Was this supposed to be a comedy? I laughed the whole way through.


This is the best comedy I've seen all year. Seriously, I laughed my ass off the whole way through this horrible film. I'm actually going to buy the DVD because this piece of garbage is so flipping bad. 12/12/12 has everything that defines a craptastic movie! Horrible plot, laughable acting, and a script that my eleven year old daughter could have written.

The special features includes a "making of" documentary that's almost as awesome as the film. My girlfriend and I nearly died laughing at how serious the actors were when being interviewed. It's almost as they truly believed this was going to be a good movie. This is definitely worth watching if you need a good laugh!

My favorite was when a lady (never explained if she is a police officer or some sort of social services worker or what) looks for the baby commenting on how horrible it is looking in a field that essentially looks like someone's backyard. Not a downscale backyard, a posh fenced in backyard. The horror.

She finds the baby sitting in the middle of the field and, bending down, says something to the effect of "man you're one ugly baby, is that why your parents abandoned you?"

I almost died laughing-- and laughed even harder when the actress suddenly had an accent in the next scene that she didn't have to begin with...

As a horror movie, this film is a huge fail... as a comedy... I dunno, I laughed quite extensively. The question is whether or not the comedy was INTENDED... I sadly don't think it was, but hilarious nonetheless!

You just have to know the back story, those two were lesbian lovers. They met each other at a bar and the one chick was so drunk she just did a hilarious Jamaican accent all night. When they woke up next to each other the next morning the other lady got confused when, for a few seconds, that chick starts talking normal. She sort of remembers doing the accent the night before and plays it off as mocking an American accent. Now, whenever they're together she has to speak like a Jamaican.

Oh, man, that part where she finds the ugly baby sitting in the field, and so many other scenes as well, had me crying with laughter. It kept getting more and more ridiculous and just never let up. I had to replay parts of the ending because I could hardly believe what I was seeing/hearing. I've probably watched thousands of horror movies but this still confused me ... is it a brilliant parody of the genre or can it possibly be intended as a serious horror film? How does one rate a movie like this? It's either 10 or a 1 but I'm not sure which. One to remember in any case.

It's ok...we all laughed

This movie should be the definition of "horror comedy"! I've seen many and they were neither funny or horrific. This movie though was a downright hoot. If the creators were going for a serious movie they failed. If they were going for a funny stab (no pun) at horror then they succeeded brilliantly!

It's best to watch this after a few drinks with some friends like I did. We were all laughing especially during the baby attacks.
