Epic Movie -OR- Epic Waste Of Money?

Yeah, the second one.

If you're wanting to indulge your taste for stupid-funny movies, you might be enticed to go see Epic Movie. The previews make it look pretty funny. "So Lame The Hair Of Tom?" I mean that's good stuff. And sure there are some funny parts...like how they don't even try to cover up the fact that the stunt doubles are in fact stunt doubles. But by about the sixth or seventh fight, it's kind of like they're just beating you over the head with it...using a blatant stunt double to do so, of course. And mostly it's just lame.

Conclusion: Not, I repeat, NOT worth $9.50 (effing city prices). It might be a dollar movie kind of movie. You know, like on Wednesdays when you can get in for 50 cents. And you don't mind wasting an hour and a half of your life.

(And don't try to tell me that "I just don't appreciate this type of movie." Because I am totally going to see Blades of Glory when it hits theaters. Will Ferrell as an ice dancer? Oh heck yes.)

Catch and Release?? That looks good! I had thought about adding Epic Movie to my Netflix(didn't want to spend one of my few movie outings on it), but thanks to your review, I think I'll pass. At least for now. Oh and I think you should check this out:
