| Disaster Movie
steals inspiration from disaster, comedy and drama movies
that came before it. Disaster Movie swept me off my
feet by being possibly the most brilliant example of
comedic writing, of any medium, in the history of the
world.
Will (Matt Lanter) is planning his Sweet Sixteen Party,
when his girlfriend, Amy (Vanessa Minnillo), finally
gives up on him and leaves. During the party, asteroids
and earthquakes shake the building, driving Will and
his guests out into the street. His friend Calvin (G.
Thang) and his girlfriend Lisa (Kimberly Kardashian),
the ultra witty, very pregnant Juney (Crista Flanagan)
and he set off to get out of the city and find safety.
On their way out, Amy calls Will, begging for his help.
Will decides he will set off and save her, meeting all
manner of demented, distorted and horrific characters
along the way.
From the very beginning of the movie, which is a dream
sequence set in 10,0001 BC featuring a Wolf lookalike
from American Gladiators (Ike Barinholtz), an Amy Winehouse
lookalike (Nicole Parker) and a giant pile of mammoth
crap, I was utterly hooked. I am incapable of imagining
the comedic genius that went into creating Disaster
Movie.
I actually peed my pants seven times during the movie.
My panties moistened as breasts and butts were thrown
around the screen with reckless disregard. The urine
soaked through my undies whenever Juney spoke. My heart
(and my pants) were warmed with the joy of laughter
when not-Alvin and the Chipmunks come on screen. Carmen
Electra is my new hero. Prince Caspian came on screen
and I could barely hold myself together. It was an endless
stream of unrestrained waste expulsion.
The imaginative ingenuity, the talented wizardry, the
elative masterment and comedic brilliance of Disaster
Movie…., my stomach just turned, … oh man,
it’s not good…ok, ….ok, ….seriously,
I can’t keep it up. I can’t even choke down
my vomit enough to keep this joke going.
If someone were to ask me if they should see Disaster
Movie, I would tell them, “No.” If my child
told me they went to see Disaster Movie and liked it,
I would drown them in a puddle of my own uterine fluids.
If my husband, who wrote “Best Movie Ever”
in my notebook meant it, I would divorce him in a manner
that would leave him more female than male, more liquid
than solid, and quite a bit less human being than he
would be vapor. If the president suggested Disaster
Movie would be the solution to the world’s problems,
I would find the end of the world, or make one if the
end does not currently exist, and hurl myself, arms
tucked in, head shaved as aerodynamically as possible,
toward the sharpest rock I could find.
There is a semblance of plot in Disaster Movie but
only in the most general sense of the word. It constantly
goes off on tangents; deviations of several minutes
aren’t uncommon, lengthy non-related musical sequences
(some of which are actually pretty good), dream sequences
that add nothing to the movie, lookalike cameos for
lookalike cameo sake and monologues as entertaining
as dog shit on my carpet.
Disaster Movie would fail to satisfy a retarded, lobotomy
victim. Those owning even the tiniest amount of wit,
even republicans, will find Disaster Movie dangerous
to brain cells, and medical researchers may prove that
it is the cause of irritable bowel syndrome.
