10 Excruciatingly Bad Films You Should Die Before You See
2. Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie is another would-be parody from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (Date Movie, Vampires Suck, Meet The Spartans etc.) who the Austin Chronicle called "a danger to our culture, a typhoon-sized natural disaster disguised as a filmmaking team, a Hollywood monster wreaking havoc on the minds of America’s youth and setting civilization back a thousand years.”
An endless succession of references to 2008’s movies, TV shows and celebrities, Disaster Movie gives us 10,000 BC, Gladiators and Amy Winehouse ‘jokes’ before moving on to the likes of Juno, Superbad, Wanted, Hancock, Enchanted etc. Friedberg and Seltzer don’t actually satirize anything, they just reward their MTV-saturated, junk food-munching demographic for their pop culture knowledge.
Their films aren’t meant to be viewed by anyone out of their late teens which, given the level of wit on display, is just as well. If you can’t mock Hanna Montana or Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, get a day job.
