I like how the movie's really just a bunch of pop-culture references mixed with shitty potty humor. Most of the movies parodied aren't even worthy of being parodied. Borat? X3? Chronicles of Narnia?

To be honest, Scary Movie 3 was my favorite. Haven't seen date movie, I feel like the spoof concept is getting a little stale these days.

Yeah, date movie might be the worst movie I've ever seen. I doubt I'd waste 10 bucks to see this one.

I'm personally getting sick of all these parodies... where's the originality? They're just doing what MST3k did, but putting the witty comments in the movies themselves. Come on, Hollywood writers are getting paid enough to think up original ideas, they could at least TRY. I certainly wont be spending $9 (yes, they're that much for me right now) to see people make fun of a movie that I can rent and make fun of myself.

So next they will be spoofing their own spoof movies right?

[INSERT GENRE HERE] MOVIE XX: A BRICKWORK OF LOOSELY-CONNECTED POP CULTURE REFERENCES DISGUISED AS PLOT THREADS WITH A POOP JOKE MORTAR

Come on. You know it's true.

I'm not gonna waste my hard-earned money on "Epic Movie", especially based on the trailer. Some of the jokes looked amusing, but honestly, a lot of it really didn't do it for me. The Superman joke was 100% predictable, and does SoaP really NEED to be parodied? It practically parodied itself.

Oh, right. In response to the original question - I don't think it's going to do very well unless it miraculously turns into the critics' darling. Most people that I've talked to hated "Date Movie", and "Scary Movie 4" wasn't that well-received by audiences either, if I recall. I think the general populace is realizing that the 'series' and its 'jokes' are wearing thin, and unless they actually crank out something genuinely funny and the critics rate it highly, then probably very few will really want to see it.

Thread merge! Boof!

The concept is awesome. I will probably rent it, because I know I would be wasting my money to see it in the theatres. Maybe I'll just download a copy of it so as to not cost myself anything. :/

If it's anything like Date Movie you'd be better off just waiting a year for it to come on TV. I can't stand to watch more than 15 minutes of that at a time, and even that much is a struggle. I was never a fan of the Scary Movie series either, but at least they were watchable.

The only thing that interests me about Epic Movie is how they plan to thinly connect all those movies together.

It's the idea of warping the original that catches me - I don't think I'll care much, if at all, about the storyline linking the spoofs. I'd just watch it for the spoof segments themselves. Like a string of dumb jokes.

And BAM, everyone went to the theater to find out and the piece of shit made its money back.

Um... What? Way to ignore the rest of my post where I said it's most likely going to be unwatchable shit. Morbid curiousity over how the shitpile will be constructed doesn't mean I actually care about the movie.

Well it was more of a generalization, since I imagine this curiosity will be a chief reason a lot of people will see it; hell, maybe the filmmakers were even banking on it.

Just watched this a little while ago. (It's out on DVD now) It wasn't too terribly bad. Of course I got the uncensored version.

It had some parts that made me laugh pretty hard, as well as some parts were painful, but I have to say that Darrel Hammond did a pretty damn good job of "Captain Jack Swallows"

Overall it's more or less what you'd expect from a knock off movie. Also, the outtakes are kinda funny.



It's worth a rent at least, that is if you like low brow humor and parodies.
