Disaster Movie

About This Movie

So, 'Disaster Movie' (2008) is a pretty wild ride, if you're into parodies. Directed by Aaron Seltzer, it throws together a bunch of disaster tropes in a haphazard manner. The pacing is all over the place, which kind of fits the chaotic vibe. I mean, it’s like they took the biggest hits from that year and crammed them into one night. The practical effects are hit or miss, but you can tell they had some fun with it. Performances range from over-the-top to painfully bland, but that’s part of its charm—or lack thereof, depending on how you see it. It's distinctive for its unapologetic crudeness and casual references to pop culture, making it a curious piece in the late 2000s comedy landscape.

Released on DVD in 2008, unrated version available.Filmed in various locations in Los Angeles.Features appearances by recognizable parody actors.Runtime: 88 minutes; the pacing is intentionally erratic.
