Why, oh why, is the spoof franchise that began with Scary Movie still churning 'em out?

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
Like Hepatitis B, this is one of those movies you just hope will go away.
09/05/08
Surely even bovine American teenagers have to realise their intelligence is being insulted sooner or later.
09/05/08
The Zucker/Abrahams movies were genuinely funny, at least some of the time. But this?
09/05/08
Top CriticIt could be the first great mainstream art experiment. Or, perhaps, since the opening word of dialogue is Shit!, the jokes are mostly about it, and the characters are regularly covered in it, it is more likely that the movie itself is just, well . . .
09/05/08
Top CriticAnti-comedy. Anti-cinema. Anti-life.
09/05/08
The result is a series of extraneous, deplorably unfunny scenes and sketches stitched together in completely haphazard fashion.
09/05/08
Puerile beyond belief and a possible hazard to brain cells, the only thing this offensive dross gets right is the title.
09/05/08
Top CriticI checked, The Opposite of Funny Movie and Awful Film were available for titles, but Disaster Movie works absolutely perfect.
09/04/08
By the time the disco-dancing, man-eating chipmunks turned up, my mind had turned to the weekend.
09/04/08
It's not the worst of the franchise, but it's dangerously close.
09/03/08
Insert "of a" between the two title words and you have my opinion of this film
09/03/08
Every time one of these Friedberg-Seltzer movies is released the sum total of human knowledge is reduced.
09/02/08
Rushed into production with no better drape for its threadbare gags than Cloverfield, this carpet-fouling mongrel of a movie no more deserves release than do anthrax spores.
09/02/08
Disaster Movie, the latest disposable parody of disposable Hollywood movies, has a shelf life of about five minutes, tops.
09/02/08
Top CriticWhy would you watch a bad movie about better movies, when you could just rent the originals instead?
09/02/08
Perhaps they'll eventually make one called Spoof Movie, which would brilliantly parody the genre by being consistently funny.
09/02/08
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
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
Since many of the targets (Cloverfield, Hancock, Kung Fu Panda) already have a cheeky self-consciousness, the comedy rarely seems more than a hasty patchwork of cheap-shot allusions.
