The only thing I like about Spoof movies are the posters. They are actually clever visual representations of the movies they intend to spoof, paying solid tribute in mashing them all together in parody. I am a graphic designer, so I recognize the efforts made.
And thats where the respect ends. Now I won’t go all Perez Hilton and paste my opinions of the genre all over the poster and post it instead to make it more of a mockery. The poster is pretty good. I wish the genre would offer the same respect. But gone are the days where spoof movies are clever parodies, and instead are just a succession of scenes of people playing your favourite characters doing amped up loopy versions doing things very out of character. Nothing clever at all.
MTV Movies blog offers up the poster for their latest Wayans embarrassment, Dance Flick
Problem with these films is that they cost nothing, involve no imagination, actually work better if you hire shitty actors (which cost nothing) they don’t even have to try to be smart. I thought Not Another Teen movie had its moments but it was a glimmer of hope in a sea of diarrhea. Bottom line is that you retards keep BUYING TICKETS. Worst movies ever and they still make money. Idiocracy here we come!
Now I do love a good dance movie. The plot can suck, the story can be weak, but it entertains the crap out of me if the dancing is good. I don’t care much for the Krunking or whatever the hell you whippersnappers call that non-rhythmic spasmodic twitches to angry rap music. But all it takes is some plot of mixing traditional dance with new moves to win a contest to save the school/arts center/orphanage and I am renting that puppy for sure.
This however is NOT that. This will be gags poked at people dancing poorly thinking they are doing it right, while they make gags about brushing someone’s hair with a penis. Oh, and at some point a girl will fart.
@Rodney
Dude, you can’t take a joke? Of course I know that, but i fucking hate it that these movies are still being made.
As are we all.
I am pretty sure that these movies have nothing to do with the affect of peace on this crazy world.
Just don’t buy a ticket. They keep making them because retards keep lining up for them. If people stopped going, they wouldnt make money and studios would say no to spoof filmmakers.
Will the insanity ever end? CAN’T THESE MOVIES JUST BE OBLITERATED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH SO WE CAN HAVE AT LEAST SOME FUCKING PEACE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD?!
@Jon, we are not advertising anything. It’s discussion.
Is it advertising the rain if we talk about the weather? Will it change how the rain comes?
The bottom line is ticket sales, and if I talk about this crap genre or not, they still put the movie in theaters and people will go. THAT is why they make more. Not because I talk about it.
I like classic spoof movies like Airplane, Hot Shot, Naked Gun and even Scary Movie 1 and 2 (yes, they hv their moments), because they’ve done their gags right. But it’s not there anymore lately, and it’s going weary and taste like a stale beer. What next? God forbid, they’re gonna spoofing the best porn movies outthere! (if there are any). This genre really going down to the heap of crap on the side of the road.
Sent too soon! Whether you hate it or not, these movies do not deserve any amount of advertising!
Honestly, you have to stop promoting this garbage!
i know that, its just im tired of Parody movies, atleast the bad ones
@Aaron, “i see they stole from atleast 3 movies in the poster”
And??? Its a parody spoof movie … they HAVE to steal from other movies in order to make a spoof of the movies. That is the point.
Liendra, clearly you know nothing about design.
But that poster is the best part of these movies.
so do I Liendre
Hey Rodney, if you realy are a graphic designer, you should cut your balls off.. “The poster is pretty good”.. come on, i do believe that poster was made by a monkey..
lol i meant 20$ M
they need to stop making this shit! i see they stole from atleast 3 movies in the poster.
uh…step up, Disaster Movie (forgive me but i saw that pile of garbage), and hairspray. This is another Parody that will gross probably 20$ in it’s lifetime gross. Ughh…this garbage makes me sick
leave no genre unturned. I dont mind these screwball spoof comedies. I just wish they had funny material.
I miss the old days of movie paroidies that were good and made you laugh. Gone are the days of “Space Balls”, “Robin Hood Men in Tights”, “Repossesed”, and “Air Plane”. Why must Hollywood keep making shit movies like this. God these new parody films make me wanna choke myself with a cordless phone.
the wayans may infuse some comedic legitimacy and have at least scary movie 1-2 calibre spoofiness
Christ.
There is apparently a Spoof Spoof movie in the works with Chevy Chase and Burt Reynolds. I hope they expose the spoof genre for what it has become and do as Mr Chris implies above. Bring in serious comedic actors who know how to be funny.
And get a decent script that doesnt revolve its gags around gay jokes and potty humour.
Watch Mel Brooks, or Hot Shots, or Airplane and Top Secret… THOSE are spoof movies. Funny and genuine!
After this i heard Sci Fi Movie was up next and Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are rumored to do another so called spoof movie called Spy Movie.
The spoof genre is one of my favorites, so I still want these movie being made – I just want them to be good. I like the Wayans’ style, and even their worst movies have entertained me, so unless they’re taking a cue from Assburg and Shitzer, this stands some hope of being watchable (for anyone who likes potty humor anyway.)
I dislike the whole idea of bringing in bad actors for these roles however. That’s like shoveling shit into a shit-making machine. Spoofs were at their best when they brought in serious actors like Leslie Nelson and Lloyd Bridges to quote all those ridiculous lines. Probably why I enjoyed “Walk Hard” so much.
Actually, I’d rather not even think of modern spoofs as “spoof movies.” Unless there’s some semblance of a story and the jokes can stand the test of time and not require us to remember a random flash-in-the-pan movie from 2003, they’re “dated popular culture reference movies.”
@Slushie Man
It doesn’t matter it still a spoof movie…
The only spoof movies that I liked were Walk Hard and Airplane. Those are the only two spoofs that made me laugh out loud. The Wayans Brothers’ Scary Movie 1 & 2 had its moments, but Little Man was an abomination.
@ Broly – I was talking about all the ___ Movie movies.
@ Rodney – I was talking about about the people in the comment section that are blaming them for the ___ Movie movies up above.
WTF!?!! Their’s a baby in the middle of the poster, i didn’t even notice that.
I didn’t claim that the Wayans did all the spoof movies Slushie… just that this is yet another embarrassment for them. They haven’t had a good funny movie in a long time. The first Scary movie was alright but they tipped the scales the wrong way in 2 and it all went down hill after that with others hopping on the feces bandwagon.
@Slushie Man
That’s not true the Waynes Brothers also did Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood…
I do find Scary movie 1 & 2 kinda funny i think they have thier moments, mainly ones involving shorty lol but yeah the Wayans only did SM 1&2 so they can’t take all the blame for those other sucky parodies. On the other hand they did give us White Chicks and Little Man…
You guys do realize that the Waynes Brothers only did Scary Movie 1 and 2, right? All the other parody movies were by another group of people and the Waynes brothers had nothing to do with them, right?
Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, all those movies were made by completely different people.
keep in mind though gang that the wayans brother’s “Scary movies” were actually pretty good… than they left the biz and people attempted to.. but missed the toilet big time.. and what was left? —- Shit everywhere!
I already get the joke that this film is saying, just from the poster, and am spared two hours of padding with pathetic bodily fluid jokes and obvious pop culture references.
No guys, don’t you see? They are getting more and more clever! Instead of Dance Movie, they called it Dance FLICK! Booyah! [/sarcasm]
airplane and shaun of the dead seem like an eternity ago
@rodney and anyone posting news up- how about this:
we completely ignore spoof movies. any news that comes out about spoof movies WE IGNORE. we never ever SAY the words “spoof movie” or talk about any of the scenes. all movie websites just pretend they never exsisted to show how horrible they are and how we think theyre not considered movies. and then everyone here agrees to never watch them and to spread the word. if we do this it will be the first step towards killing these movies.
quoting the 2nd best spoof movie ever:
hows THAT for a slice of fried gold!?
Yeah i thougt it couldn’t get any worse then Meet the Spartans until Disaster Movie shown up, words can NOT express how BAD that shit was…
I did enjoy Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood tho.
I will give them credit for Scary Movie 1 because it was funny but it started a horrible trend. This poster almost looks like a spoof of a spoof.
Oh it can… there is no bottom to this dark barrel known as the spoof genre. It seems the more retarded they get, the more money they make.
I am sure the Wayans are giggling with glee with their effortless fart movies while they swim in cash. The mindless masses flock.
Well it CAN’T get any worse then Disaster Movie.
