    Epic Movie is just timely enough to conclude with a wink and a nod to Borat. I only wish that it had been bold enough to go Borat on HIM.

    The real problem with Epic Movie is that while it does a decent job imitating films, it never bothers to make fun of or have fun with them, which is what Friedberg and Seltzer did so well with "Scary Movie."

    The cinematic equivalent of a tapeworm, this delivers few laughs beyond the initial chuckles of recognition. Seltzer and Friedberg (who also directed) have another script in development called "Raunchy Movie"; apparently one idea they haven't yet considered is "Watchable Movie."

    If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, big studio Hollywood hitmakers should consider themselves lauded to the max in Jason Friedberg and Aaron Selzer's Epic Movie, the latest (and epically unfunny) entry in the movie parody franchise.

    I will be honest this is only good if you watch it for the first time and are in a good mood or if you are really bored. However, there are some extremely funny moments in this film that are hard not to laugh at.… Expand

    Quite obviously other critics despite the odd few have a sense of humor, although Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer may not have a complete grasp on what you should and shouldn't spoof, this film still grabs epic films by the nec and chokes the life out of them metaphorically. they should have lost the Borat spoof as there is not another man in the world that can impersonate Borat and spoof him at the same time. All in all a very funny film. Jack Swallows is the best character there.… Expand

    Seltzerberg are the worse directors ever. As bad as they are, at least Ed Wood films have camp value and Uwe Boll made Rampage.

    Seltzerberg,     Epic Movie including, has no redeeming value whatsoever. Words can't describe the horrible abomination that is Epic Movie.… Expand
