1.0 out of 5 stars
Parody is dead, November 30, 2008
Once again that talentless duo that is Selzer and Friedberg show that they can sink lower than Meet The Spartans with this steaming waste of celluloid. I thought that Meet The Spartans scraped the barrel when it came to laughs but this cinematic abortion breaks through the bottom of the barrel to scrape the ground the barrel is on to get laughs and it still fails!
These two chuckleheads still have the same bad habit of explaining the jokes to you as if you were retarded(if you liked this movie chances are you probably are). Examples: "Its an inconvenient truth, its global warming", "Come here you Kung fu Panda", " I know because I saw Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of the Crystal Skull", "Let Me get my Get Smart phone", " I thought I'd cheer you up with a high school musical", What is this enchanted place". Sheer genius.
You know for a movie titled Disaster movie, you would think that they'd be spoofing movies like Twister, Dante's Peak, Volcano, The Day After Tomorrow right? WRONG. The camera shakes a couple of times, You see some cheesy plastic asteroids, a couple of cows floating around and a very crummy CGI tornado. The movie targets films like Juno, Alvin and The Chipmunks, Superbad, High School Musical, Step Up, Enchanted, The Incredible Hulk, Kung Fu Panda, The Dark Knight and a slew of other summer blockbuster flicks including Hancock. Now tell me, what do these movies have to do with disaster movies? Nothing.
Nobody in this movie does anything that resembles acting and its safe to say that this "movie" is 100% laugh free. None of the "jokes" work and they just drag on for minutes at a time. Seltzer and Freidberg are unfunny hacks that killed a once funny genre with their grave dead brand of humor. If you want a good parody stick with Scary Movie(the first one), Top Secret, Johnny Dangerously, Airplane, Not Another Teen Movie, Mafia!, Baseketball, Hot Shots(part one and Part Deux), The Naked Gun Series, Dont Be A Menace, Hollywood Shuffle, Spaced Invaders, CB4, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Dead Men Dont Wear Plaid, Last Action Hero(yeah, I said it), Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Duck Soup and every other spoof that came before the advent of Scary Movie 2. Disaster Movie is complete and utter garbage that even those brainless yokels that come on Jerry Springer wouldn't find funny(yes, its THAT bad). Do not waste another dollar on these idiotic circus clowns (Seltzer and Freidberg)and their lame parodies.
Parody is dead and Aaron Seltzer and Jason Freidberg are the undertakers.
Rest In Peace Parody 1933-2008

A script full of all of the above
DIRECTIONS:
1. Take the two talentless directors and give them the aforementioned script.
