Scary Movie screenwriters Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer join forces to parody the "biggest" movies ever to hit the silver screen in this comedy that gives such popular box-office hits as Pirates o... read more read more...f the Caribbean and Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe the same treatment that Scary Movie gave to the slasher subgenre. A virtual smorgasbord of spoof, Epic Movie tells the tale of four fully grown orphans: one the victim of snakes that attacked her plane, another raised by a kindly Louvre curator, the third a Mexican "libre" wrestling refuge, and the last an average mutant from an "X"-community. When the curious quartet visits a sprawling chocolate factory, they stumble across a magical wardrobe which transports them to the enchanted land of Gnarnia. It seems that the wondrous fantasy land has recently fallen under the spell of the evil White Bitch (Jennifer Coolidge), and in order to bring peace back to Gnarnia these four bumbling mortals will have to join forces with a charismatic pirate, a painfully sincere group of aspiring wizards, and one particularly libidinous lion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    It was umm okay . . yah not.
  • February 6, 2012
    A comedy is supposed to make you laugh right? I mean, isn't that the basic criteria? Well, this tragic piece of garbage failed to even present a single good joke. It's so lame, stupid and badly timed that it almost put my little brother to tears. The only thing that made it sligh... read moretly watchable was the wide range of movie references, which a major movie-buff like me could appreciate on some level (although only due to the minor amusement found in the recognition factors, as opposed to any real comical value). Sadly, however, it's still one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm just glad I didn't pay to see it, and I feel truly sorry for those who did. Because when all is said and done, Epic Movie is nothing but an Epic Fail.

    Total and utter crap. You want a good parody movie? Go watch Airplane! This is actually the first movie I ever had nightmares about paying to watch. If they made an "Everybody Poops:The Movie", it would be better than watching this. The only "parody" film that is worse than this ... read moremovie is Disaster Movie which is also a giant disaster. Overall: This movie is a giant waste of time. Watching grass grow covered in paint drying is a better time... because your brain cells wont be murdered.

    I felt robbed as I walked away from the film, I could have honestly complained that this film should not be shown to eyes of the public, states everything that should not be in a film, tries ever so desperate to be funny, but of course, we all know that.

    An epic failure in comedy writing. Having characters go around pointing out pop culture references is not joke writing.

    Quite funny!
  • April 2, 2011
    One of the worst films ever made, and one of the worst of the film series. I truly hated this movie. Its not even funny people.

    In the spirit of "Scary Movie" and "Date Movie, "Epic Movie" is a parody that spoofs recent mega-blockbusters. The comedy centers itself around four orphans who visit a chocolate factory and are transported to the wonderful land of Gnarnia, after stumbling upon an enchanted wardr... read moreobe. There they battle pirates, encounter earnest wizards and attempt to defeat Gnarnia's dastardly White Bitch.

    This movie is a white bitch.

    Grade: F

    From the makers of Scary movie and the love movie, Epic Movie is quite simply the spoof of Epic movies such as Da Vinci Code, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

    This one I find is slightly more watchable than a few I have seen.
  • November 28, 2010
    Wow this really is bad and I quite like spoof films! This is just plain awful and not funny 99% of the time. It mainly spoofs The Chronicle of Narnia, Willy Wonka, Da Vinci Code and the Pirates of the Caribbean. Check out my Spoof list for some decent ones!

Despite all the scatological high jinks on display, most of the satire is affectionate rather than merciless. Full Review

The makers of Epic Movie have just discovered the existence of urine, vomit and pimples, and declared them hilarious. Full Review

How can you make fun of such self-aware subjects as Borat or Johnny Depp's winkingly fey Jack Sparrow? Who hasn't already noticed Tom Hanks' bad Da Vinci Code hair? And really, is there anything left ... Full Review

The film never becomes anything of its own, however; it merely jumps from spoof to spoof, often with tenuous transitions. Full Review

You know a movie parody is in trouble when you can't quite figure out the frame of reference for the parody. Full Review

The real problem with Epic Movie is that while it does a decent job imitating films, it never bothers to make fun of or have fun with them. Full Review

The cinematic equivalent of a tapeworm, this delivers few laughs beyond the initial chuckles of recognition. Full Review

What you miss most is the shamelessness and wit that Anna Faris and Regina Hall have brought to four installments of Scary Movie. In lieu of those two, there are exploding pimples, a tongue frozen on ... Full Review

Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer must be stopped. For the last 10 years, this filmmaking team has created a series of spoof movies so feeble, shoddy and unfunny that they may be part of a diabolical,... Full Review

Writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer seem to think a half-baked imitation of the original constitutes instant comic gold.
