Plot Summary: "Epic Movie" is a movie of,
well, epic proportions... we measured. The story centers on four not-so-young
orphans: one raised by a curator at the Louvre (where an albino assassin lurks),
another a refugee from Mexican "libre" wrestling, the third a recent victim of
snakes on her plane, and the fourth a "normal" resident of a mutant
"X"-community. The hapless quartet visits a chocolate factory, where they
stumble into an enchanted wardrobe that transports them to the land of Gnarnia
(with a "G"). There they meet a flamboyant pirate captain and earnest students
of wizardry – and join forces with, among others, a wise-but-horny lion to
defeat the evil White Bitch of Gnarnia.
DVD Review:
By dint of the inexplicable popularity of their send-up of movie
genres in the parody movies Scary Movie and Date Movie,
writer/director duo Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer probably got an epic-sized
bucket of cash for this hastily stitched pastiche of drive-by entertainment.
There's no particular variety of movie they were sent to send up this time,
unless big box-office grossers has now become a genre in and of itself...more
