Four adult orphans (Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, Faune Chambers, Jayma Mays) have an incredible adventure in a spoof of blockbuster and fantasy films. They visit a bizarre confectioner's chocolate factory and enter a mythic realm in which they must help a wise but lusty lion rid the land of a witchy woman.

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.

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.

The most amazing thing was, it done how had so many well known actors and comedians, yet no good acting or jokes.

This film throws every bottom of the barrel joke, every product placement, every slapstick just to make it unbearable, and yet this is from the same directors who have no clue how to make a good comedy.

For anyone with a decent sense of dry humor this film was phenomenal. Leave it to people to be as critical as ever for a satirical film, especially the Hollywood critics that have zero sense of reality and irony. If you enjoyed the Scary Movies, you'll love this one too.

A raunchy and unfunny comedy that's better at disgusting than entertaining.
