47. Epic Movie (2007)

Starring: Kal Penn, Faune A. Chambers, Adam Campbell, Jayma Mays

Directed by: Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer

Satirical films were widely popular during the 2000s and the entire decade saw a surplus of satire films. Some of these films achieved success while others did not – one of which is the 2007 film Epic Movie. This movie earns the 47th spot on Rotten Tomatoes’ Worst Movies of All Time list. The film features acting credits from Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, Jayma Mays, and Faune A. Chambers. It revolves around four adult orphans who experience scenes from blockbuster and fantasy movies such as a realm with a lion and a witch and a familiar chocolate factory. You probably know where these scenes came from, but they’re not exactly the same – expect a weird twist.

The screenwriters of this film also had prior success with the Scary Movie franchise; however, their previous experience didn’t translate into success in this film. Critics remark that the Epic Movie is a crude comedy that does not have anything new or insightful to say about the different subjects that it satirizes. It’s definitely one parody/satire movie from the 2000s that’s worth forgetting.
