Featured review
Movies like Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans, Scary Movie, and Date Movie are all parodies of other films, and they do a great job at it. If you plan to watch any of these movies, make sure you've seen the movies they're spoofing first. Only then can you truly enjoy them.
These parodies don't have their own original storylines, so understanding them without watching the original movies is tough. I'm tired of people giving these films bad reviews simply because they don't get the context. They're just bigger-budget parodies, and that's the whole point.
For Superhero Movie, for example, just watching Spider-Man should be enough since most of its story references that film. So, give these movies a chance and enjoy them for what they are. Hope this helps!
