A virtual smorgasbord of spoof, Epic Movie tells the tale of four fully grown orphans: one the victim of snakes that attacked her plane, another raised by a kindly Louvre curator, the third a Mexican "libre" wrestling refuge, and the last an average mutant from an "X"-community. When the curious quartet visits a sprawling chocolate factory, they stumble across a magical wardrobe which transports them to the enchanted land of Gnarnia. It seems that the wondrous fantasy land has recently fallen under the spell of the evil White Bitch (Jennifer Coolidge), and in order to bring peace back to Gnarnia these four bumbling mortals will have to join forces with a charismatic pirate, a painfully sincere group of aspiring wizards, and one particularly libidinous lion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
The gutter-brow auteurs who helped write the first Scary Movie and created Date Movie milk their lame sketch-comedy minds for yet another punishingly uninspired skewering of Hollywood hits.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Despite all the scatological high jinks on display, most of the satire is affectionate rather than merciless.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
The makers of Epic Movie have just discovered the existence of urine, vomit and pimples, and declared them hilarious.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
How can you make fun of such self-aware subjects as Borat or Johnny Depp's winkingly fey Jack Sparrow? Who hasn't already noticed Tom Hanks' bad Da Vinci Code hair? And really, is there anything left to say about Samuel L. Jackson and those snakes?
-
Jake Coyle, Associated Press
The film never becomes anything of its own, however; it merely jumps from spoof to spoof, often with tenuous transitions.
