You don’t get to see
every day a film more suitably named than “Disaster Movie,” another gratuitous
wannabe parody from the alas prolific Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer duo.
“Disaster” shouldn’t
even be called a movie. It’s more of a drunken, cantankerous hallucination of
the writing-directing team with reference to anything better on the big screens
than their works. And yes, that is absolutely anything.
It’s so unfunny that
even a funeral can be considered more entertaining, as the so-called gags are
even worse than those in “Epic Movie,” “Date Movie” and “Meet the Spartans.” I
can hear you say: that’s hard to believe. Well, then take a look at this:
The flimsy plot can be mainly represented by a recycle bin
which gathers decayed elements from the worst productions ever. The bin can’t
be working properly, as it often throws out garbage such as wannabe-mocking at
just everything from “The
Dark Knight” to “10,000 B.C.,” “Enchanted”
and “Sex and the City” to “High
School Musical”and “Juno.” Although the alleged movie points toward easier
targets such as Michael Jackson, Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) or Dr. Phil, it
constantly fails in being funny.
Amy Winehouse, Angelina Jolie, Facebook, “Hancock,” “Indiana
Jones,” Justin Timberlake, Jessica Simpson…”Disaster Movie” takes aim at
everything. It nevertheless does not bring a single chuckle on your face, even
though it’s hard to believe you will still be in the theater after the first 30
minutes at most.
Having a person gussy up like Hannah Montana is not funny at
all. You don’ have to pay a movie ticket to see that kind of brainless scenes,
even if you get to see once in a lifetime Miley Cyrus getting hit by a meteor.
It’s a hell of a disaster.
