Critic Reviews

  • 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.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    Total and utter crap. You want a good parody movie? Go watch Airplane! This is actually the first movie I ever had nightmares about paying to watch. If they made an "Everybody Poops:The Movie", it would be better than watching this. The only "parody" film that is… More

    I felt robbed as I walked away from the film, I could have honestly complained that this film should not be shown to eyes of the public, states everything that should not be in a film, tries ever so desperate to be funny, but of course, we all know that.

    An epic failure in comedy writing. Having characters go around pointing out pop culture references is not joke writing.
