I, finally, saw "Dying Young". Wow, what a steaming pile of dog s#@t. It only avoids being Schumacher's worst film because "Batman & Robin" exists. Also, saw "Veronica Guerin", crap, but not as bad as Schumacher's other movies.

I used to love parody and satire movies, but all of them these days are beyond lame, not the least bit unique and they are filled with toilet humor that only a 12 year old boy would appreciate.  I love sports films so thought this movie would be a funny tribute to such films.  Boy was I wrong.  The writing was lame and the acting was terrible.  These people should do society a favor and never act again

IMHO, for satire to be really effective, the writers have to have the courage, and capability, of taking on something that deserves to be sliced down a notch or two. The reason that movies like The Comebacks and Epic Movie fail so miserably is that their targets are already, by and large, crap to begin with.

It's a little like trying to create a satirical parody demonstrating the monumental idiocy of George W. Bush. No matter how hard you try to slice the guy down, he is going to do something even stupider than your most vicious satirical slam within 48 hours.

Epic Movie is still the worst movie I've seen this year.

I was just about to post this same thought. The duo who made Date Movie and Epic Movie are at it again! I really want to go punch the person who keeps giving them funding.

Because the horrible Date Movie was almost totally ignored by the Razzies last year, I really hope that Epic Movie and The Comebacks dominate the Razzies this year (and 'Meet the Spartans' dominates next year).

Why is Hollywood is still allowing these crappy spoofs in the theater! And it gets worse next year, as more crappy spoofs are in the works, such as Date Movie 2 and Meet the Spartans (South Park and You-Tube already went through with those 300 spoofs). Both are being directed by Aaron "I suck" Selzter!

Wow, with all this talk about Hot Fuzz and David Lynch, this is starting to look like "The Reaping" thread.

To get back on topic, did anyone see this movie yet?

I saw Hot Fuzz and it was funnier than Shaun of the Dead. I love it but the reason is not because it was funny, but because it was a great buddy action flick.

It's "In The Valley Of Elah". "Inland Empire" was directed by David Lynch, and I have no f*cking idea what it's about. If anyone has seen it, they will know what I mean.

That's only because of Wesley Morris of the Boston Globe, the only movie critic, Cream of the Crop or otherwise, to give The Comebacks a positive review out of the fourteen movie critics who reviewed this movie so far.

The Cream of the Crop at RT nows says 17%, which makes it even higher than Epic Movie

Some people loved Inland Empire, others (like me and my parents) HATED it! It's impossible to follow...

This just in: this piece of crap had a 0% at RottenTomatoes. Entertainment Weekly better not give this a positive review. They're the sole reason "Epic Movie" isn't in 0% score (or, as I like to call it, Sgt. Tomatoe's Zero Score Band).
