I miss the good ole days of movie spoofs, lately they have gotten lamer and lamer, and just aren't funny at all

It's out. So is it bad or horrible?

It's out already? I guess you lose some press coverage when you don't screen it in advance for critics.

Well currently on Rotten Tomatoes it's at 4% fresh with one good review. A lot of critics probably won't ever review it since it'd be on their own dime. Some quotes:

It’s the sort of movie where "finger food" is offered at a party. And it’s fingers. Haw.​

You know a spoof is in trouble when it's not even as funny as its target. All three installment of the 'Twilight' series...offer more giggles than this excruciatingly prolonged public-access-cable-quality sketch.​

With Vampires Suck, the film is just as guilty as the vampires.​

If you've ever read a single book -- we'll include Stephenie Meyer -- you're probably better than this.​

Vampires Suck finds Friedberg-Seltzer evolving ever so slightly, but adequacy remains out of their grasp, and mediocrity might just be an impossible goal.​

This is the kind of film that is so bad that you almost wish that it had been shot in 3D simply so that you could just take your glasses off and not have to look at it anymore.​

Mocking 'Twilight' is like shooting fish in a barrel, and yet this lazy satire still misses the target.​

This is from the morons who brought us "Epic Movie," "Disaster Movie," and "Meet the Spartans." Do I need to explain myself anymore? Do I really?​

Whoa. Those are some harsh quotes. Still I think they're being too nice.

This movie made $18.6 million in five days. I think this is the sixth sign.

So my 13 year old daughter did indeed see this over the weekend and gave it rave reviews.. Her friend loved it as well.. As for me, I took my son to see Karate Kid again and we both enjoyed it quite a bit.

On a related note, there was a "Top 10 Spoof" movies show on Reelz Channel, in which Airplane took top nod.. I had no idea, until recently, that Airplane is very much a remake, not just a spoof, of a 1950's movie called Zero Hour.. On Youtube, there is a video that plays scenes from the original movie, followed by its counterpart from Airplane.. Really funny stuff. I'd link it, but I can't access Youtube at work at the moment.

cool ... I didn't know that. I always assumed Airplane was a spoof of Airport 1975, with that singling nun and all.

In retrospect, it's really amazing how they got away with pretty much copying the entire script for Zero Hour without crediting Arthur Hailey.

I recognized Annalise Vander Pol who was Chelsea in "That's So Raven" that's about it. Yeah people want to laugh and I guess this is the "comedy" they chose to go and laugh at. Personally I think it's a piece of garbage like most other spoof films (I did like the first two Scary Movies) and once you start making a franchise out of them well...you know you've got problems with the creativity.
