All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

As you have probably guessed by the title I would not consider this to be a film. Instead I shall refer to this as a Media File. This Media File is hands down the worst thing I have ever witnessed. This Media File has passed the point of being unbearable to watch, instead this broke new ground and was actually painful to watch. Every "Joke" every scene added to the pain of this experience. Your all probably wondering "Why is it so bad?" Well, let me tell you why. To start with, the writing in this Media File, is as expected, terrible, there is no semblance of character, theme, development or any other element of a screenplay that makes a Film what it is. Instead this is just a collection of dated pop culture references, tasteless humor and jokes so bad that even Adam Sandler wouldn't write them into his next Grown ups movie. The Cinematography is non existent, it was so horrendous that it physically hurt to see. I noticed streams of liquid going down my face at one point during the film, this is when I realized, I wasn't crying, instead my eyes had began to bleed. The acting in this movie was also trite, a third grade production of Hamlet would be better acted than this. My personal theory for the acting being this bad is, that they found people with serious mental issues, and cast them as the roles in this film. The directing goes without saying, it is horrendous. The director is possibly the reason all of these problems have occurred, unless everyone involved in this film is as mentally inept as the director. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are the directors and writers of this Media File. Unsurprisingly, their other film-making achievements include, Vampires Suck, Epic Movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans and the infamous Disaster Movie. I have seen only one of these films, that being Vampires Suck. I also did not like this movie, however it was infinitely better than this monstrosity. I would urge everybody to stay away from this Media File, avoid it like the plague, if I could rate this movie lower than one star, I would.

As a movie, this does not amount to much. The jokes are not all that hilarious, the acting is not all that brilliant, the plot is not all that engaging, the special effects are not all that terrific. But, it is not pretentious. It knows what it is, and does it relatively well. However, I would recommend it only if one does not have anything better to watch. In the final analysis, the truth is that this movie is significantly better than the original that it is spoofing. This is no big achievement, for just about anything would be better than that ridiculous piece of turd. The Starving Games inherits that ridiculousness - but that's part of the point of the movie.

I only watched a few minutes of this film, but it was just like a pile of poop. Oh wait that's an offense to a pile of poop. If you are a hunger games fan don't watch this film. It's sole purpose is to poke fun at the hunger games. I can tell it has positively no storyline, its completely random. I think it's supposed to be funny, but its not. Not only does it make fun of the hunger games, it makes fun of lord of the rings, the hobbit, harry potter, and much more. It's completely dumb. I think my one star rating is extremely generous. Even a zero star rating would be extremely generous. I have no possible way to express my anger at the doofuses who made this movie. What if people see this and think this is what the hunger games is like? The hunger games is pure genius!!! This is, well how do you put it, uh garbage.

What does one really expect regarding this kind of spoof outing? The Hunger Games is certainly an above-average target given how serious it takes itself. What's too bad in terms of the humor used in The Starving Games is the amount of low-brow fart/elimination/kick-to-the-nuts stuff that seems to show up in lowest-common-denominator humor. Yes, it's a bunch of sight gags, but many are fun and well-done. The leads are pretty/handsome and very well matched to the characters in the Hunger Games. I imagine this movie benefits from lots of beer with some amount of pizza...so you won't starve while watching this outing and a bit of judicious inebriation will certainly help elevate this movie.
