This is not comedy...

This is people dressing up as characters from recent movies so they can put them all in the poster, where morons will walk past and say "Oh my God this is hilarious! They got all these movie characters in there, but it's making fun of them! Hahahaha! I'm gonna pay money to watch this s###!"
These movies can't even stick to the theme anymore, most of the stolen characters in this are not related to the "Disaster" genre. They should just call it Parody Movie, that would be a more honest title.
I can't believe how easy it is to get movies made in hollywood, you don't even need to have talent, you just need to know the right people. These movies are proof of this.

I saw this in theaters with my friends when we were freshmen; we all hated it.

I'm not surprised. I haven't even seen this movie and I hate it.

So, you haven't seen this movie, but you hate it?

Talk about disingenuous. This movie is actually the best film made in the last ten years. Each scene has phenomenal imagery, and invokes themes of Dadaism, especially with the heavy anti-war themes.

The only reason critic hate this film is because they're rich, republican warmongers.

"This movie is actually the best film made in the last ten years"

The 1.9 rating on imdb tells you that you are wrong.

Wanna see a funnier parody type movie? Try Year One, it's also very goofy but much funnier than this crap IMO. Here's a small preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyShuAH3mfA

These films are what they refer to on TV Tropes as Narrow Parody and Shallow Parody, occasionally crossing over into Redundant Parody.

This and unfortunately, these shitty movies are making money... Well at least they did.

This truly was not funny. At all. And I actually liked most of the 'Scary' movies as well as 'Date Movie' (which many people hated). This truly was a disaster.

These two idiots think that references are jokes, they aren’t, they are just references. And seriously the movies they reference don’t even make sense, they aren’t “disaster movies”, they are just whatever was even remotely relevant in 2008. Hell they attempt to spoof the Love Guru which won the Razzie for Worst Picture that year.
