Every time you buy a movie ticket or rent a video you are casting a vote telling Hollywood “That’s what I want.” Why does Hollywood continue to promote immoral programming? Are YOU part of the problem?
“Destroying the summer… one movie at a time.”

Negative - Rated PG-13. Parents, do not let your children, teenagers or otherwise, see this move. Extremely offensive and crude. Especially degrading to women. Various scenes included spraying breast milk in another's face, mocking abortion (made reference to an abortion using a coat hanger); yeast infections, looking under women's skirts, women wrestling/swearing, heavy drinking, pregnant woman break-dancing, and getting beaten, and her breasts fondled by another woman. All women scantily dressed (except the princess, who chews glass while here mouth bleeds, and walks in glass slippers while her feet bleed). I could go on and on. I've never seen anything like it. The director/producers of this movie depict women in the worst ways imaginable. Negative - This film should not have been rated PG-13—it, like other recent movies was under rated and should have been rated R since there is no rating in between PG-13 and R-17 too bad for that. The innuendos and sexual overtones were horrible. I left the theater along with the 4 children I brought, after only 30 minutes—this movie ranks right up there with “Scary Movie,” “Scary Movie 2,” “Don't Mess with the Zohan” and “Blades of Glory” (although “Blades of Glory” had some funny parts). I would like the MPAA to take a typical 11 or 13 year old to this movie and sit there with their head raised high, knowing they rated the movie correctly—it would be impossible to do! Negative - “Disaster Movie” is a horrid movie. Forget about anything offensive in it—it is just plain stupid. In fact, I'm not even going to say what's potentially offensive to Christians, because you shouldn't watch this movie, or let anyone you know watch this movie, no matter what's in it. It could be rated G and it would still be stupid. Comments from young people
Positive - Hilarious movie, if you've seen a lot of recent movies, you'll get all the gags. To say it's rated PG-13 there is a LOT of mild language, and some weird horror and mildly scary Alvin and the Chipmunks… For viewers to understand big chunks of the movie, they have to have seen a good few movies that are rated 18 and others that are rated R. It's all a big spoof, so without being super critical you'll enjoy all the jokes and mishaps of characters from various recent movies. Movie Critics
…Real disaster movies have more laughs than this spoof… A plethora of raunchy gags strain the PG-13 rating. …there is a lot of gay-oriented humor… One wonders how so many people could have toiled to produce so little. …Sex/Nudity: Extreme… Violence: Extreme… ‘Disaster Movie.’ The name says it all. Not since the Hindenberg has something crashed and burned as spectacularly as this film.… …barren, laughless spoofs.… …Desperately unfunny comedy that lurches clumsily from one tedious spoof scene to the next, under the mistaken impression that just referencing a film, a celebrity or a TV show is enough to get laughs.… …a product that, as far as I can see, exists to induce groans from the audience. Is this a goal? Paying $10.50 to groan at the poverty of a picture?… |
