It plays out like an overlong Comedy Central skit lurching for the next laugh without any remorse for the gross misfires in between.

REVIEWS FOR EPIC MOVIE
Maybe these movies are popular, but it seems they just keep getting more inane with each variation on the theme.

sucks
Apr 24, 2008
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...
Jan 22, 2008
The parody is not a bad genre, as the early Zucker films showed us. It's just been put in the control of bad filmmakers.
Jan 15, 2008
This one is a typical time-waster for teenagers or others with disposable income and underdeveloped taste.
Sep 22, 2007
This movie is like a sneeze of bad jokes splattering its germs into the air we all breathe.
Jul 10, 2007
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.

Go rent Blazing Saddles instead.
Jun 25, 2007
...juvenile at best and flat-out lame at worst...

Apr 18, 2007
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.
Feb 22, 2007
Epic in its crapness.
Feb 17, 2007
The most excruciating, unfunny film you'll see this year… if not your entire lifetime.
Feb 17, 2007
Next to Epic Movie and Date Movie, the Scary Movies are French cuisine.
Feb 13, 2007
...another perfect storm of not funny.
Feb 11, 2007
Friedberg and Seltzer's most staggering achievement is rendering "Epic Movie" free from laughs.
Feb 11, 2007
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.
Feb 10, 2007
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.
Feb 8, 2007
When you start thinking that the Taco Bell pitchwoman is perhaps too good for the material, you know the script has some serious problems.
