Eye Candy #293 - "Disaster Movie"

Disaster Movie:  The latest in the interminable line of “____ Movie(s)”, which America isn’t clamoring for, from those Antichrists of Modern Cinema, director/screenwriter duo Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (and I use the words ‘screenwriter‘ and ‘director‘ loosely, so as not to imply either is legitimately that), who have done more to savage world opinion of Americans than George W Bush through a relentless string of lackluster cinematic hooey.  This is easily the worst, I mean, THE WORST turd in that particular pile.  In its efforts to be “hip”, it doesn’t even spoof full movies, it spoofs the TRAILERS of upcoming movies, because that’s all that was out when this script was spewed on to the page.  Utterly, completely, totally devoid of laughs, populated by the dregs of MadTV (the ones that can’t seem to get work elsewhere because they’re not actually funny) and of course, the ubiquitous Carmen Electra, who should finally realize that all we really wanted from her was for her to take her clothes off and be silent.  If I could give it negative stars, I would.  If I could buy every copy and destroy them so no one would have to see this film, I would.   It’s easily the worst comedy I‘ve ever seen.  It may be the worst film of all time.  We should be allowed to sue New Regency Pictures and Lionsgate for defective product liability for distributing this film and its ilk.   The one solitary bright note is that “Disaster Movie” did worse at the box office than its predecessors, so perhaps that wheels are finally off this particular hand basket. Woodchuck sez, “So bad, it‘s either offensive or criminal.”
