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.

Consensus: Returning to their seemingly bottomless well of flatulence humor, racial stereotypes, and stale pop culture gags, Friedberg and Seltzer have produced what is arguably their worst Movie yet.

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... [More]

Reviews for Disaster Movie
Top CriticHonestly, if the makers of this ever got serious about making web-based comedy, I reckon that they would absolutely rock it.
10/03/08
Top CriticIf Judd Apatow is the Jesus of modern comedy, Seltzer and Friedberg are the Anti-Christ - and sadly just as prolific
09/11/08
Top CriticSince 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 CriticA dumb, dumb film, to be sure, but also undeniably funny in more spots than a right-thinking, mature adult person feels comfortable admitting.
10/10/08
Top CriticIt's too easy to say Disaster Movie deserves its title, but why put more effort into trashing it than the filmmakers did into writing it?
08/29/08
The result is a series of extraneous, deplorably unfunny scenes and sketches stitched together in completely haphazard fashion.
09/05/08
Crude, dumb spoof isn't worth your time or money.
09/01/08
I checked, The Opposite of Funny Movie and Awful Film were available for titles, but Disaster Movie works absolutely perfect.
09/04/08
The Zucker/Abrahams movies were genuinely funny, at least some of the time. But this?
09/05/08
Top CriticNone of it is amusing, so there's probably enough suicide-inducing material here to make a send-up of The Happening redundant.
09/02/08
It's sad when a movie is so bad, it becomes the subject of late-night debates on whether it's better or worse than Uwe Boll's Postal.
08/29/08
Irrelevant, never-funny references to everything from Juno to American Gladiators
09/05/08
Consider the word 'putrid.' If I had an online personal dictionary, the films of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer would link to my definition of that word.
08/31/08
Insert "of a" between the two title words and you have my opinion of this film
09/03/08
Not a comedy, more a medical affliction, Disaster Movie’s symptoms include apathy, regret and eventual despair.
09/05/08
Like Hepatitis B, this is one of those movies you just hope will go away.
09/05/08
No one expects sophisticated wit from this type of movie, but would it be too much to ask for more than a chuckle every 10 minutes?
08/29/08
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.
10/13/08
Puerile beyond belief and a possible hazard to brain cells, the only thing this offensive dross gets right is the title.
