Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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.

"You know, we could run away from here. We could live someplace else."Why would someone want to spend 4 million dollars to produce a film like this? That's not even the right question I should be asking, it should be: Why did I actually waste my time in watching The Starving Games? I was simply skipping channels on my TV and this film was about to start so I decided to give it a go. Perhaps the adolescent teenager living inside of me would appreciate it. I'd seen Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg's other spoof films such as Vampires Suck and Meet the Spartans and I had hated both of them so I wasn't expecting anything different here. I don't know how they manage to do it, but their films seem to be getting worse when you'd think it would be an impossible achievement to go any lower. At least some of their prior films have a funny joke during the opening sequence, but this film falls flat for its entire runtime. There is no creativity whatsoever here and the jokes are all recycled. The spoof genre seems to have been dead for quite some time now and there is simply nothing entertaining about it. I can't think of the last time I actually enjoyed one, but having recently seen Dr. Strangelove my heart really sinks to how low we've fallen. This film tries to throw everything at you: the Expendables, the Avengers, Harry Potter, Oz, Avatar, and even Taylor Swift, but nothing about it is remotely funny. I won't even spend more time writing a full review because it's not even worth it. I just wanted to spend some time ranting about how films like this are given the green light and why some audiences might find this material funny, because I think a ten year old could come up with the ideas for the jokes in this film. http://estebueno10.blogspot.com/

I hate The Hunger Games for various reasons; I've read the books, seen the movies and have had many bonfires afterwards (the only things those books and movies are good for is landfill bait and kindling). It's an extremely overrated and frankly stupid waste of time to pay attention to, set up for the sheep to follow, so sooner or later a parody was bound to pop up. The Starving Games is one such parody, and don't get me wrong, it started out as hilarious, making fun of every bad part of the Hunger Games series (which was 99% of it). There was some swearing at first but nothing too crude, and I was laughing a hell of a lot throughout the first few minutes.Soon though, the sex jokes and fart jokes came up, and I'm not a prude but I hate crude humor. It's disgusting, vulgar, degrading and only appeals to the idiots in society, the people who find those "fail videos" on youtube with fat people falling over to be funny. As the movie went on the fart jokes just kept getting more and more frequent and a bunch of pervy sex jokes followed. A majority of the movie was spent with scenes such as cheerleaders dancing around wearing plastic funnels in their shirts, the two main parody characters having sex behind a picture of the president's face (only to have Gandalf and Hagrid from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter show up like perverts), people getting kicked in the crotch and a girl hallucinating about being a character from Avatar (another popular movie) and having sex. It just wasn't funny. I hate The Hunger Games but all those nasty jokes was going WAY too far.That being said, I liked how it made fun of a few other overrated trendy movies and internet videos in the background (someone should have done that a long time ago) and this parody had potential. I think if the production company tried again with some other movie and held back on the crude humor they could create something very funny if they tried.

This is way better than many other "parodies" of recent years. It doesn't make it the best and it doesn't even come close to the classics, but you could do worse than watching this. The obvious story line is that of Hunger Games that gets spoofed here. But there are occasional other movies thrown in for good measure (like Harry Potter to name but one of them).Some things might not work in a couple of years because it is based on current events, that's one major difference to something like "Airplane!". It would be unfair to set the standards that high though. So if you liked the Scary Movies (even the latter ones that lost a bit of their appeal), you will like this too. You might also like this if you didn't like the Hunger Games (another thing it doesn't have in common with the classics, but rather with new parodies, is not respecting the "source" material)
