Review of Epic Movie (2007) by Someguy — 26 Dec 2007

This movie sucked. I liked the Scary Movies (even the 4th one gave me a few laughs), Date Movie was a real let down but this is just horrible. Only two mildly funny bits- the Cribs ripoff (complete with flatscreens in the toilet bowl) and the bit where Kanye West popped up and said the White Bitch didn't care about black people.

After that, nothing. Just a whole bunch of unfunny jokes and cringe worthy musical numbers. Were these guys trying to make a comedy or a musical? It's like they saw Idlewild and thought the idea of a 'hip-hop musical' was good, so all of a sudden everyone in the film starts breakdancing for no reason, scratch decks materialise out of thin air and everyone starts rapping.

And this happens every five minutes. It's pathetic and definitely not funny. Some advice for Mr '2 of the 6 writer of Scary Movie'- cut out all the dumbass 'whiteys trying to be black' musical numbers.

Instead, focus on writing some decent jokes, link them together with a serviceable story and your next film may be almost watchable.
