Epic Movie

Rent & Buy
When the Pevensie siblings each follow their own path, they find themselves at Willy's Chocolate Factory. Walking through a wardrobe, they discover the world of Gnarnia, ruled by the White Bitch. Meeting up with characters such as Harry Potter and Captain Jack Swallows, the newly reunited family must team up with Aslo, a wise-but-horny lion to stop the White Bitch's army.
What critics thought
One of the most comprehensively panned films of its era, Epic Movie left critics nearly unanimous in their contempt — not merely unfunny but aggressively witless, a scattershot parade of pop-culture references that never coalesces into actual satire. The rare dissenter acknowledged a coarse joke landing here and there, but even that faint praise came wrapped in overall disgust.
“irreverent and also appreciative, dragging its satiric prey down to the lowest pop-cultural denominator”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“only a complete idiot could think Epic Movie is remotely funny or worth making at all”
Mick LaSalle·San Francisco Chronicle
“There's very little that's epic about this senseless parody, but then there's very little that's funny about it, either... It's mind-numbingly, tediously unamusing and is so devoid of imagination it even parodies self-mocking films”
Radio Times
“Epic Movie is an epic catastrophe, or an artistic failure of epic proportions, or even an Emetic Piece of Insufferable Crap”
John Patterson·The Guardian
