Since they have so little material to work with in the first place, Friedberg and Seltzer flog each joke well beyond its limits.

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.

Reviews for Disaster Movie
Top CriticIf Judd Apatow is the Jesus of modern comedy, Seltzer and Friedberg are the Anti-Christ - and sadly just as prolific

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

Top CriticHonestly, if the makers of this ever got serious about making web-based comedy, I reckon that they would absolutely rock it.

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
Here's what they got right: The name of the movie. Disaster, indeed.
08/29/08
No one spoofed in the film -- yes, including Jessica Simpson -- is more worthy of derision than the people responsible for making it.
09/02/08
I half expected to see the spoof-making team in direct address, explaining the supremacy of the tentpole uber-alice, perhaps while backed by Emperor Palpatine.

I'm not sure if Disaster is the worst movie the boys have churned out, but, at this point, that's like asking if a bullet hurts more than a knife.
08/28/08
Anti-comedy. Anti-cinema. Anti-life.
09/05/08
I want to say thanks again and thanks for proving that dumb movies pretending to be comedy will not stand any longer...
09/05/08
Come on, pedophilia is funny and a Michael Jackson joke is never not timely, right? Wrong. It's not timely or funny.
08/28/08
Crude, dumb spoof isn't worth your time or money.
09/01/08
It's not even value for money if you're a moron.
09/05/08
Not a comedy, more a medical affliction, Disaster Movie’s symptoms include apathy, regret and eventual despair.
09/05/08
Surely even bovine American teenagers have to realise their intelligence is being insulted sooner or later.
09/05/08
As depressing and empty a cinematic experience as any other picture this year or last (or maybe the whole decade). To label it as simply unfunny or vacuous or ugly or boring would be a compliment.
08/29/08
So ugly, unpleasant and devoid of laughs that the notion of releasing a film with such a title on the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is actually one of the least offensive things about it.
08/29/08
Puerile beyond belief and a possible hazard to brain cells, the only thing this offensive dross gets right is the title.
