![]() It seems to think that just referring to a movie is humor enough. The problem with even calling this movie a satire is that it rarely bothers to even satirize the movie it references. I'm not sure that they weren't aiming for even younger than that. ![]() I'm not sure if Eric isn't being a little too generous when he says this movie is aimed at teenagers. That is to say that Date Movie was really, really bad, while Epic Movie is just really bad. Kal Penn, Jayma Mays, Crispin Glover, Faune Chambers and Adam Campbell in 20th Century Fox's Epic MovieĪbout the only good thing I have to say about Epic Movie is that I liked it a bit more than I liked last year's Date Movie. ![]() Clearly this movie is made for teenagers, and not very bright ones. Sadly the writers can think of little more than just adding some swear words and sexual innuendoes. The second is how well you think the writers poke fun at those films. First, it is how well you recognize all of the movies and MTV television shows that get referenced here. The entertainment of Epic Movie is based on two factors. Mays spends the entire film imitating Anna Faris. Campbell is as boring here as he was in Date Movie. I can just see the producers hoping and praying that they could get Penn to do this movie just so they could include that joke. Penn then says, “I think I've been there before.” Of course this is a reference to Penn's movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. Penn's biggest moment comes when the White Bitch points out her castle and it ends up being a White Castle restaurant. The best movie moment comes when they go to Hogwarts and find that Hermione is a pregnant chain smoker. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that?Įverything from Pirates of The Carribean to Click to Superman Returns gets skewered, but none very well. WOW! These creative writers came up with changing The White Witch's name to White Bitch. There, they must do battle with The White Bitch. You know, with a silent “G” to avoid copyright laws. Can you guess where Willy gets the nuts for his candy bars? To escape Wonka's taunt of, “Who wants to play with Willy?” The four go through a wardrobe into the land of Gnarnia. The plot, if it's even worth calling it that, is about four people who get trapped in Willy Wonka's factory because Willy wants to put their body parts into his candy. With minimal creativity, Epic Movie proves just how worn out the genre is. Movies making fun of other movies through satire has become a boring gimmick.
