Critics Consensus

A crude comedy with nothing new or insightful to say about the subjects it satirizes.

Tim Grierson

Screen International

A painful regurgitation of memorable moments from recent Hollywood blockbusters, the spoof film Epic Movie is almost entirely devoid of laughs.

The most excruciating, unfunny film you'll see this year... if not your entire lifetime.

Epic Movie does improve on Date Movie, but that's like saying a broken arm is better than a broken leg. Both breaks are pretty painful.

It plays out like an overlong Comedy Central skit lurching for the next laugh without any remorse for the gross misfires in between.

Rated: 1.5/4

I’ve never watched a movie that made me think “man my time on this earth could have definitely been used better on anything else”. Well, today I doing a movie that did exactly that. Epic Movie is one of the worst abominations ever put to film, it’s only claim to fame is being one of the worst films ever made. Riding the coat tails of much better films to bring in an audience is already scummy, but when the spoof is so unbearably bad and doesn’t add anything funny to the film it’s spoofing then what’s the point? I’ll tell you the point the point of making this movie. To bring in the cash from the actual narnia’s audience with the promise of a good film. Simply put, they lied. The Airplane movies were great because they were their own separate entities from the Airport series they were spoofing. The point of this was to tell the same exact story, but Kumar is in it now. The Channel Awesome movies are better. Thats a pretty damn low bar. I cannot say it enough, this is THE SINGLE WORST film I’ve ever watched in my life. .5/5 stars. Go to hell.
