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, 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

Disaster Movie, February 18, 2009
It was a DISASTER!!! I am a big spoof/stupid humor movie kind of guy, but this was really really pathetic. In fact, I gave the Blu-Ray away to a co-worker, wouldn't even want to re-sell it.

A new low!, January 17, 2009
A twenty something man named Will (Matt Lanter) had an usual dream where he was in the movie "10,000 B.C" as Amy Winehouse has warned him that the end of the world will hit the next day. But unfortunately it has really came true as he joins up with friends like Calvin (Gary G Thang Johnson), Amy (Vanessa Minnilo), and Enchanted Princess (Nicole Parker) all join forces as they must try to survive a living apocalypse for they face tornados, meet superheroes, battle against ravanous killer singing Chipmunks, battle against Beowulf and Kung-Fu Panda and must try to return the Crystal Skull back to it's place before the world ends.
An unbelievable mess of a movie! Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer who gave us the horrible parody movies "Date Movie", "Epic Movie" and "Meet The Spartans" has done something much worse then any of them. Despite having the talented and funny Kim Kardashian, Carmen Electra and Tony Cox, this is one seriously hopeless movie that tries hard to spoof things. Despite it's title it does spoof only a few disaster movies like "Armageddon", "Earthquake", "Cloverfield", "The Day After Tommorow" and even "Twister" this one spoofs movies that just recently came out such as "Iron Man", "Incredible Hulk", "Wanted", "Kung Fu Panda", "High School Musical", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "Dark Knight", "1,0000 BC", "Night at the Museum", "Hellboy 2", "Superbad", "Get Smart", "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", "Enchanted", and other stuff from last year which ARE not disaster movies. This movie doesn't even spoof it is referencing stuff like Pop Culture and got ideas from trailers that Friedberg and Seltzer watched then get the ideas on a cocktail napkin. The jokes are truly unfunny yet very groan inducing with forehead slapping gags that will make you gag literally with tasteless vulger jokes. And i thought "Hobgoblins" and "Meet The Spartans" were bad but this one blows them away in terms of awfulness with terrible acting, cheap special effects and it looks like it was filmed in a cardboard box, avoid this movie like the plague.
This Blu-Ray does have nice transfer with great sound but you can't polish a turd and this has featurettes with audio commentary with picture-in-picture view commentary of the cast and crew. I couldn't believe i rented this movie on Blu-Ray, don't waste your time and money renting this bomb unless you want something to suffer through.
