[IMDB link] [Netflix link] Our quest for spoof movies continues. This one got a 4.2 on IMDB — not nearly as bad as the EPIC FAIL of a 2.2 raiting given to Epic Movie.
PEOPLE: The Scary Movie writing team. Leslie Nielsen! Jefrey Tambor. Keith David, aka Goliath from Gargoyles.
QUIRKS: Major spoofs include Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Batman Begins. Other spoofs include Superman, Scarface, Police Squad, Mission: Impossible, Final Destination, Tom Cruise/Scientology; as well as references to The Deer Hunter, Airplane!, Rocky 3, Gundam Wing, Catwoman.
Also, the soundtrack includes a song called “Douchebag Of The Year”, as well as a cover of All By Myself.
BAD STUFF: Not particularly memorable. Not particularly funny.
CONCLUSION: Just plain old entertainment – a generic pass. Nothing special.
RECOMMENDATION: If you need more comedy, like spoof movies, have red comic books, are into super heroes … There might be something in this movie for you to enjoy. There was for me.
MOVIE QUOTE: Uncle Albert: [lovingly] “Your thighs look like warm cottage cheese someone threw up on a hot sidewalk.”
FRIENDS’ RATINGS: Benj liked it.
Mood: gonna watch Iron Man finally..tonite!
Music: NoFX – The Death Of John Smith
