DVD Review

Epic Movie was penned by two of the six writers of the Scary Movie films (yes, it took that many people to write those jokes).

So, now the horror genre's been done and romcoms have been spoofed, it's time for the epics to have the Mickey taken out of them.

Just like most of the other spoof comedies, they run out of films from the targeted genre to lampoon so the likes of Borat, Snakes On A Plane and even more tenuous MTV Cribs and Punk'd are thrown in too. And Epic Movie takes as its core The Chronicles Of Narnia, a film that reached only a fraction of its intended audience.

In passing they encounter a camp pirate called Capt. Jack Swallow and fail to answer the question, how exactly do you parody a character as self-mocking as Johnny Depp's Keith Richards-influenced buccaneer? Others in their sights include an ageing Harry Potter.

If you want to disengage your brain and can derive laughs from jokes which are very, VERY silly indeed, look no further.
