Even within the subgenre of grab-bag comedy, Disaster Movie sets a new bar for free-associative lunacy. To what degree there is a plot, it's vaguely stolen from Cloverfield: A handful of twentysomethings try to rescue someone in a city assaulted by an incomprehensible threat--in this case, falling asteroids. But that's just a thread on which to string a long and increasingly tedious series of gestures towards recent movies (ranging from High School Musical to Enchanted to Sex and the City to Kung Fu Panda) and pop culture figures (Amy Winehouse to Flavor Flav to Dr. Phil to, of course, perpetual punching-bag Michael Jackson). No one over 30 will recognize more than a fraction of the movie's references, but the movie's bigger problem is that there are hardly any actual jokes--the filmmakers seem to think that simply alluding to Hancock or Jumper is funny in and of itself... and it just isn't. Disaster Movie will probably appeal to its primary audience of high-school students and repressed frat boys, for whom the mere mention of homosexuality prompts jittery laughter and who find generically pretty girls and studly boys in tight clothing titillating. It's a wasted opportunity; there are moments that, through sheer incompetence and desperation, suggest a surreal stream-of-consciousness. A filmmaker like Luis Bunuel or Federico Fellini could have turned such raw matter into a satirical aria that would genuinely critique a culture that worships Paris Hilton. Instead, we get this. Featuring, as ever, Carmen Electra.--Bret Fetzer |

the movie is a "disaster" by Kody (New York,NY)  1 Stars
November 01, 2009
Ok, the movie title sums pretty much of the movie up. It's a disaster. I thought it'll be like the "Scary Movie" series but its just garbage. It's so beyond cheesy and lame, there is no word to describe the movie. The casting is horrible, the effects are horrible. Its just one thing after another. I went movie shopping at Wal-Mart, and this was a movie I got. It happened to be $20.00, but in all honesty, its not even worth 20 cents! I threw it away just like I did when I got "Kids in America" starring another washed up druggie: Nicole Richie.

It's one of those comedy movies where you can only watch it once (twice if you're really bored).

Ghastly... by Jeff in Madtown (Madison, WI) 1 Stars
June 16, 2009
I cannot believe how poor this movie is. I didn't expect anything as entertaining as Scary Movie, but I did expect that it would be roughly on par with Date Movie. Boy was I mistaken. If you really must see Carmen and Kim, go rent it for a buck; do not waste your money on this film. I bought it without having seen it, and threw it away after watching it.

This sucked by Deimos (Alberta) 1 Stars
June 14, 2009
After the Scary Movie series thses films went to total garbage. Meet the Spartans, Diaster Movie, SuperHero movie were all total tripe. This movie is not funny and the films title is self discription: it is a total Disaster in every sence. Whoever directed it should be shot for making such a waste of time film. This is one of those movies where you curse it and demand your wasted two hours of life back...it's that bad. To much dance off's and gay music just like Meet The Spartans.....just lame and stupid.

Lighten up! by Paul Belikian 5 Stars
June 07, 2009
I can't believe how many people think this movie was supposed to be some kind of a comedy masterpiece. Yes, I thought it was funny has hell and yes, stupid as hell too! I knew from the start it was never meant to be taken seriously at all. I totally love these movies because they are so stupid, predictable, and outrageous! As for Bret Fetzer, Amazon's editor, sorry dude, I got all the references and I'm way over 30. Actually Bret, it seems to me that most all viewers under the age of 30 are the ones who didn't get the jest of the movie.
