Epic Movie : 2 of 5
2.09.2007 6:49 PM \| Link	I'm just as surprised as you are that I saw this movie, but my pal Melinda and I went because there really wasn't anything else that one of us hadn't already seen! Of course, Epic Movie is pretty much mindless, but every now and then it's not so bad to just laugh for a while and wonder how some movies ever get made. The idea is just to spoof tons of recent Hollywood blockbuster films, so lots of things are thrown together to make some kind of story. I definitely wasn't expecting The Chronicles of Narnia (or Gnarnia, in this case) to be the framework for the plot, but I guess it worked pretty well. Although several jokes fell flat, there were some moments I really enjoyed, especially the Harry Potter segment, where Harry and his friends are all middle-aged and run-down even though they are supposed to be teenagers (so true!). The Pirates of the Caribbean spoof was pretty good, especially the crazy music video (based on Lazy Sunday from Saturday Night Live). It was kind of fun seeing how well they reproduced sets and props from the various films, which was a nice distraction whenever the jokes were lame. I wouldn't really recommend Epic Movie to anybody, but I still got some laughs in and had good time seeing it. Labels: harry potter, movies
