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.

    A comedy is supposed to make you laugh right? I mean, isn't that the basic criteria? Well, this tragic piece of garbage failed to even present a single good joke. It's so lame, stupid and badly timed that it almost put my little brother to tears. The only thing that made it… More

    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.
