From the talentless hacks that brought us disappointing pictures like "Spy Hard", "Epic
Movie", or "Meet The Spartans", Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer released this magnum opus
of garbage in August of 2008, which somehow earned a $14-million dollar profit.
The lowest ranked movie of all time on IMDb... this piece of parody drek so egregiously misses
the point of entertainment, it is painful, and even detrimental to watch, playing out
as one long, unfunny joke without a punchline.
The PG-13 rated sideshow of nonsense goes beyond unfunny or boring... becoming outright
insulting drivel: appealing to the stupidest common denominator.
The cast of awful no-name MADtv has-beens aren't even worth mentioning, except for Los
Angeles socialite Kim Kardashian in her feature debut, who showcased better range in her leaked
sex tape.
With barely any semblance of a plot, the endless string of disconnected shots don't even come
close to a "Disaster"-style story.
The dismally paced movie has no rhyme or reason to the dozens of disposable references and
sight-gags littered so haphazardly throughout.
The offensive, crude, immature, and unfunny jokes wouldn't even be amusing to brain-dead
children.
The pointlessly irrelevant cameos, and celebrity impressions lack any humor, criticism, or
subtly: bursting into shots by literally announcing themselves, "It's me, Dr. Phil", one bald
guy quips.
In
an attempt to stay fiercely topical and current, many characters spoof unreleased movies, pathetically
written based only on their source material's trailers -- resulting rather ironically in
a picture that aged terribly, already extremely dated for a five-year-old comedy.
This list of pop-culture items spoofed includes Indiana Jones, Amy Winehouse, Sex And The
City, a number of superheros, Kung Fu Panda, Hannah Montana, and the Chipmunks (who attempt
to eat everyone's testicles for some reason).
Surprisingly, it is almost decently put together in a technical sense...
the shots are lit and framed well, and the sound mix is serviceable: which is why the
massive failure in all other areas is so much more painful, like the low-rent costumes and
cheesy special effects.
Imagine an hour-long episode of Family Guy containing only cutaways... now imagine they're
all five minutes too long, and are embarrassing to watch.
Such an experience barely begins to describe the level of ineptitude required to mangle
together this piece of crap.
Friedberg and Seltzer are a plague on society, an obstacle for evolution: and should be permanently
banned from Hollywood.
This movie's *only* redeeming quality is how short it is, running just 75-minutes before
a series of goofy bloopers pad out the 12-minutes credit sequence, ending with a musical montage
revisiting all of the picture's worst characters; as if to remind you of what you suffered through.
I'd sooner stab out my own eyes with a rusty spork than watch this again.
"Disaster Movie", an "Unmitigated disaster.
Cringe worthy diarrhea."
Now lets read some YouTube comment reviews.
Here's "Disaster Movie" on the "hate"-o-matic... a double GARBAGE.
An unfunny, unwatchable movie with no redeeming features, 47% of you rated this a ONE.
The worst part about this picture, is that unlike poorly made features - this one isn't
harmless.
It is detrimental to society, especially since they keep earning money!
I of course, gave it my lowest possible score; a ONE out of ten.
