Thankfully, at 90 minutes, EPIC MOVIE is anything but epic. Unfortunately, there is little else to be thankful for in Friedman and Seltzer's latest and most meagre lampoon. This series of spoof movies, which began just shy of promisingly with SCARY MOVIE, has become more rote and tired with each successive and inexplicably successful new entry. It seems the filmmakers have forgotten the purpose and technique of satirical parody. It is not merely to re-shoot a scene from a famous film with different actors, which is the order of the day here. Nor is it to insert a penis or an MTV reference into the frame every couple of minutes. Satire should have something to say and should be expressed both humorously and pointedly. This film is flat and its filmmakers seem speechless.
