Extreme Movie Movie Overview

ANOTHER ONE

[Sean P Kelly]

Extreme Movie (200 8)

Looks....different (i.e. I'm not sure if it's a spoof film)

Good news: It's not from those guys.
Bad news: People are gonna think it was. They're also gonna think it's about extreme sports, when it's actually an anthology of sex-com sketches.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[Tonberry2k]

It's not a satire if there's no underlying message.

[Sean P Kelly]

I just found out (through a poster in the movie theatre) that the Wayans are back in the genre (not that it's a good thing).

Dance Flick (2009)

One thing to note is that the film is directed by Damien Wayans, who is nephew to the Wayans Brothers (Shawn, Marlon, Keenon-Ivory, Damon, etc). This is a change from Keenon-Ivory being the usual director.

[Apiary Tazy]

Well, maybe it won't completley suck.....

[Greenmarioman]

It looks pretty good.

Except it has "flick" at the end instead of "movie."

[Calamity Panfan]

I doubt it'll be too much of a step up. What was the last movie that the Wayans worked on? Little Man?

[Laika Come Home]

The ideas are funny. The execution is poor.

The last good Wayans spoof movie was Don't Be A Menace to South Central.

[Bomby]

^ Even that ceased to be funny after the first 30 minutes.

[Sean P Kelly]

I saw the trailer and I think the film will be at least watchable (not that I'll see it).

I wrote about (and posted) the trailer in my blog: Sean Kelly on Movies: Trailer Thoughts: Dance Flick

[1-up Salesman]

Dance Flick? Meh, some of it looks pretty funny.
