It's not on the same level as earlier spoof movies like Airplane, or Hot Shots!, but it's much better than the other recent ones. I would put it on the same level as Scary Movie 3 and 4.
shareTo be honest, I preferred this over any of the Scary Movie entries. It was plagued by the Friedberg/Seltzer era, where "parodies" were dumbed down and completely destroyed by a lack of humor and nothing but pop-culture referencing without any hint of irony.
This one at least had a centralized focus, a centralized plot, and understood that you can't just rely on references.
I don't think it's particularly good, but I rented it and laughed a few times, which is more than I can say for any other "parody" to come out in the past 10 years.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
Reason being Friedberg/Seltzer had nothing to do with this one.
