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.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Alex ChunAdd Critic to Favorites

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."Read the full review

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

The humor is coarse and occasionally funny. The archly bombastic score, by Edward Sheamur, is the only thing you might call witty. But happily, Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard show up, as the White Bitch and Aslo the Lion, to add some easy, demented class.Read the full review

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.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Epic Movie is a waste of time. It's like a bad issue of "Cracked Magazine" come to life. It's not so much painful as it is sleep inducing.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael RechtshaffenAdd Critic to Favorites

A monumentally unfunny time-waster.Read the full review

The willful sloppiness and retrograde gags make Epic Movie, which was not shown to critics, an inevitable byproduct of our Internet video era.

That said, very little on YouTube is this unentertaining.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

Only a complete idiot could think Epic Movie is remotely funny.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

It's an ersatz comedy filled with unconvincing celebrity look-alikes and tone-deaf parodies. Only the desperation and cynicism feel authentic.Read the full review
