Disaster Movie
a Flailing Free Fall Through Pop Culture
by Anonymous
“Disaster Movie,” the latest disposable parody
of disposable Hollywood movies, has a shelf
life of about five minutes, tops, which may
be slightly longer than it took to come
up with most of its’ gags.
Scribbled and slapped together by Jason
Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, this flailing free
fall through recent pop culture begins with
a parody of “10,000 B.C.” featuring “Amy
Winehouse” as a saber-toothed tiger who
pulls a crystal skull from her beehive hairdo.
It winds up with “Kung Fu Panda” (dude in
a furry suit) and “Beowulf” (naked dude who
keeps yelling, “I am Beowulf!”) running amok
through “Night at the Museum.”
and gastrointestinal dysfunction. And there
is a “Juno” figure who says things like “That is
so LL Not Cool J.”
Do you get it, Home Skillet? “Disaster
Movie” does little more than congratulate its
audience on recognizing the source of its riffs.
“High School Musical” — ha ha ha! But it does
manage a moment or two of chuckleworthy
dementia: in one scene Alvin and the
Chipmunk puppets appear out of nowhere for
a heavy-metal number under the influence
of rabies, then settle on Juno to feast on
her spine. “Disaster Movie” is rated PG-13
(Parents strongly cautioned).
