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

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

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...

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.

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

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.
