Also take note of the fact that the number of Reviews Counted dwindles with each release.

All of these “movies” should get negative scores.

I don’t think they need the arrow to emphasize their point; the circle would have been enough.

Maybe they are attempting to make the suckiest movie ever. Congratulations are in order, I think!

I can’t wait for “PARODY MOVIE”, a spoof on Friedberg/Selzer movies.

Disaster Movie is one of the most ground-breaking parodies of all time. It’s right up there with The Rocky Picture Show, Airplane! and Frankenfish. It puts inferior spoofs like Mars Attacks and Slither to shame. It’s misfortunate that all the haters and critics can’t get past the pop culture references to see that Disaster Movie has so many layers. Why do you think it only spoofed movies that were so mainstream? It’s because it was actually critisizing it’s target demographic for blindly worshipping these films that are so often shallow when there are projects of much higher quality and depth utterly failing to even recoup the budget. God, everyone is just missing the point of this film!

Almost every aspect of this fine movie was making a statement. For example, the “Enchanted,” costume tells us via hugely overpuffed shoulders that the inflation of our society’s egos were simply ridiculous and that our constant attempts to appear more attractive often end up simply being cumbersome and sometimes just look unnatural and absurd anyway – take botched plastic surgeries. Or the fight between “Carrie,” and “Juno.” Geez, a fight between a upper-class high-fashion New Yorker and a pregnant teenager. Sound like a class war much?

The acting, script, cinematography - all beautiful. If there wasn’t such prejudice against comedies, I’d expect this to win multiple Oscars. If it doesn’t at least get nominated, I’ll be sure to be outside protesting.

Oh, and personally, I have to say I liked the spoof of Cloverfield the best. Partially because it was so brilliant and partially because Cloverfield was just so awful. I hate your movie, JJ Abrams!

On the other hand, I love Disaster Movie [obviously] and am planning to see it at least three more times. And get the DVD, of course. I hadn’t seen Date Movie, Epic Movie, or Meet The Spartans before because everyone said they were so bad, but now I’ll have to get those DVDs too and check them out. Based on this one and it’s reception, I suspect they are also highly underrated.

Although I haven’t see the Disaster movie I have to agree with (JOHN) that sometimes people blindly worship films that are often shallow [yet often overhyped] when there are projects of much higher quality and depth.

I hope something bad happens to the guys who direct these movies…they hurt my eyes.

finally some good news. I hope this will be the end of those two toolbelts who keep making these movies, and the producers who gives up the dough. Ive seen Date movie on tv and thought it was god awful, never did see the two.

Terrible movies. The producers, directors and stars should all go to jail for cinema rape.

If you have made anything better than these you should enter them into the online Oscars at http://www.hotbox-studios.webs.com

Epic movies need not apply!

Well, I guess there are people out there likes this kind of movies. If not I don’t think they’ll keep making these crappy movies. My cousin loved Epic Movie. So yeahhh……

I THINK (JOHN) WORKED ON THAT SHITTY FILM. COMEON HOW MUCH OF THIS SHIT ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE???

Ivan Says:

September 3rd, 2008 at 7:07 pm

I do think that a movie about movies cannot really have a story. This is the reason why they get rated so low; due to lack of a story. Would you have better ideas on how to work with the task to have a story in a movie that parodies a set of movies? I know I wouldn’t.

This is just their shortcut way for some quick cash. Cut together some parodies of recent films, chew it up and spit it out. Done!

Of course I’d much rather see them stick to the more noble way of making a movie. But as long as they are getting the funds and see profits… Nothing’s stopping them.

Mikey M Says:

They will keep making these as long as people go see them.

I totally agree with John.

I never saw any of the other movies because they looked so terrible and recieved such awful reviews, but my husband works at a movie theatre so I thought “What the hell?” grabbed a bunch of beers and went to go make fun of it.

I thought it was amazing.

One of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen in my life. Yes, there were some painfully bad jokes. There is no plot. It was simple and random and goofy. And that made it hilarious. I dare say the directors purposefully made it dumb. It never took itself too seriously, and seemed self-mocking. It’s not incredibly clever and witty, but it does have a bunch of very good scenes and a humor style that, although it seems crude, is just as viable and respectable as any other. It’s just supposed to be light-hearted and silly, and I think everyone is looking too far into it and doesn’t understand what it’s trying to do.

I think if you see it with an open mind, with a bunch of friends and some alcohol, you’ll really appreciate it and have a lot of fun! :-)

I work at my local cinema and disaster movie is ridiculously popular!
It sells out every time!
It attracts the worst clientele with an IQ of 40, they come two hours early thinking they can enter the screen which is just stupid as a current showing is 30 minutes in, i have seen bits of it and i just think its trying too hard to be funny!

Uhm about the last comment I left, I just wanted to clarify that I was just being sarcastic.

I would’ve taught that by the time you guys reached this sentence: “The acting, script, cinematography - all beautiful”, you would’ve realized it.

I guess those who took it seriously and started to bombard me with insults and whatnot really have no sense of humor.
