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.
