A dumb, dumb film, to be sure, but also undeniably funny in more spots than a right-thinking, mature adult person feels comfortable admitting.

Synopsis: Jason Friedberg and Adam Seltzer--the two guys who did EPIC MOVIE, DATE MOVIE, SCARY MOVIE, and MEET THE SPARTANS--bring you DISASTER MOVIE, a compendium of gross-out gags and reference-check quasi-satire bits aping THE INCREDIBLE... [More]

Reviews for Disaster Movie
Top Critic
Honestly, if the makers of this ever got serious about making web-based comedy, I reckon that they would absolutely rock it.

Top Critic Since they have so little material to work with in the first place, Friedberg and Seltzer flog each joke well beyond its limits.
10/03/08
Top Critic A woman a few rows in front of me at the preview chose to write 20 minutes worth of text messages, rather than watch the movie. Even though she was not paying, the price was clearly too high.

Top Critic If Judd Apatow is the Jesus of modern comedy, Seltzer and Friedberg are the Anti-Christ - and sadly just as prolific
09/11/08
Top Critic The "jokes" are limp and pathetic or stillborn, timing is ignored, performances are a not-so-giddy mug-fest. Audiences are left wondering when the freshman cast is going to learn the rudiments of performing.

Pointlessly rancid and redundant...Hopefully, Disaster Movie will indeed vanish as quickly as a three-second burp at a chili-eating contest.

leaves one with a feeling of failure -- and the knowledge that, come this spring, these idiots will more than likely be back

Why challenge yourself when you can have your Juno stand-in end a fight by lactating on the "Sex and the City" girls? Nope, a better question is why did I subject myself to this movie?

I want to say thanks again and thanks for proving that dumb movies pretending to be comedy will not stand any longer...

It's hard to put into words just how excruciatingly painful it is to watch Disaster Movie, but let's just say it will make you appreciate those dreadful experiences in your life like, say, going to the dentist or waiting in line at the DMV.
09/05/08
Disaster Movie is not, as you might have guessed, a parody of disaster movies. But it is a disaster.
09/05/08
Irrelevant, never-funny references to everything from Juno to American Gladiators
09/05/08
Disaster Movie is lazily written, insulting rubbish and it's unquestionably one of the worst films of the year. Avoid like your life depended on it.
09/05/08
Of Disaster Movie it is difficult to speak, or even think, articulately, a handicap that seems to have afflicted the film’s makers.
09/05/08
Personally, The Sneak would like to place Friedberg and Seltzer on a blazing upside-down boat which is about to be hit by a meteorite.
09/05/08
Not a comedy, more a medical affliction, Disaster Movie’s symptoms include apathy, regret and eventual despair.
