This low-budget effort lacks the wit necessary to sustain its brief 80-minute running time.

Top Critic The juvenile gags seem aimed at moviegoers who hate the whole idea of independent/art/foreign-language films and the stuck-up eggheads who like them -- so what's the point?

My Big Fat Independent Movie is a frenetic attempt to spoof every major art-house film of the last decade.

Top Critic This painfully unfunny spoof promises to do for independent movies what Airplane! did for disaster movies, but mostly what My Big Fat Independent Movie does is demonstrate the ineptitude of its makers.

Lame spoof of a plethora of '90s indie films, directed in ham-fisted fashion by Philip Zlotorynski.

Top Critic Too many corners cut, not enough quality control, and a screenplay that simply wasn't ready for camera.
