It's a shame to see films that promise to parody the formulaic and over-constructed nature of "epic" films, but fail, and subsequently conform to what is now the "spoof" genre. In parodying said films, they merely reconstruct the setting (poorly) i.e. Willy Wonka's chocolate river becomes poo. The references to pop culture are 1: over used 2: Poorly used 3: Irrelevant and not funny. It appears that the budget was spent on midgets and a dance choreographer (apparently it is funny when medieval knights, pirates, dwarfs and oompa loompas dance). The narrative is infantile and not remotely funny, no imagination could possibly enjoy the pure nonsense of the characterization. Parody films are meant to parody and this one fails to come even close to funny, it irreverence is pathetic, not hilarious and the writers...well, where to start with them.
If you like watching pictures move and people talk, this film is probably for you. If you like films that are intelligent in their parody and genuinely funny, then stick to the Scary Movie catalogue. Even Date Movie was better than this…and that's saying something.
This film trades on the pretension that it will be funny…it is not, someone should report it to a fair trading body. I personally wonder what is more disturbing, that people would enjoy this movie, or that Hollywood thinks that people will enjoy it.

We knew this movie was going to suck... But my husband and I got to the theaters at a time that this movie was the only one playing within 30 min. of the time we arrived. So we knew what we were in for. It had a few chuckles...but was just boring most of the way through and got very old very quickly. But like I said, all these things were expected!

It was awful. It looked funny from the previews, but it was terrible and vulgar. They made jack sparrow look overweight and turned Willy Wonka into a pedopihle. First movie I thought about walking out of.

I thought it was great... Ok the story line wasn't the best and the acting was not oscar worthy but i went in with little expectation and i thought it was quite funny. That dude that played Jack Swallows was great

I haven't seen it yet , but if it's anything like Date Movie, it's a worthless piece of crap.
