Summary
Writer/director Craig Mazin (Scary Movie 3, 4, and (gulp) 5) grinds out yet another low-brow episode of Blockbuster Movies' Funniest Home Videos, cobbling together random scenes from hit films and inviting the audience to point and laugh, without ever actually managing to create new humor from parody or satire.
Comments
Superhero Movie has funny moments only because the superhero genre is self-parodying (a pastiche of clips from movies like Fantastic Four would accomplish the same thing) and because it has the compulsory cameo by Leslie Nielsen -- which only sadly reminds us, once again, how genuinely funny Airplane! and Police Squad! were. Includes a cameo by gossipmonger Perez Hilton for some reason.
