Guys its just another movie to watch high!

Well, the title's funnier than most...

I like someone making fun of the Apatow style of film, but I wish it was wittier than this. At bare minimum, they could have taken a swing at "Funny People", which I loved when it came out but has since lost it's appeal.

They Can Not Be Serious! This Looks Awful...Even For Me!

this thing looks freekin' funny as hell! i love spoofs!!! a friend of mine saw it at a screening and said it had a few huge laughs...not the best movie in the world, but a few really huge laughs.

I wonder how they can even use that name as the movie title.. Besides "Sarah Marshall" it's just a list of the movies they're spoofing verbatim with some extra words thrown in to make it resemble an actual title.

May I add that my IQ dropped 40 points from watching that trailer?

If Fox can release Epic Movie and Date Movie and Meet the Spartans...this could play in a theater near you.

I really don't think anyone is really freakin' out on goofin' on Apatow or even a redundancy of spoofing a comedy...it's more along the lines that if they're going to actually SPOOF some flicks, make the actual SPOOFING quality stuff, not just lowbrow antics aimed at freshmen in high school...which to be honest is part of the demographic that the studios tend to shoot toward with these spoof movies in recent years.

A friend of mine thinks the people who do go see these current crop of spoof movies do so because they like to watch and think, "OH, I KNOW WHAT THAT'S FROM!!!" He kind of has a point. Usually these movies don't offer anything more than retreads of old scenes in the movies they're goofing on and the humor misses the mark a lot of the time. And you end up seeing the same crap again and again and again...

For example, it's like in almost every one of these current crop of spoof movies there's always someone who ends up breakdancing out of nowhere (the character in SuperHero Movie on the wall crawling up like Spider-man...the Spartans in Meet The Spartans, etc...). At least when Johnny Dangerously (starring Michael Keaton) did breakdancing in that flick in the mid-80s, it was still a topical thing.

I'll pass on this flick, big-screen or dvd.

I would rather watch this over that Scientology made Karate Kid remake. At least this movie doesn't hide the fact that it is crap. It embraces it and doesn't take itself seriously.

The only funny part was the to catch a predator parody (is it?) clip hahaha

So this is probably the worst trailer I have ever seen in my life, and I am certainly not trying to defend it in any way possible beacsue honestly it sucked beyond words. But what I find funny is that you love to post spoofs on other films like Indiana Jones and Transformers and mock all the stupid stuff in those films, but when somebody makes a spoof (albeit an awful one) on the all mighty Apatow, everybody freaks out, almost calling it blasphemy. Now I get that the point of a spoof is to be funny which this one certainly does not seem to accomplish, but come on; somebody can at least try to goof on Apatow and co without everybody freaking out.

plus... Old people butt-fucking? This really does look worse than Meet The Spartans, Epic Movie, you name it.

I don't think the freaking out is due to the quality of Apatow so much as the redundancy of parodying a comedy. "Hey remember, remember that part in 40 Year Old Virgin where Leslie Mann pukes on Steve Carell? That was kinda funny. What if in our movie we have the girl HOSING VOMIT WHILE SHE DRIVES WITH HER VAGINA." That's not even a parody. It doesn't make sense.

Why did I watch this?
I feel like I just drank warm tequila out of a toilet in Trenton, New Jersey.

When is that ever a good idea?

Bah. I say we take off and nuke the entire film from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Y'know, I'm 37 years old and can remember back when spoof movies had this certain element about them that not only seperated them from the rest of the cinematic pack of comedies, but also made them unique and highly regarded.
That element?
ACTUALLY BEING FUNNY!!!
This movie is anything but. Sad to see we've seemed to have people making spoof movies that aren't even making any sort of attempt to strive for the excellence of either Airplane or Naked Gun. Hell they're not even striving for the level of the Val Kilmer spoof flick Top Secret...which I dig on...especially his singing Tootie-Fruitie in that one scene.
Honestly, the last time I was into any sort of a spoof movie was either the first Scary Movie or Not Another Teen Movie.
This movie and it's trailer is yet another sad excuse of whay I've come to refer to as Celluloid Hiroshima...A FILM DESTINED TO BOMB!

Even sadder?
The current generation of teens and a few in their early 20s will eat this crap up. It kind of disgusts me how they seem to not mind getting cinematically raped like this...plunking down $$$ for cookie-cutter/assembly line jokes made even crappier then the jokes that already played out once already.
One kid I talked to loved Meet The Spartans and I told him, "Kid, if that's what you think of as "genius comedy" (his words) you'll love it being some big burly convict's girlfriend in prison one day, because that's almost the same outcome in a metaphorical sense."
These kids today will eat this crapfest of a flick up! Whether on the big-screen (doubtful, but Superhero movie was at the theater...) or on dvd, the sheep will be led to the slaughter.
I didn't laugh once during this trailer.
In fact...I need a shower now!
YEESH!!!!!!

Exactly. Airplane was a perfect spoof film, same with Spaceballs and Naked Gun.

Now what do we have? Friedberg and Seltzer making shite every 6 months, cranking out painfully obvious and unfunny jokes and somehow getting paid for it.

This was just offensive to watch. I feel insulted, dirty and have a strong desire to write to a congressman or senator that films like this should be banned and their creators stabbed to death with broken shards of Airplane! and Spaceballs dvd's.

They just used the exact same jokes from the films they were spoofing!

At least the ___ Movie trailers seemed to be actually parodying the movie to some extent, even if it was really poorly.

I've never heard of this "Felt" movie. Is it any good?

Its better than "About It" LOL

Yeah. That was just a gender neutral knockoff of "About A Boy".

i think it looks hilarious. i wont be snobby about it.

You don't have to be snobby to think that movie isn't funny.

To be honest it actually looked better than most of the "_____ Movie" bullshit until they did the "can you hear me now?" guy.

I think it is an unwritten rule to include that guy on every Spoof Movie.

its shit like this that gets me pissed off. I'm working full time busting my ass while getting underpaid, while theres dumbass people making mad money making bullshit like this... funny how this country works

but they gave us a naked asian chick

what have u given us??

I'm very picky about the movies I pay to see. If someone's getting rich, it's certainly not off my (100) dime(s).

Besides, there's something almost poetic about these guy's ability to milk old material and get morons to watch it.

So true...

I think we're all now dumber having watched that. I for one weep for my lost braincells.

This is what I thought when I read your post, and I LOL'd all over myself;

Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Billy Madison: Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

Is it just me or does the chick in the pic look like a cracked out Jessics Simpson?

I thought it was Jessica Simpson before viewing the trailer.

Yeah, I totally agree with your point!

WTF? Not even The Asylum would stoop to this level, and that's saying a lot.

I actually got invited to a test screening of this about a month ago. Did not attend, for obvious reasons. But it seems that at one point at least they were hoping for theatrical distribution.

You realize that all of these movies basically use family guy's formula, right?

Except Family Guy can actually be funny or at least somewhat original. I know a lot of people here don't like that show but lets not degrade it to the point where we're comparing it to the likes of this mess.

But Family Guy is it's own story - it refers to other works. This just IS other works

Finally a movie that Dragon Ball is better than.

haha.

wont lie, the movie title cracked me up haha

When I saw the title for the first time I thought it was a youtube trailer mashup...which might have been good.

you should have lied

This is why we need natural selection. These people would have died out years ago and this waste of money would have never existed. And the worst thing is that there will be someone out there who watches it.

Are you calling for eugenics?

Not seriously, but it's an option. :)

A lesson in how to spoof comedy:
Take joke from another movie
Make joke shittier
Bonus points awarded for every inane pop culture reference you can shoehorn in

If all else fails, get a black man who sounds like Seth Rogen to repeat one of Seth Rogen's lines verbatim (this one is if I'm recalling correctly that the "If those are your nipples..." line was in 40 Year Old Virgin)
