Movie Review - My Big Fat Independent Movie
Where Scary Movie poked fun at horror films and Airplane! mocked disaster flicks, My Big Fat Independent Movie attempts to skewer a low-budget industry that has become a major business. Unfortunately, more often than not, the picture doesn't succeed, and part of the problem undoubtedly lies with the fact that most of the more than two dozen films that director Philip Zlotorynski, along with screenwriters Adam Schwartz and Chris Gore, attempted to ridicule actually were quite good. To their credit, they do uncover the formulaic approach that drives the industry -- that is, the arty abandonment of convention just for the sake of it -- but in doing so, they completely lose their focus. Simply put, spoofs are supposed to be funny, and My Big Fat Independent Movie is tediously humor-free. This is an excerpt.
