in that mindset it’s quite easy to watch. It is hard to resist these; funny or not, the curiosity on what they will goof on next is the thrill of a film like such. They are always fun to see our favorite stars being ripped on and make film in general seem not as serious as it’s put out to be. If anything when these movies are released its more of a summary on what’s the new mainstream flick, and how they will tie them all together into one gigantic funny plot.
The problem is, they haven’t been too funny. With Date Movie at least it stuck to the theme, but it was still a disaster in my eyes. And something epic should have really taken the time to plot out what is actually epic, instead of just rushing into a cluster of physical comedy. It was a great disappointment for the most part, but with that said I was still able to laugh at some things.
Movie Grade: C
Synopsis:
The twisted minds of two of the six writers of "Scary Movie" tackle the biggest mega-blockbusters of all time in "Epic Movie." The story centers on four not-so-young orphans: one raised by a curator at the Louvre (where an albino assassin lurks), another a refugee from Mexican "libre" wrestling, the third a recent victim of snakes on her plane, and the fourth a "normal" resident of a mutant "X"-community. The hapless quartet visits a chocolate factory, where they stumble into an enchanted wardrobe that transports them to the land of Gnarnia (with a "G"). There they meet a flamboyant pirate captain and earnest students of wizardry – and join forces with, among others, a wise-but-horny lion to defeat the evil White Bitch of Gnarnia.
