A DISASTROUS MOVIE! And it's NO Dirty LITTLE SECRET!

Well, Lionsgate Films and Grovesnor Park have done it again! And this time ...

"I slaughtered this horse last Tuesday, and I think she's startin' to turn."

Okay, that line is from the movie 'Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?' but it has so much more redeeming value than ... "Meat and Stress" another mindless line in this movie, that could have been comedic genius ... if the producers and directors were not so intent on delivering another waste of supposed entertainment onto the American public ... much less a foreign market, and lets not talk about the incredible amount of money it took to create such a pile.

It continually amazes me that: with the tremendous comedic talents of Matt Lanter, Vanessa Minnillo, Nicole Parker, Crista Flanagan, Ike Barinholtz, Gary 'G-Thang' Johnson, Kim Kardashian, Tony Cox and even Carmen Electra ... that the film making team of Jason Friedberg and Aaroon Seltzer were able to come up with another pile of Mastadon Dung ...and investors gave them the money to keep piling it on, so people could fall face down into this steamy dish .

"Scary Movie," "Date Movie," "Epic Movie" and "Meet The Spartans" were touted as 'Hits' by more than a few, but I can hardly believe they would have turned a mega profit, much less a meager profit, considering the amount of time, effort and a Mammoth pile of money it took to produce such a poor quality project. Of course, a person can not really determine the true nature of a business deal ... when creative financing is involved.

To actually believe that "The Biggest and Most Bloated Movie Genres Of All Time" found an investor, can only mean that someone somewhere in Hollywood may be doing it as a 'Write Off' or at least in giving their stable of stars an opportunity in honing their skills.

There was a critic who stated: "This film making team puts its unique inimitable stamp on one of the biggest and most bloated movie genres of all time ..." and I would have to agree ... it really STINKS! Although he didn't mean it the way I just laid it out.

I personally wanted to get my popcorn and Coke-A-Cola money back, only because I didn't pay anything to sit through this flop, even though the woman with a cackling voice who sat behind me, found it hysterically funny.

Yes, I did chuckle a couple of times, but overall ... the movie was just so poorly crafted, I could do nothing but be dismayed that I was sitting through this tripe, watching some of my favorite Mad TV comedians lower themselves even beneath the heaping pile.

I know for a fact: This movie and movies like it ... can be as campy, but done with more of a finesse that would move the story along, without (me) trying to figure out what the story line was trying to get across ... aside from lampooning every blockbuster movie or pop culture icons, or even public figures they could squeeze into a hundred and twenty plus pages.

If these are the professionals who are crafting a product, and spending good money to do it ... do not tell me that I don't have the experience or talent to produce a movie! My twelve year grand kids can do better, if not any Ethiopian refugee who wants to be a filmmaker.

It was a 'Disaster Movie' and the enchanted princess couldn't have sprinkled enough dust to turn it into anything better, even if she were a fairy! If you want to attend a PG-13 flick for the crude sexual content, language, constant drug references and comic violence throughout this celluloid waste ... well this is your movie to plant that face of yours into that BIG OL' PILE of worthless STINK!
