Fast becoming infamous as one of the worst films ever made, "Disaster Movie" is a loose....very loose spoof of the disaster film genre. Well, it's more of a reference point for pop culture of 2007/2008.
The (laughing uncontrollably) "story" focuses on a group of worthless, one dimensional heroes who band together to save the world from a mysterious apocalypse that has something to do with Batman, Indiana Jones, The Hulk, Sex and the City, Speed Racer and Alvin & the Chipmunks. We also get a whole LOT of tasteless jokes concerning boobs, near-naked people, sh**, and blood. What does ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH DISASTER MOVIES????!!!!!!!!!!!!! On top of all that, I find the humor directed towards women to be highly offensive and tasteless. What's funny about constantly referring to women as bitches? The cast is really hit and miss. Carmen Electra (the poor man's Leslie Nielsen) is very beautiful, but she has demonstrated a complete lack of acting talent. Nicole Parker is mildly amusing as Enchanted Princess but a little of it goes a long, looong, way. The rest of this miserable bunch is more or less the same.
So, is it all bad? Hell yes! But Tony Cox is amusing in a parody of Indiana Jones and the film is entertaining in a camp sort of way but other than that, this film is quite simply bad. So in the words of Siskel & Ebert thumbs down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down.
