Twisters, asteroids, earthquakes and singer Amy Winehouse are just some of the perils they face while trying to make their way to safety.

Critics Consensus

Returning to their seemingly bottomless well of flatulence humor, racial stereotypes, and stale pop culture gags, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have produced what is arguably their worst Movie yet.

There's no nice way to say this, so I'll just say it: Writer/directors Friedberg and Seltzer are a scourge. They're a plague on our cinematic landscape, a national shame, a danger to our culture.

3.5/5

A dumb, dumb film, to be sure, but also undeniably funny in more spots than a right-thinking, mature adult person feels comfortable admitting.

A woman a few rows in front of me at the preview chose to write 20 minutes worth of text messages, rather than watch the movie. Even though she was not paying, the price was clearly too high.

Nothing more than a 90-minute barrage of unfunny jokes without the hindrance of a pesky plot or character development to get in the way.

Depressingly, these magpie parodies are so cheap to produce they can't fail to make money -- which probably means this interminable franchise is far from over.

The pomposity of big-budget B-movies can certainly be taken down a notch, but Friedberg and Seltzer rely too much on trailer moments for their broad comedy.

Sigh…..where do I start with this? Bad plot, really dated references, bad tasteless jokes, terrible screenplay, no dynamic between cast, confusing acts, and to top it off, this movie had no purpose to be made. I’m glad movies like these died fast because these are god awful even for a background movie, avoid this slop like the plague.

So uh this movie sucks, obviously, but I freaking love it. I don't know why but this probably one of my favorite movies mostly because of how stupid it was. While I wasn't in the right era to get most of the pop culture jokes I still got the basic idea. My favorite scenes might probably be the entire scene where Calvin fights Po from Kung Fu Panda, and the HeadOn parody. My least favorite scenes might be parts where the pacing was bad, like when the enchanted princess got hit with the car. I would probably not recommend this movie if you're level of stupidity is low but in my opinion, it's a good one.

Uma colagem de referências datadas que se torna incrivelmente chata e cansativa de assistir. A única coisa que realmente teve graça e que salva o filme do desastre absoluto é a paródia genial à Hannah Montana. Fora isso, é uma valente perda de tempo.

If I could give this movie half a star, I would this is the and I mean the worst film I’ve ever watched comedy is around -10. The characters where do I start with this? The characters are stupid mindless, and annoying. I’ve never been so miserable watching a film. but this somehow did it this made me not wanna watch a film ever again this is the worst comedy ever. Yes, I hate this more than Rise of Skywalker. I would give this movie zero stars in fact.
