The Starving Games
Adam Zacharias looks into parody film The Starving Games.
PARODY FILMMAKING DUO Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (Date Movie, Meet the Spartans) make an unwelcome return with The Starving Games, hoping to make a quick buck by riffing off the enormous success of The Hunger Games franchise.
Maiara Walsh plays Kantmiss Evershot, an expert archer in a dystopian future who is sent to risk her life in the annual ‘Starving Games’ contest – which offers prizes such as a discount sandwich coupon and a half-eaten pickle. Among those spoofed in the movie are Taylor Swift, Chuck Norris and Psy.
“Really, a movie as lame as this one doesn’t merit the expenditure of snark,” said Joe Leydon of Variety.
“The Starving Games has the look and feel of a talent show put on by a high school whose imminent closing has not inspired any noticeable public outcry,” said Peter Sobczynski of Rogerebert.com.
The Starving Games currently has a 0% rating on rottentomatoes.com and a 3.2/10 rating on imdb.com.
