After many extremely awful parodies, such as Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, and The Starving Games—finally the writing and directing duo, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, did something good. This time, while they parody The Fast and the Furious franchise, there is some kind of plot, actual funny lines and situations, a number of really nice ideas, and a conscience to review the downsides of its original. Well, late is better than never ! The script created plenty of lovable moments; like the scene of the plan's explanation, the running gag of misunderstanding the girlfriend's carriage, and the evil guy's anger towards his dumb henchman. Not to mention, it satirized the original's stereotypes as Rapper Cameo, Cool Asian Guy, and Model Turned Actress. And cleverly spoofed its leads' marks : Dwayne Johnson's muscles, Michelle Rodriguez's masculinity, and Paul Walker's idiotic aspect.But while it's surely less stupid than Friedberg & Seltzer's previous dogs, Superfast isn't wholly smart. It lacks cinematic craft, and sometimes lacks cinema itself. For obvious examples : Couple of scenes dragged to the edge of bore, the editing is heavy-handed in some places, and the direction is between lazy and nonexistent. It's a tangible problem in their previous work too, which assures that they don't have enough potential to direct.Over and above, few jokes were pretty old to be used (the foot that gets longer after being ran over by a car, keeping the skeleton of a dead guy.. ). The production was beyond poor; the movie looks made in one warehouse and one street. Save Dale Pavinski as Vin Diesel's caricature, Omar Chaparro as the laughably nervous evil guy, and the beautiful Lili Mirojnick—the cast consists of some actors with the least charisma and talent.Despite its foibles, this is surprisingly enjoyable comedy. I don't think that this has something to do with its PG-13 rating. Because Friedberg & Seltzer's 2013 movie, The Starving Games, was PG-13 as well, though crowded with blood, farts, and other sources of hideousness. I believe it has something to do with the way how they challenged themselves to accomplish a comedy that doesn't count on toilet humor, sex jokes, bad language, and free nudity (namely the easy filthiness and cheapness), while having – in the same time – the ambition of early classic parodies such as The Naked Gun series, in terms of coherence and visual comedy. Superfast is the first movie by Friedberg & Seltzer that could be watched more than once (or watched in the first place !). And after 15 years of ruthless flops, that's a historical achievement which the entire human race must learn from, and follow its example !

Netflix suggested this movie for me. Big points lost for Netflix.I saw one clip on IMDb, then I saw who made the movie, and needed no more information. Based on the clip, this movie (like all other pieces of garbage these two are somehow allowed to make) is 100% pointless, unfunny, unoriginal, and inept. Even making the movie with the idea "Oh let's just make a movie that's stupid and foolish for the sake of being stupid and foolish" misses by a long shot.The "comedy" in these movies is exceedingly lazy and obvious. I know there must be some kind of demand for this crap. I still find it hard to believe that someone could get paid anything (let alone whatever large amount was paid to make this movie) to simply take an arbitrary popular movie or genre, add nothing original, and put out an extremely lazy and unoriginal straight-to-DVD suckfest.Can someone pay me millions to make movies like this please? I have a ton of awesome ideas:Zombie Movie! - Kim Kardashian's butt is patient zero and turns Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Oprah, and Scooby Doo into zombies. The only way you can get past them undetected is to do the Macarena. OMG SO RANDOM RITE??Nature Movie! - Lebron James just completed the world's first slam dunk while backflipping frontwards from the 3pt line. Then *Insert celebrity* and he must *insert bodily function* their way up Mount Pointless to discover.... ugh nevermindSo, so, so, so stupid

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.
