I rate films on how well I enjoy them and not on their quality. There were scenes which admittedly had me ROFL. The film does not only satire "The Hunger Games" but also satires other films as well as modern society, an aspect which I liked. The humor was indeed stupid and even crude at times. One line from the film about a past game:"No one could anticipate Oprah would eat all the other contestants."The speech given at the end by the Samuel L. Jackson character actor had me in tears. Maiara Walsh who played the star Kantmiss Evershot reminded me of Zooey Deschanel more than Jennifer Lawrence. The actual film is short as it has a sad 10 minute blooper reel at the end.I enjoyed the film, it reminded me of "Your Highness" minus some of the crudeness. Other films spoofed include, Oz, Potter, LOTR, Avatar, Avengers, Expendables, plus more.Parental Guide: No F-bombs, but does have a lot of adult language. Censored sex scene. Male streaker with rear nudity.

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.

This movie is dumb as hell, and some gags don't make sense and they aren't funny, but I actually think that it has some really funny moments. It's true that it's a bad movie, but there're some stupid although smart gags that made me laugh more than once, and I don't usually laugh with this type of absurd comedies. And I give it a 5 because they could done better acting, better special effects and more clever gags and exclude the nonsense gags. Also, as a movie, it's quite shitty. Maybe could work better as a free YouTube movie but I actually think that isn't as terrible as some people says. If you have a free evening you can pass some fun with it.

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.
