The Starving Games Review

Have you ever seen a movie and then afterwards you're actually angry? Unfortunately for me that happens a lot, especially with spoof movies. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are two directors and screen writers you may not have heard of, but you probably know some of their movies. They are the guys behind Date Movie, Epic Movie; Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, and Vampires Suck. If you don't know any of these movies let me sum them up for you, they're f*cking awful. I'm fairly sure these guys actually hold the record for most Razzie nominations. The last movies these guys put out was Vampires Suck which came out in 2010. Since then we haven't heard anything from them which is fine by me. But out of nowhere they release a new movie, and like their other movies it's still awful. The Starving Game is a spoof movie parodying The Hunger Games, the Avengers, the Expendables, Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, The Great and Powerful Oz, Harry Potter, Angry Birds, and Taylor Swift. Now I'm not going to go into the plot, it is just a stupid version of the Hunger Games. All you need to know is a girl named Kantmiss Evershot (I'm serious, that's the best they could do) who volunteers to represent her district in the starving games, a tournament where teens and children fight to the death. The only decent aspect of this movie is that you might get an occasional chick every once in a while (mostly at its own stupidity), every other aspect of this movie is as bad as you'd think. The writing, directing, acting, and production value are some of the worst you'll see this year. The movie is also short, there's only about 65 minutes of actual content. The last ten minutes are just a blooper role, it's obvious that the directors have no self respect but who actually ends their movie with a blooper real? To be honest there isn't a single reason to see this movie, there are a lot better ways you can spend your time. I just watched to give it a really bad review, mission accomplished. 

Pros: An occasional chuckle.
Cons: Terrible writing, directing, acting, and production value. It actually ends with a blooper real.

1/5 Stars
