Pit of Death?
I'll have to admit, watching this movie the first time, there were some quick laughs, and it caught my attention. Sometimes, I feel the jokes were drawn out way too long, and that's a shame. If I were a 14 or 15 year old, I'd probably give this all 5 stars. This definitely isn't a movie in which you can watch over and over again. When you're bored, or strung out from the job, or the weekly grind is just too much and you want to let loose for a brief moment, go ahead. Otherwise, this movie is dime a dozen, in the ranks of The Comebacks, Epic Movie, etc etc etc.
The worst movie ever, if you can even call it a "movie"
Not only does this movie suck completely, it doesn't abide by the rules of how to make a good spoof at all. There was ONE scene where I laughed, and that was the "Ugly Betty" scene. Epic Movie was very poorly made, yet it had a few laugh-out-loud moments. Did I enjoy Date Movie at all? No. Neither did I enjoy this.
These are the rules of making a good spoof:
1. Be timely. A joke about Ellen in Mr. Wrong??????????
2. If trying to be offensive, be funny too. An accident-prone protagonist in Superhero Movie was funny, assaulting a Spartan kid with many heavyweight objects is not.
3. Widen your humor sources when cracking the odd joke. Go everywhere, don't stay on the same topic just with different words.
4. Be subtle when making a spoof. Not everything has to be uncalled for.
5. Don't go outside the genre you're spoofing. American Idol? Shrek? Casino Royale? Really??????
And lastly...
6. DON'T EXPLAIN...
You could buy it... but I'm sure you can find a cheaper COASTER out there somewhere.
Unbearable.
All that needs to be said. Complete trash. I'm not sure at what point, pop-culture references became funny just by themselves. I guy dressed up like Sanjaya from American Idol pops out of nowhere and they kick him into a pit. Then the 3 person American Idol panel. Britney Spears and K-fed.
There's no setup. There's no nothing. If this is what has come of hollywood spoof comedies... I'm done... and now that we've seen a long string of these comedic failures pour out into the theatres and people actually pay for them... legitimizing them... we'll probably see more. It's a sad day in Hollywood.
Thousands of scripts are written every year that should be funded and produced before trash like this. When a supposed comedy does nothing but make this viewer angry... it's awful.
Everyone should be offended that cheap, brainless, here's a pop-culture reference and here's another type movies are being produced like MEET THE SPARTANS. We...
