Product Description

Product Description

Spoof comedy from 'Scary Movie' screenwriters Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. It 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.

From Amazon.co.uk

By dint of the inexplicable popularity of their send-up of movie genres in the parody movies Scary Movie and Date Movie, writer/director duo Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer probably got an epic-sized bucket of cash for this hastily stitched pastiche of drive-by entertainment. There's no particular variety of movie they were sent to send up this time, unless big box-office grossers has now become a genre in and of itself. If so, Epic Movie may well qualify as part of that league itself. Very little expense has been spared to make so-called "comic" references to a slew of mostly recent blockbusters--The Chronicles of Narnia, Borat, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the X-Men and Harry Potter series, Superman Returns, Nacho Libre, and The Da Vinci Code to name a few--and it's assumed we've seen them all.

In a goofy thread of a story about four orphans plucked from some of the above, battle must be done through various bastardized plots from same so that a prophecy can be fulfilled and they can assume their rightful place as rulers of a sacred land. Lots of crotch kicks, fart, urine, and vomit jokes speed by as we pass through Willie Wonka's factory and a magical wardrobe with an unusually interesting assortment of look-alikes and name actors caught up in the gag mix (some of it legitimately funny). Darrell Hammond, Crispin Glover, David Carradine, Kevin McDonald, Carmen Electra, Kal Penn put on game (and sometimes gamy) faces, and it's definitely a hoot to watch comedy improv alums Fred Willard and Jennifer Coolidge as Aslo the Lion and the White Bitch do battle in a Narnian good vs. evil character smackdown. As lame as you already expect a movie like this to be, anything that can throw together an homage to C.S. Lewis alongside MTV's Punk'd in less than 90 minutes can't be all bad. --Ted Fry

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen, a lazy, boring pastiche of recent bigs hits, badly directed, badly scripted, badly paced, badly acted and very badly socred, wathching this film is like rubbing your eyes with curry powder and sandpaper, expect its even more painful. I only laughed once, and that was a manic laugh of pain when I realised I had wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this.

If you are tempted to watch this film DON'T. If by some small chance of misfortune you own a copy, don't watch it-Throw it under a car, eat it, use it as a book mark, melt in the microwave, all are more entertaining options than watching it. This product can be summed up in four lines.

-Epic Dissapointment
-Epic Laziness
-Epic Waste of Time
-Epic Fail.

Calling Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer's films "bad" doesn't really capture the experience of watching them. Bad comedies are painful to watch, especially in a packed theatre, because jokes come one after another to no effect, and you realise that this film should be making you laugh, but isn't. Friedberg and Seltzer, on the other hand, don't write "jokes" in a normal sense, with setups or even punchlines. They don't attempt to connect with their audience and establish context in any way. Instead they just re-create scenes from current films in a vaguely light-hearted manner, like amateur actors doing a show at a school fete, while peppering them with pop culture references. The closest Epic Movie and its peers come to actual humour is through half-hearted bits of lame slapstick. Therefore, watching them isn't painful, just boring and kind of annoying.
For a while I thought this trend of lazy non-parodies was started by Scary Movie, a hilarious Wayans brothers film that satirised 90s thrillers and had Friedberg and Seltzer on its writing team (Epic Movie boasts that it's by "two of the six writers of Scary Movie"), but really it goes back to 1996's Spy Hard, a lucklustre Leslie Nielsen spoof of James Bond. Friedberg and Seltzer, for whom Spy Hard was their debut, were two of four writers on that, which used their signature style of copying rather than parodying, like when Nielsen does the John Travolta dance from Pulp Fiction. Spy Hard was the blueprint for their later films.
Still, there must be an audience for them, otherwise they wouldn't keep getting made. Let's face it, we watch what we choose to; nobody's forcing anyone to spend money on Epic Movie (I hope). If Friedberg and Seltzer can make millions just farting around, good for them. And if people truly enjoy this crap, well, good for them too. I was once in a kebab shop where Meet the Spartans was playing on a TV in a corner, and the guy behind the counter seemed to be enjoying it.

There are various uses you could put this DVD to if you purchased it.
- Need an unusual, fun but cheap mug coaster? The disc should be removed from the packaging - print out a photograph and cut it to the shape of the DVD - now you have a coaster with a picture on it, ideal to get those party conversations going.
- Need a ransom note? There are some unusual fonts used in the packaging - the letters could be cut out and pasted onto any commonly used untraceable A4 paper to issue your demands without leaving incriminating handwriting
- Loose DVD's lying around, getting scratched? The DVD cover used for this movie could be recycled to use for other discs. Simply draw on a paper a suitable design and text, and insert into the outer plastic sleeve to complete the effect.

However, under no circumstances, ever watch this movie. It is execrable, having no redeeming features whatsoever... not a single laugh, not even a sly grin passed my lips during the entire proceedings.
Why do moviemakers feel that simply copying sections or performances from other movies but with cheaper actors and ending in a fart or a fleeting glimpse of breasts actually passes for satire??
For the record, if you care, the movies copied here are almost entirely Chronicles of Narnia, with a little of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and one character from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Avoid.
Like the plague.

Where's the button for 'no stars'?
When Brazil won the World Cup for the third time, they let them keep the trophy. Similarly, the trophy for "Worst Film Ever Made" should be given in perpetuity to the makers of this jaw-droppingly awful drivel, because the competition is now closed forever. It simply isn't possible to make a worse film than this. "Epic Movie" is so brainless, it makes Dude, Where's My Car? look as intellectual as The Seventh Seal. Mind you, it's so humourless it makes The Seventh Seal seem as funny as Dude, Where's My Car?.
It's not just that it's insultingly unfunny (though it certainly is), this film is also thoroughly inept. They say that the people involved had made movies before, but I'm not convinced. My 12-year-old found it puerile and obvious. My 14-year-old squirmed in discomfort. Apart from the competent cinematography, everything about this film is bad.
The story starts as Charlie & The Chocolate Factory but then lurches into The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, only with moronic young adults instead of children to allow for ruder 'jokes'.
