Film Review: Epic Movie by Sophia Cynthia Cabral

Comedy
Release date: January 25, 2007
Companies involved: Regency Enterprises (presents), New Regency Pictures, Paul Schiff Productions, Twentieth Century Fox
Directed by: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer
Starring: Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, Jennifer Coolidge, Faune Chambers Watkins, Jayma Mays
Plot: A bunch of really different orphans gather on a magical trip to find more about themselves but end up in a mission against the evil ruler on-duty, as a family.
Review: Another great job by a masterful duet, it’s hooking from the start, the formula is still funny and actually kind of leaves the viewer wanting more and more. The fact that is put together in a funny yet clever way is a good point. For example Aslo’s scene where he makes a comment regarding how they missing one is yet another funny scene. I can’t get enough of it, actually going to re-watch it friends this week since it’s just too funny not to share. All in all I’d say it’s quite solid on character development and it never gets old. One of the downsides though is the fact that you can’t take the characters seriously at times but it’s a comedy so I can kind of understand it. -Sophia Cynthia Cabral
