Not actually a movie...
...but rather just a list of movies that the filmmakers wanted to
parody, strung together by the weakest plot in film history and a lot of unfunny jokes. You would think that the team responsible for the mess of a movie that was Date Movie would at least have learned something from their last film to help them avoid the same mistakes, but they didn't. It would appear they spent more time making parodies as visually accurate as they could and spent almost no time trying to make the film entertaining. Some of the parodies seem completely out of place and don't even fit into what little plot there is. I couldn't recommend this film to anyone, not even those I hated.. kerata watch Patton movie

A sign of the Apocalypse
The fact that this horrid piece of trash got the green light is
definitely a sign of the apocalypse. I'm a big fan of the parody, as a genre. We've seen great examples of it in films like "Airplane" and "Kentucky Fried Movie." Fast forward about twenty-five years later and what do we have? "Epic Movie." How anyone can laugh at something this juvenile is completely foreign to me. First of all, it's supposed to be a parody of "epic movies," and almost no epic movies are parodied! Do you consider "Snakes on a Plane" to be an epic movie? Do you consider "Nacho Libre" to be an epic movie? And many of the films being made fun of aren't that great in the first place. The first rule of the parody genre is to poke fun at "good movies"! You don't insult bad movies, because a bad movie is an insult within itself! Duh! The filmmakers didn't even make honest attempts to make each gag funny. In the parody of "Snakes," an amateurish black actor plays Samuel L. Jackson and repeatedly yells out "I'm tired of these G.D. snakes on the G.D. plane!" Obviously, he didn't say "G.D.," but the point is in the real movie he says, "I'm tired of these motherf**kin' snakes on the motherf**kin' plane!" But of course, that can't happen because ooooh, then the film will be slapped with an R-rating. The idea of people under the age of 17 not being permitted to see this trash is positively frightening to the studio. If you ask me, no one with an I.Q. OVER 17 should be permitted to see this movie. What I'm basically saying is the joke doesn't work because he's not even saying the same line! The joke would've worked if, first of all, the directors hired a much better actor who does a much better Sam Jackon impersonation, and second of all, used the line that was in the original movie. Because there has to be a "truth" to every joke! Speaking of bad actors, the cast consists primarily of amateurs. The directors probably could've snagged better actors from a high school play. There are some exceptions like Kal Penn, Tony Cox, and Fred Willard (who has the one funny scene in the movie), but obviously they're not given much to work with. I assumed at first it was Crispin Glover that played Willy Wonka in the parody of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," but then I said to myself, "No! Crispin does a movie, like, once a decade." Sure enough, it was him. Say what you want about Crispin's real life persona, but he usually has much better taste in films (i.e.: "Back to the Future" or "River's Edge"). He must've been horribly desperate for a paycheck when he volunteered to participate in this amateur hour. Hector Jimenez, the actor who played Jack Black's friend in "Nacho Libre," also has a role in the film. It makes me glad that his character said few lines in "NL." Obviously, English is not Hector's first language, and he butchers every line of dialogue with his strained delivery. I always say it's important when you do comedy to hire actors who speak English as a first language. If that sounds racist, I'm sorry, but unless you're playing a Harpo-Marx-type role, comedy is all about inflection. Watch the movie "Chasing Papi" if you want to see a good example of an American comedy being executed badly by actors who don't speak the language very well. About the only incentive to watching "Epic Movie" is getting the chance to see Carmen Electra prance around half-naked throughout most of the flick. But even that welcome eventually gets worn out, since we later get "treated" to a scene where Carmen transforms into a fat woman with a unibrow. What is this trend with making Carmen do something horribly unappealing in every comedy she does? In "Scary Movie" there's a scene where she farts. In "Scary Movie 4" there's a scene where she takes a gigantic dump. Is this a conspiracy to stop men from fantasizing about Carmen? Sheesh! If crude, brainless gags about puking and peeing is your cup of tea, then "Epic Movie" may be the film for you. But I do suggest if you do enjoy it...please schedule an appointment with a therapist. Or make an appointment for a cat scan, at least.. |
