During a fateful night, a group of impossibly attractive 20-somethings (Matt Lanter, Vanessa Minnillo, Kim Kardashian) must dodge a series of man-made and natural disasters. Twisters, asteroids, earthquakes and singer Amy Winehouse are just some of the perils they face while trying to make their way to safety.

Critics Consensus

Returning to their seemingly bottomless well of flatulence humor, racial stereotypes, and stale pop culture gags, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have produced what is arguably their worst Movie yet.

Josh Rosenblatt

Austin Chronicle

There's no nice way to say this, so I'll just say it: Writer/directors Friedberg and Seltzer are a scourge. They're a plague on our cinematic landscape, a national shame, a danger to our culture.

Rated: 0/5

The Age (Australia)

A dumb, dumb film, to be sure, but also undeniably funny in more spots than a right-thinking, mature adult person feels comfortable admitting.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sydney Morning Herald

A woman a few rows in front of me at the preview chose to write 20 minutes worth of text messages, rather than watch the movie. Even though she was not paying, the price was clearly too high.

Bowling Green Daily News

Nothing more than a 90-minute barrage of unfunny jokes without the hindrance of a pesky plot or character development to get in the way.

Radio Times

Depressingly, these magpie parodies are so cheap to produce they can't fail to make money -- which probably means this interminable franchise is far from over.

Rated: 1/5

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

The pomposity of big-budget B-movies can certainly be taken down a notch, but Friedberg and Seltzer rely too much on trailer moments for their broad comedy.

Well done. Characters real in their human vulnerability. The line, "I never thought it would go this far" echoes our present time in history. Yes. It can go that far. It leaves me with an unsettled conscience.

I expected a funny parody of disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow, not an actual disaster. My head feels like I've had someone stomp on my brain for hours

Funny in 1 hour & 30 minutes!!!!!!! F**k the Critics & Negative reviews, this is the best parody movie ever made!!!!!!! I honestly don’t care what others say, this movie was enjoyable all around. I haven’t seen this since I was a kid and now seeing it as an adult I can’t stop laughing at some of the stuff in it. Alvin & The chipmunks is my all time favorite part in this movie, the cussing, the action, everything. Other unforgettable moments were also the head on commercial and the princess shooting speed racer and Mr. Parker from Friday playing Indiana Jones.
