How Far Did You Get?


I knew I had to see this movie after hearing how bad it was. I made it about halfway through the sweet sixteen party and I absolutely couldn't go any further (consequently, I barely made it through the opening titles of Date Movie). Can anyone else beat this?

I just switched to BrightHouse and got Showtime & Movie Channel free for 2 years...and this HAPPENED to be playing on my 1st day with Sho...so I decided to at least take a peek despite Friedberg & Seltzer's name on it...I made it from the UNFUNNY scene with the "crushed" Miley Cyrus that went on WAAAAAAY too long to be funny, to the UNFUNNY demented Alvin & the Chipmunks scene & felt myself getting stupider by the second...so I changed the channel!

I got to the scene with that Amy Winehouse clone burping. Then I tried to skip a bit forward, but my laptop wouldn't let me, probably tried to protect me. Thank God I didn't waste much of my time with it ...

I was forced to watch this at school, and even then after half an hour most of the class wanted it off but a few people put up a fight and forced us to keep watching. We watched another half an hour before everyone had had enough. 1 hour of my life I will never get back

When they got to the warehouse place, then I turned it off and watched The French Connection.

In my third attempt to watch this movie, I had to stop when the chick from Enchanted showed up. I have a splitting headache now...
Yes, it was my third attempt, because apparently I want my brain to explode, by always going back to see how much I can take of this piece of ish.

Lol same here. Tuned out halfway through the sweet sixteen party. It was like trying to endure torture...

the whole thing even thought it was dump the actors are good

15 minutes. It's on tv right now and I thought I'd have to see a bit of it, just to see if it really is that bad. It really is that bad. Not "so bad it's good" not "car crash tv that you can't turn away from", just plain awful. Didn't even raise the slightest bit of a smile.

Half an hour - just to see if it was as bad as legend has it. It was! The 'plot' is the most random thing I have ever seen - supposed spoof characters just turn up from nowhere (Hellboy, what was that about?) while the main characters just stand there and make dumb faces. A movie is on really shaky ground when the characters have to constantly yell: "It's Miley Cyrus!" "It's Justin Timerlake!" "It's Caligula, feared Emperor of Rome!" etc to ram home just who the impersonated personages were (and just as well as they neither looked or sounded anything like them). The makers must have had some hold over the studio, it is the only rational explanation for how such a thing could be.

Look into my eyes it's easy to see, one and one make two, two and one make three, it's destiny.

reply

Did you also watch it on Viva, Satanues666?
I am about half way through (Recorded it) not funny to be honest

reply

Viva, psdhart. I came upon it by accident and decided to give it a shot. Not good at all.

I got up to the part where they did another movie about genres and then I cursed the world for letting something like this be funded when people with real ideas, blood, sweat and tears have to be told "I think we're gonna pass" by the establishment that is the movie industry. Then I went out and got a Canon 5D camera and shot a full length feature film along with every other hack in NYC and was told that I couldn't get into any of the major festivals because no one was going to watch my movie if I didn't have a star in it. So, then I started my own film festival and realized that it would be a conflict of interest if I put my film in it. So, I decided to go back to watching mind-numbing "comedies" like Disaster Movie. It was then I realized I was in the Matrix.

reply

The electricity generated by the anger on seeing this film powers the Matrix! gil-168, you have broken through the illusion! That explains how films like 'Disaster Movie' get made - it could never happen in the real world.

I got to when Kim Kardashian gets hit by a meteor, right after the god-awful Sex and the City bit.

It took a LOT of effort to get that far, and being able to look at Kim was really the only way I could muddle through. Once she was gone, I hit delete.

It's astounding that this film was ever made.

reply

It's not really all that astounding. Look at the 12 year olds who "saw it, loved it, deal with it" on the first page. I know this sounds cynical, but teenagers are so damn stupid today. I don't know what it is, but something has spurned an anti-intellectual youth movement that's really powerful. They're proud of being willfully ignorant and having terrible taste. Whether it be vaunting the Jersey Shore retards to fame, Adele and LMFAO to the top of the charts, claiming to love "Jack and Jill". They think of everything in life as a chance to troll. They'll watch this just to come here and tell all us movie snobs they liked it so we'll flame them. But their either genuine and deeply ignorant enjoyment of it or their ironic enjoyment of it are why they keep getting made.

Lay off gramps! We're trying to contribute to society, but you won't let us. You're always so critical of things that don't meet your traditional and antiquated notions of what constitutes a film and what doesn't.

The truth is, these films have strong anti-war themes that are resonating with the youth, the very people that rich Republican film-critic war-mongers are trying to use as cannon fodder.
