just a pastiche of pop culture crap that's formed into a monstrous bastard of unfunny physical comedy, awful acting, and jokes that are outright flat on delivery...

This one is a typical time-waster for teenagers or others with disposable income and underdeveloped taste.

This movie is like a sneeze of bad jokes splattering its germs into the air we all breathe.

There's very little that's Epic about Epic Movie. While the film has plenty of fun, it's little more than a late-night comic sketch stretched to feature length.

Desperately unamusing comedy that lurches clumsily from one tedious spoof to the next, under the mistaken impression that just referencing a film is enough to get laughs.

The most excruciating, unfunny film you'll see this year… if not your entire lifetime.

Next to Epic Movie and Date Movie, the Scary Movies are French cuisine.

Friedberg and Seltzer's most staggering achievement is rendering "Epic Movie" free from laughs.

The gutter-brow auteurs who helped write the first Scary Movie and created Date Movie milk their lame sketch-comedy minds for yet another punishingly uninspired skewering of Hollywood hits.

Friedberg and Seltzer are completely tone-deaf when it comes to the art of film parody, conjuring none of the adolescent brilliance of Airplane! or even the good-natured irony of 2001's Not Another Teen Movie.

When you start thinking that the Taco Bell pitchwoman is perhaps too good for the material, you know the script has some serious problems.

It is just too bad that the film isn't called Miniscule Movie because that is a better description of this epic-less piece of garbage.

Funnier than Date Movie, not as funny as Scary Movie 4. (Is) a "free" page on MySpace the new indicator that (a film is) pretty cheap all around?
