...unrelentingly amateurish... Full Review |

This low-budget effort lacks the wit necessary to sustain its brief 80-minute running time. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
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? Full Review |

|
2/5 |
My Big Fat Independent Movie is a frenetic attempt to spoof every major art-house film of the last decade. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
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. Full Review |

 2.5/5 |
Hilarious parody of contemporary indie cinema. Full Review |

|
3/5 |

3/4 |

||
|

Every time the movie seems about to drown in its own blatancy and semicompetence, Gore and company come up with a winning gambit. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Lame spoof of a plethora of '90s indie films, directed in ham-fisted fashion by Philip Zlotorynski. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Too many corners cut, not enough quality control, and a screenplay that simply wasn't ready for camera. Full Review |
