    I would like to praise My Big Fat Independent Movie for achieving something that most independently-produced comedies fail to do: it creates laughs.

    Has a knowing, insider quality that could generate a modest cult following.

    It might have looked good on paper, but the results are mixed at best; despite a few early chuckles, the whole thing gets tired after 20 minutes.

    A big fast bust.

    Painfully unfunny spoof.

    The juvenile gags seem aimed at moviegoers who hate the whole idea of independent/art/foreign-language films and the stuck-up eggheads who like them -- so what's the point?

    Feels motivated by envy more than anything else-it's a sour, petty act of mockery that values its own ineptitude over genuine cleverness, travestying Quentin Tarantino and others simply for dreaming up gimmicks that worked.

    I've never sat through a comedy and been so stone faced the entire time. Weak joke after weak joke. Don't bother with this.

    I couldn't give it a zero because it had atleast one funny bit but the rest of the movie was a waste of time.

    Horrible rip-off of the far superior "Scary Movie."
