Editorial Reviews

Even within the subgenre of grab-bag comedy, Disaster Movie sets a new bar for free-associative lunacy. To what degree there is a plot, it's vaguely stolen from Cloverfield: A handful of twentysomethings try to rescue someone in a city assaulted by an incomprehensible threat--in this case, falling asteroids. But that's just a thread on which to string a long and increasingly tedious series of gestures towards recent movies (ranging from High School Musical to Enchanted to Sex and the City to Kung Fu Panda) and pop culture figures (Amy Winehouse to Flavor Flav to Dr. Phil to, of course, perpetual punching-bag Michael Jackson). No one over 30 will recognize more than a fraction of the movie's references, but the movie's bigger problem is that there are hardly any actual jokes--the filmmakers seem to think that simply alluding to Hancock or Jumper is funny in and of itself... and it just isn't. Disaster Movie will probably appeal to its primary audience of high-school students and repressed frat boys, for whom the mere mention of homosexuality prompts jittery laughter and who find generically pretty girls and studly boys in tight clothing titillating. It's a wasted opportunity; there are moments that, through sheer incompetence and desperation, suggest a surreal stream-of-consciousness. A filmmaker like Luis Bunuel or Federico Fellini could have turned such raw matter into a satirical aria that would genuinely critique a culture that worships Paris Hilton. Instead, we get this. Featuring, as ever, Carmen Electra.--Bret Fetzer

1.0 out of 5 stars Recipe for the film, December 11, 2008

By	Denzel Lockheart "Up the Irons" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews

INGREDIENTS:
2nd rate actors and comedians
Endless sex jokes
Unsubtle humor
Dumbed down Slapstick
Movies that aren't disaster flicks
Cliche'd jokes everyone's tired of hearing
Two talentless directors
A script full of all of the above

DIRECTIONS:

1. Take the two talentless directors and give them the aforementioned script.

2. Then, put in endless sex jokes and pop culture refrences.

3. Have lame jokes, such as Iron Man getting hit by a cow.

4. Hire a bunch of second rate comedians and actors to play the characters.

5. Don't reshoot any scenes. Rush it as fast as you can so that you can get that paycheck.

6. Release it into theaters and watch MTV kids flock.

BEST SERVED WITH: A vomit bag, and a face-palming pad.

1.0 out of 5 stars the movie is a "disaster", October 31, 2009

By	Kody "ParisHiltonFan" (New York,NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ok, the movie title sums pretty much of the movie up. It's a disaster. I thought it'll be like the "Scary Movie" series but its just garbage. It's so beyond cheesy and lame, there is no word to describe the movie. The casting is horrible, the effects are horrible. Its just one thing after another. I went movie shopping at Wal-Mart, and this was a movie I got. It happened to be $20.00, but in all honesty, its not even worth 20 cents! I threw it away just like I did when I got "Kids in America" starring another washed up druggie: Nicole Richie.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst is over, September 3, 2008

By	Phantom of the Forest. (WA. USA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disaster Movie [Theatrical Release] (Theatrical Release)

I now know that the worst partof my life is over. Disaster movie was a fitting title it was a disaster! I laughed once and that was when I was making fun of the movie too my cousin. Some how I made it almost all the way through this disaster of a film. It is without a doubt the most awful movie I have ever seen not one laugh during the entire flick. When a movie makes you debait suicide it's probily not a good thing.
