I count myself among the few, the proud, and the lucky who have never seen any of the recent Jason Friedberg/Aaron Seltzer productions (the men behind Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, so on and so forth), primarily because I don’t feel the need to. I know exactly what’s going to happen once I’ve seen the trailer, and I have as much understanding of the parodied subjects as the writers and directors (most of the referenced films have not even been released when the scripts are written). The problem, by and large, seems to be that they have no real understanding of what they’re parodying, and just slap together the basest resemblance of a narrative to string them together. I’m guessing. I haven’t actually seen them.
"Repossessed" is on sale April 14, 2009 and is rated PG13. Comedy. Written and directed by Bob Logan. Starring Anthony Starke, Leslie Nielsen, Linda Blair, Ned Beatty.
