses it to heal his siblings and they kill all the bad guys and they become rulers of the world, they urinate and they get rolled to death, movies done! This is one of the worst comedies I've ever seen, everyone in this movie is brainless, the acting is the worst, there is no existent plot just pop culture references, and it has a running gag in which Lucy repeats everything Susan says and it made me cringe every time. After I discovered this movie in my storage of old movies, I smashed it to pieces with a hammer. Nothing about the movie is good or redeeming about this abomination. This pile of rubbish gets a big fat F!
