The Starving Games
1st Trailer
Person of Interest: Extensive (yet horrible) parodies of The Hunger Games, The Avengers, The Expendables, Avatar, Angry Birds, Taylor Swift, PSY, plus a Starbucks tattoo and a copy of 50 Shades of Grey.
Scene Pop: The god-awful Angry Birds joke.
Briggs Breakdown: 2 cases of butt trauma, 2 outdated gay jokes, and a slew of very loud groan-inducing pop culture "jokes".
Effective?: NO!
Check it Out?: HELL NO!! Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have been a thorn in the side of comedy film, help leading the genre into the toilet. This is supposed to be another easy-bait spoof like 2010's Vampires Suck but people when to see that crapfest because there was much hatred for the Twilight franchise. The Hunger Games series is much more respected and better received, including the first film, which later even made my top ten of last year. Thankfully, as evident in the trailer footage, the duo's standard film budget took a major nosedive; it legitimately looks like a YouTube parody, shot on dad's digital camera and filmed in the forest behind their house.
