Superfast is the latest comedy spoof from directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, whom brought up films such as Epic Movie, Date Movie and Meet the Spartans. Superfast appears to be beter than those films as this one has one main concept and isn't completely over the place. With these parody films, one can wonder as to what to expect.Although this film isn't as funny, it is actually quite entertaining and engaging. The cast portraying the Fast and the Furious actors do a solid job, especially the actor portraying Vin Diesel. Still, the film offers a lot of corny and miss fire jokes, but that was expected. Having little to no expectations, don't expect a masterpiece, just a film to pass time.

I'm gonna start off by saying that I will give every movie a chance even if I have a pretty good idea that they aren't that great. So I've given this movie fair chance and was surprisingly only mildly disappointed. After what I've seen from Friedberg and Seltzer I figured it was going to be an over the top ridiculous movie, and it was, but it's far from their worst parody movie. I think the reason their over-the-top style works better on this movie is because the F&F franchise is already ridiculous so it plays in decently with this parody. What I didn't like was some of the blatant attempts they were making in some scenes to be extremely stupid-funny when they had some better low-key (by comparison) comedy in some well placed spots in the movie. They also seem to think that when you drag a joke out that it gets funnier the longer the joke persists, which in my experience has never been the case. Overall they did an OK job on a parody of a series that I love, but because of their signature style of overdrawing and over emphasizing most of the jokes, they deserve a 4/10 at best for their effort in my eyes.

This is unquestionably the best parody movie I have seen. The acting was good, the humor was mostly slapstick exempt and with the 7+ movies to draw on, the plot line wasn't completely predictable. Grasping at various scenes from each of the films, this satirical take on the films did an admirable job blending them all and keeping a fresh storyline.Don't expect to see these actors in any upcoming films, their faces are bland, and their acting skills aren't anything unprecedented.Overall, if you're wanting to break up a Fast and Furious marathon, or not a fan of the franchise, give this film a chance (with the mindset that it is a parody) and you won't be disappointed- just don't bother with a theater viewing.

Friedberg and Seltzer have carved a niche writing and directing guilty pleasures – parodies of films and genres that audiences seem to enjoy and that earn money, but which attract scathing reviews by self-important critics who consider themselves guardians of public cinematic tastes and standards. At $20MM, "Superfast!" isn't exactly low-budget, except compared with the $190MM budget for "Furious 7." Much of the humor is low-brow, although perhaps not as low-brow as some of the humor in "Airplane!" It's more polished than typical direct-to-video fare, but lacks the polish of major theatrical releases. Compared with "Airplane!" the plot is more cohesive and less episodic, but that's a mixed blessing – some of the funniest bits in "Airplane!" (black coffee, pedophile pilot, wrong day to quit) didn't really propel the plot. The filmmakers cast relatively unknown actors who resemble the Fast & Furious actors they parody, remarkably well in some cases. The actors generally do an excellent job, even when given silly things to do and things to say. They seem committed to their roles and never wink at the camera. The movie is a series of ridiculous gags. It lacks subtlety. Character development is nonexistent. Transitions are nonsensical. Some of the jokes seem forced, while others aren't very funny. But a lot of the jokes work. Overall, the movie is hilarious. The jokes are cheap, unsophisticated, sophomoric and juvenile, but there are a lot of them. Perhaps too many of the characters are doofuses. Much of the humor seems deliberately constrained to target a teenage audience – they avoid raunchy jokes and one scene involving nudity is extensively blurred out when a Mike Myers/Austin Powers approach might have been much funnier. And much of the humor relies upon ridiculing the F&F franchise's ridiculous elements.The film makes no effort to be cerebral and succeeds famously.
