First off, all I have to say to sum up this movie is this: "Epic Movie" is one of the worst films of all time, and certainly the worst comedy of all time. I could leave it at that and hope you take my advice and save yourself the $8.00, but I know many of you will see it anyway. "Oh, but the trailer looked so funny," you'll say. I almost thought about asking for a refund, and not only that, but also my hour and a half back, and my lost brain cells. I will explain the reasons this film is a literal piece of garbage, and should be buried thousands of feet beneath the earth where it will rot away, never to be seen again.
The trailer promises hilarious spoofs of films ranging from "Pirates of the Caribbean", to "X-Men", to "Narnia". I tell you this; the only funny scenes in this film are in the trailer. So watch the trailer a couple of times and you've seen the movie. Every other scene is boring, retarded, unfunny, and horribly made. How the studio actually ended up OK-ing "Epic Movie" is beyond me. The acting is dreadful, granted it is a spoof, but even spoofs need semi-good actors. The continuity is non-existent; the stunt people will play the characters in a fight scene on full on display for the camera. I think the directors thought it would be funny to show bad continuity, and it isn't in the least. I'll wager that the writers all got drunk and said, "Ok, everyone say something funny." "Let's have Captain Jack dance!" "Great! Let's go film the movie dudes!" Anyone could make a movie like this, absolutely anyone. What's funny in their stupid mind isn't funny to the smart, movie going public. I should've expected this since they are the same guys who made the horribly unsuccessful "Date Movie". In fact, it is apparently so bad it made IMDb's 100 worst films of all time list. "Epic Movie" will undoubtedly make it as well. It is the worst film of the year, and next year, and probably the year after.
So save yourself and your brain cells and don't see this sad excuse for a film. It is rated PG-13 for crude humor, and language.
