One example of a spoof that doesn't work on any level
18 June 2011
I do like comedy and I do like spoof movies, but when I saw Miss Cast Away online I found myself loathing every second of it. It is not as monstrous as the likes of Disaster Movie or Epic Movie, but it is a long way from being a Galaxy Quest or a Young Frankenstein.

The film does look cheap. The scenery is not striking and looks more like tacky studio sets, while the editing is rushed and the special effects are some of the worst I've seen in a while, and that is including the Jaws like shark.

As for the story, was there even a story? Seemed like a series of disconnected and witless scenes, and the basic idea was predictable and unoriginal. The humour was painful; the jokes are incredibly forced and timed really poorly while the writing and dialogue are insipid and unfunny.

The characters are clichéd and none of them are likable in any way. The direction is incompetent, the soundtrack is poorly used and the film is rushed in the pace and dull in how unfunny it all is. The acting is dreadful, the actresses are the epitome of all looks no talent, Eric Roberts phones in, Michael Jackson's appearance was both disturbing and useless and I don't know what Charlie Schlatter(who is a decent actor) was doing here.

Overall, awful and doesn't work on any level. 1/10 Bethany Cox
