From Cinelinx:
The Final Girls is a self-aware satire of the horror genre with a heart. It tells the story of a group of modern teenagers that get stuck in a 1980's sleepaway camp horror and their fight to get out and – more importantly – survive. The film is oozing with an all-star young comedy cast from Adam DeVine to Alia Shawkat, to even some breakouts like Angela Timbur, this film is so entertaining and one of the most original films I have seen in quite some time.
Film Class Junkies' The Final Girls review, a horror/comedy that fails to capitalize on its great premise.
I saw it - you can tell the director and writer had a lot of love for 80's slashers. The casting was okay too though one of the guys was trying to be too much like Jack Black, if you see it you'll know immediately who I'm talking about.

The Final Girls is a slasher movie, a slasher-movie parody, a horror comedy, and a drama about coming to terms with regrets. Though it’s not especially scary in itself, The Final Girls is the smartest movie about scary movies since Cabin in the Woods.

Imagine The Purple Rose of Cairo meets Friday the 13th, and you’ll get an idea of the high-concept premise behind the disappointing meta-slasher movie, The Final Girls. Directed by A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas’ Todd Strauss-Schulson (that’s not just a credit, folks, it’s a disclaimer), this slapdash send-up of ’80s bodycount flicks starts out with the cheeky promise of a 21st-century Scream, but it quickly runs out of gas.
