Moviefone: Spoof movies instantly get a bad rap. (And, for argument's sake, let's leave parodies like 'Mars Attacks!' and 'Shaun of the Dead' out of this.)
In this article, we're talking about the ones that go for pop culture's jugular and tear apart specific movies individually. The Wayans brothers kicked off the craze somewhat respectably with 'Scary Movie' back in 2000, but ever since, this type of film has been synonymous with critical panning. Even the 'Scary Movie' franchise plummeted from the first to second film.
How does an action movie like Alarum mess up its action scenes so much?
“One Of Them Days” will either become a single outing or a franchise in Issa Rae and Keke Palmer’s filmographies – depending on how well it does.
Wish You Were Here is Julia Stiles' version of The Notebook.
I'm not sure but I think I saw this Movie on HBO and is was bad beyond imagination, I honestly cant remember anything to defend.
It should be "another bad movie" it had some funny things but it was stup!d in general,
I Lol'ed so hard on the part that the guy sings "Janie's got a gun" loud on the mic for the whole school/college and all the polices on the campus start chasing her LMAO
All of these movies suck (the first Scary Movie was alright). And spoof movies are alright at times. Really liked Shaun of the Dead. But all these "Not Another Teen Movie" "Epic Movie" "Superhero Movie" or whatever they're all called (all done by the same guys). They suck. The latest: Vampires Suck. They need to hang it up.
Yea, I actually like the duo of Wright and Pegg. I enjoy Simon Pegg in anything really. And him and Nick Frost work really well together on screen. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, definitely check out Zombieland as well if you haven't already. Two of my favorite spoofs in a while.
I think my top 5 comedies of this past decade would have to be:
1)40-year old virgin
2)Grandma's Boy
3)Clerks 2
4)Hangover
5)Waiting or Old School
Seemed though after the triple threat of 40-year old virgin, Grandma's Boy and Clerks 2...seemed like we had to wait quite a while before we truly got any of that great laugh-out-loud type comedies (by the way I'm not gonna count Shaun of the Dead in my list due to it being a spoof--a totally different kind of beast than a straight up comedy). But even still, while we've had a couple really funny movies. I still haven't had any side-splitting ones since that triple-threat period mentioned above.
I actually enjoy this movie. I mean I guess being that most of the movies it parodied from when I was a teen, and it just hit at the right time.
