What to Know

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 Jun 14, 2013 Full Review Jim Schembri 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 Oct 10, 2008 Full Review Paul Byrnes 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. Oct 3, 2008 Full Review Micheal Compton 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. Rated: F Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Jamie Russell 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 Jul 16, 2014 Full Review Serena Donadoni 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.

Audience Member 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review David W It's a disaster all right. Pitifully unfunny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Audience Member 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 EW! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Lincoln R Let’s get to 20 baby Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Gabriel M 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Laura B Wow. I mean… wow. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I gotta apologize to Meet The Spartans. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
