Synopsis
Once upon a time there were four orphans who were going to get into trouble. One of them had been raised by the curator of the Louvres – where an albino assassin prowled, the second had been traumatized by the attack of snakes on his plane, the third had just left a school for mutants and the last was a refugee from the Mexican Free Wrestling…
When together, they visit a chocolate factory, they come across an enchanted cabinet which opens the way to the fabulous country of Gnarnia (the G is not pronounced). In these wondrous lands, they encounter a flamboyant island pirate, a gang of third-year magic students, and a majestic lion as wise as he is obsessed. All will join forces to try to put a mash to the terrifying Filth White.
In this specific case, would the fact that evil triumph really be a disaster?

The goal of “Big Movie” is to make you laugh! Just to make you laugh! And it doesn’t work! Parodying films like “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (what is poor Crispin Glover doing in this film?), “The Chronicles of Narnia” or “Pirates of the Caribbean”, this comedy is a distressing putrefaction of gray matter!

Curiosity can be a good quality, but also a very nasty flaw… In this case, it is unquestionably the second solution. Considered one of the worst films of the decade, this “Big Movie” has certainly not stolen its title and it intends to show it for 70 minutes of intense ordeal. Badly played, never funny and unspeakably vulgar, the whole thing appears as a sort of vast stress relief or…

Vulgar, dirty, scatological, heavy and above all failed… Big Movie is by far the most worthless of the American parody films of the 2000s and yet there was competition!

Example of gag rots: “The white witch” of Narnia parodied in “La pouffe blanche” and even “La pute blanche” in Quebec, do not look for the pun there is none! …

Scary, Sexy and Big!
Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, two of the six authors of the Scary Movie series, who have since directed Sexy movie, take the parody even further here. The second explains: “Before we had the idea to make fun of it, we loved these films. They inspired us!

Objective credibility!
Paul Schiff, the producer of Big Movie, explains: “Our main concern on this project was to be credible by making fun of huge films with astronomical budgets.
