There are now two distinct camps cranking out Movie parodies: Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedburg, who wrote the original Scary Movie (2000), have since directed the abysmal Date Movie and Epic Movie and the 300 parody Meet the Spartans. David Zucker, whose Airplane! (1980) more or less launched the genre, directed the last two Scary Movie entries and produced this feature-length goof on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. The gags are consistently weak, though actor Miles Fisher turns in a hair-raising impression of Tom Cruise. Craig Mazin directed; with Drake Bell, Sarah Paxton, Christopher McDonald, Leslie Nielsen, and Marion Ross. PG-13, 85 min.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Superhero Movie on Sunday, November 22.

This filim is a leperous scab on a herpetic sore on the mouth of comedy. One of the worst comedies made in years, (B.C. and A.D.). No redeeming qualities unless you are under the age of four, in which case there is unsuitable material that could stunt the more mature yet still fragile sense of humor of a toddler . It was a shame to see the Mom from Happy Days, Marion Ross, reduced to playing a role like the one she flatulates her way through in this film. Her 401k must have really tanked during last years Wall Street meltdown. The actor parodying Tom Cruise is the film's only saving grace, and he is only on for moments. If your idea of a fun evening is curling up to a chapter of Sara Palin's new "auto-biography", a frontal lobotomy, and some keelhauling in the nude, you'll love this film! Avoid, detour, develop a case of temporary hysterical blindness(and deafness), do not walk, run, run swiftly away from this film, lest it get something sticky and disgusting on you that won't wash off easily!
