Top CriticClever at times, hilarious on occasion, but doesn't quite make it into the spoof hall of fame.
11/23/05
Hilarious parody of contemporary indie cinema.
11/24/05
It's a sour, petty act of mockery that values its own ineptitude over genuine cleverness, travestying Quentin Tarantino and others simply for dreaming up gimmicks that worked.

Top CriticIf you've seen all the above films, this will all sound just as silly as it is. If you haven't, it will just sound cuckoo.

Top CriticThis 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.

Top CriticThe 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?

Not every joke connects, but Gore and director Philip Zlotorynski make sure that five more are waiting around the corner.

Top Critic...unrelentingly amateurish...
01/14/06
Too many corners cut, not enough quality control, and a screenplay that simply wasn't ready for camera.
10/22/05
This low-budget effort lacks the wit necessary to sustain its brief 80-minute running time.
12/29/05
Top CriticEvery time the movie seems about to drown in its own blatancy and semicompetence, Gore and company come up with a winning gambit.
10/27/05
Lame spoof of a plethora of '90s indie films, directed in ham-fisted fashion by Philip Zlotorynski.
