These two so called directors/ writers are tarnishing what is already a difficult medium within the film industry; comedy. Using sloppy, predictable and childish jokes on a low budget to rake in as much cash as they can is a disgrace considering how much damage they are causing to the image of comedy within Hollywood. It is a teaching children and teenagers a bad lesson that the class room jokes and funny at the time ideas they come up with are actually viable to get funding and public attention, losing credibility for film as an art form and making young film makers lose sight of the hard work needed to make it within the industry. Not to mention the unneeded childish spoofing that is causing damage to the franchises they are mocking. Such jokes are finely suited to television but to advertise this as a cinema event is just bad taste as it shows a great level of disrespect to the film makers who work hard to create the franchises these people are mocking. These films are replicating their hard work on a low budget and then doing nothing but disrespecting them with awful jokes. The artistry and work that go into these stories should not be copy and pasted into horrible un-inventive films that are made from the very same industry that made them. Would FIFA create a team of comic football players for peoples entertainment? No. So Hollywood should be more responsible in supporting the work of all studios and not showing such a level of immaturity in childishly spoofing and replicating good material with cheap and lazy values.

I really wish these two immature man children would stop making movies, how in the world do they get funding for this garbage?, they barely do any research for their "spoofs", it's just "hello I'm a character from a movie that came out this year goodbye" with tons of sex and toilet humor based jokes, the only things these idiots have every done that's worth while are Spy Hard and Scary Movie because they didn't write every joke.

I have to sign this because Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg make parodies of films that were bad ass like "Fast and the furious" the fast and furious movies were good even though the first one was directed by Rob Cohen (which he is awful) was still better. Why do they make spoofs on movies who were good? The hunger games series was good, their title "The starving games" was not clever. They made one good movie and that was "Scary movie" the first one. The scary movie parodies are old and the spoofs on apocalypse are too. Stop making comedies!!!!!!

It's now being clear to me that Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer are some of those film directing duos that just won't give up! They at first used to be good at it. But now, they're spewing out poorly-executed and unnecessary parody films after another, and you could only wish that they could just stop!

Their movies are garbage anyway. They're scum and should work at Chuck E. Cheese's instead. Go watch Kick Ass it's way better than their lame-ass movies.
