Extreme Movie is not the worst of its genre. When I watched, I was expecting a terrible movie, along the lines of Disaster Movie and Epic Movie. To give this movie credit, it is not as bad as those two. However, it is still a dire movie. The title is a head-scratcher, I wasn't sure what it meant by extreme, if it meant the humour I'll understand but if it was something else, sorry I don't get it. The film is rather cheap to look at, while the direction is decidedly patchy. The acting is pretty terrible, not the worst I've seen, but nobody seems comfortable with their material. Frankie Muniz is bland, Ashley Schneider is all looks no acting talent, Jamie Kennedy is uncharismatic, Michael Cera tries hard- in all honesty he is the only actor seemingly who tries- but struggles with bad material while Matthew Lillard is pointless. The biggest failings of Extreme Movie are in its humour and storytelling, the jokes are unfunny and the script is really lame on the whole, while the story is predictable and almost a non-event. I also hated the irritating characters and the ending, which felt really tacked on. All in all, a dire movie but I have seen worse. 1/10 Bethany Cox

churchofsunshine23 March 2009There seems to be a general rule of thumb now that a "Movie" franchise film is only really half-decent if Aaron Seltzer & Jason Friedberg aren't involved with the production. The good news then, is that in this case, they weren't. The people behind "Extreme Movie" are the same people who brought you "Not Another Teen Movie" which is one of the better spoof movies of recent years.
This is not the kind of movie you'd let grandma watch. It's not really the kind of movie you'd want your parents to catch you watching either, but it is perhaps the sort of thing teenagers would watch as a 'Date Movie'. It's juvenile and full of sex and fart jokes, not to mention a fair bit of nudity, so its not really for the easily offended. A film about teenagers and sex is by its very definition going to be a bit raunchy. At the grand old age of 35, maybe I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for these kind of teen 'High School' movies, but I do like comedy and spoof films so am always prepared to give stuff like this a chance, and I did find a couple of parts of this film quite funny and I did laugh. Also for once, I was disappointed that the film came to an end after just over seventy minutes - unlike with the 'Epic' and 'Disaster' movies, my brain cells weren't starting to fry and I could easily have sat through more of the same.
This is not a movie in the normal sense of the word but a series of skits with the common theme of teenage sex. Personally, I liked the guy who went to the wrong apartment by mistake dressed in a mask to act out a kidnap fantasy with a girl he met online - "Did anyone order a rape?" - it just cracked me up for some reason - not sophisticated by any means, but funny. This is definitely a film for the Lads rather than the ladies though. -
Matt_Layden15 March 2009I caught this flick before it was released and had no idea what it was about. The title instantly gives you a bad feeling all over. Is it really one of those franchise " ______ Movie". Is it really as bad as those films? The answer is no.
It is incredibly worse.
Ladies and gentlemen this flick has cracked my top ten on the list of the worst movies ever made. It is truly that terrible.
The film, if you can even call it that, has no virtually no story or plot. It is honest to god, a bunch of sketches. Something off of SNL or Mad TV, but for raunchy. There is one character that runs throughout the entire film and he tries to get the girl. Nothing new, original or funny there.
The "film" for some reason has recognizable names. Stars like Jamie Kennedy, Matthew Lillard, Frankie Muniz and Michael Cera. This "film" is an embarrassment for all involved and should be locked away with films like Belly or Carnivore.
Non of the sketches are funny. We've seen all these things before. It tries to be edgy, but comes off as juvenile. A woman gets her cellphone stuck in her vagina and it constantly goes off, pleasuring her at the most inappropriate times. A kid buys a sex toy, a life like vagina and the entire skit is his relationship with it, it becomes jealous and kills itself. Matthew Lillard some unknown reason inter cuts the sketches with unoriginal jokes that your father probably knows.
The only tolerable bit was Cera, and it's only because he sells it, not the writing.
For the love of god and all that is good, never watch this trash. -
Floated24 October 2010Extreme Movie is very deceiving in its name. Many people have assume that it was a spoof movie such as Epic movie, or disaster movie, but it isn't. Its basically just a bunch of skits of teens in embarrassing situations trying to get the girl. Though there's one main story, involving a kid-Mike (Ryan Pinkston) trying to get a girl from his class. That seems to come around here and there and ends up being there towards the ending. The setup of this movie reminded of the animation series of Robotchicken: a bunch of sketches which are zapped when finished. And the same thing is going on here. Mix Robotchicken with an average teen movie and this is what you get. Also the talented cast was wasted (Frankie Muniz, Michael Cera, Jamie Kennedy), they're only in about one scene which is pretty deceiving considering they get top billings and are on the cover of the poster. Overall this movie was just lame, unfunny and just horrible.

This film is about a bunch of teenagers' encounter with sex in their school and outside school.
"Extreme Movie" is delivered in several segments, each unrelated to another. Hence, there is no coherent storyline, but just episodes of events that filmmakers think are fun to film. The film is adequate to slightly entertain, but do not expect anything very funny. The jokes do not really work either. It is quite a disappointment considering the number of big name actors in this film.
Putting things into perspective, "Extreme Movie" is way better than the recent spoofs such as "Disaster Movie". At least I did not feel bored or waiting for "Extreme Movie" to end. -
jennifer62630 October 2010I've read IMDb reviews for years, either to research a movie before I see it, or check out whether others agree with my thoughts after the fact. I hope I've caught you as someone who hasn't yet seen this, because I registered with the site for the sole purpose of warning you. This "movie" is really just a series of moving pictures from the backlot of a fourth-tier porn studio that decided to have its actors get together between takes and try to put something "funny" together. To discount it as offensive and gross would be unfair to offensive and gross movies; it's just...pointless. No acting, no plot, no special effects, no jokes, just the constant repetition of naughty words and breast shots. Though I put this movie on in the background while I was cleaning the house (yes, I am intentionally including that disclaimer to distance myself as much as possible), I still feel that an hour of my life is forever tainted. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

Lemon_Stick24 February 2009From the offset this film tries so hard to pull off a 1999 teen comedy spoof, though it fails cringefully. The movie is just one incoherent skit to another - all involving different characters, with flashes to an awful 'Street confessions' mock TV show and film editing transitions of white noise, how windows 95. Also talent wise Frankie Muniz headlines the movie, which for an out of work child actor doesn't say a lot. Big name Michael Cera looks embarrassed through trying to bounce off other wooden 'actors' (I doubt they were even that) involved a small role in an equally unfunny scenario. And the porn scene... I think it's safe to say SAG have no idea where those artistes were hired from. The writers also embarrassed themselves implementing poor, poor imitation scenes from Weird Science, Girl Next Door and Not Another Teen Movie, so much it ruins the original.
Overall I felt hurt I had wasted my time watching this film, the very least they could have done was edit it so it all stories were linked and thus gave somewhat correlated chronology of events, instead of mind wobbling mess of themes. There was a main plot of the film nestled inbetween the separate dire toilet humour gags, though it was underdeveloped and poor. -
planktonrules21 February 2019Currently, "Extreme Movie" is the 100th movie on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 list--the 100 lowest rated major motion pictures. The fact this film made the list is no surprise, as in recent years they've made a lot of similar pictures...and many have made the list, such as "Disaster Movie", "Epic Movie", "Date Movie", and "Scary Movie 5". All are very similar...with a barrage of jokes, almost all of which are crude, disgusting and rarely funny. And, like these other films, there really isn't much plot, so I cannot really describe what you'll be seeing if you see the movie.
So did I like "Extreme Movie"? No...but it was less because it was so unfunny but because I felt uncomfortable because these films are all marketed towards teens...and "Extreme Movie" is about sex...pretty much each and every joke. I cannot even mention what many of the jokes are about (due to IMDB standards)...but, yes, there is a scene involving dwarves and a girl dressed up like Hitler...yes, Hitler! Many of the jokes also are about STDs and all sorts of nasty things....and all handled in a crude and unfunny manner. In many ways, it felt like a movie that was made by 13 year-olds....and I am sure many of them would laugh themselves silly with this film, though any sane parent would be horrified if they watched this thing. And, I cannot imagine adults finding any of it funny.
I laughed once...maybe twice...and that is why this one managed to earn a 2. -
robertplant1931 August 2010The best part about this movie was the credits....
Why is Matt Lillard a star guest playing himself in this movie...u did Scream and Scooby-Doo.
I have never done a review for a movie on IMDb but this movie was so horrible I had to come onto the site and register in order to help save others from wasting an hour and 10 minutes of their life.
This movie doesn't even deserve 4 stars...it doesn't even deserve to be on this website or considered a movie.
I've lost respect for all of the actors that took part in this movie, except for Kyle Gass and Michael Cera but what the hell were they thinking. And poor Will Forte...why did you write this movie. Jesus. -
bonehochane22 February 2009I watched this movie because I'm pretty big Michael Cera fan and really nothing he's been in so far has been terrible... however, this movie looks like it was begging not to be watched. With a title like Extreme Movie, an embarrassing cover, and the fact that it's a Blockbuster Exclusive, honestly doesn't give it very much appeal. However, the cast seemed pretty good, the directors made a hilarious spoof movie (I loved Not Another Teen Movie), and the writers were impressive, many big name Saturday Night Live writers.
Even with all that hidden talent though, the movie turns out to be exactly how the DVD case made it seem... embarrassing. For the most part very, very low brow humor with not very spectacular timing or very good taste. The movie for some reason plays like a typical American Pie storyline with sketches randomly thrown in. Some of these sketches made me chuckle, but for the most part, every sketch went on way, way too long.
Michael Cera's sketch though actually had me laughing for a few hours after I had already watched the movie. It might seemed a little biased because he was the reason I watching the movie, but really his sketch was the only one that was casted perfectly. He's only in the movie for maybe ten minutes, if even that, and the first couple of minutes really nothing happened. However, if you're not sick of Michael Cera's awkwardness yet, then it's used perfectly here.
Other than that, Jamie Kennedy's sketch made me went to take a shower after watching it. Really disgusting. Thought I was watching porn... actually the majority of the movie kind of feels that way... Matthew Lillard's portions of the film were incredibly unfunny. He basically just sits in a chair and throws at you the old sex advice jokes you've heard from so many standups in the past. Honestly, this isn't a movie I would recommend. If you've been enjoying the movies Michael Cera has been putting out... then probably skip this one. It's really not worth waiting forty minutes from him to appear only to disappear moments later. -
its-kris-maytee21 February 2009Dimension have done it again..
Epic Movie was epically terrible, Disaster Movie was a disaster, and Date Movie.. I won't even go there. But no film has soiled the once funny 'spoof' format as much as Extreme Movie has.
I haven't enjoyed any of the films along this route apart from the original few Scary Movies. However, I was quite looking forward to watching this film, but now wish I hadn't bothered. Not once did Extreme Movie refer to a successful box office movie I have seen before, and I have seen a fair few 'teenage sex comedies'.
I wish I could say one good thing about this film but I'm struggling to do so. With no real storyline at all, this film really is ridiculous.. and the ending proves that. Not once did it make me laugh, and not once did I think the film would get any better.
The only reason I have given it a 2 is because of the one or two nudity scenes. Even those are pretty crap. -
stefan-pfennigsdorf19 September 2009You know this scene form "American Pie" which gave the movie its title - this movie is all about that topic an EVERYTHING else you can imagine about teenage sexual fantasies or fears.
There are worse "-insert topic- Movie"s, I actually laughed a lot, although it is a very rude humor. I don't know why it is called "Extreme Movie", but it fits the way that topic is depicted. If you liked "Not Another Teen Movie" then this one might be suitable for you, although the level of the humor is mostly lower.
Definitely not a movie for the really young or the elderly or Cannes-lovers, but enjoyable for a comedy fan who already took a shot at other "... Movie" movies.
PS: This is my first comment, right after THIS movie and some drinks, so I hope you don't mind. -
wouter-de-groot5 April 2011First of all, I love the simple 'you-don't-think-just-watch-and-laugh'-movies. That is exactly what I was going for when I put in this DVD. A mainstream storyline, some basic characters, mediocre acting, stupid jokes etc.; that's all! Now let's see what this movie brings; one or two good actors (can some1 explain to me why Michael Cera wanted to be in this movie; same for the guy from malcolm in the middle) and a few good looking girls! Together with some lame fart and sex jokes, these parts bring in the three stars I gave them.
Now lets have a look at the 7 stars I didn't reward this movie with. First of all, I'm completely missing a storyline. Only sketches! Oke, most sketches continue where the others end, but still...this is not enough for a storyline, not even for these kind of movies. Than we have the jokes; these are probably not as bad as I think right now, but that's due to the acting. Bad actors make bad jokes! The only time I was really laughing was during Michael Cera's sketch.
So we have no storyline, bad actors and bad jokes. Hmmm, you're still thinking about seeing this movie? Don't, please don't! Wout -
he886 September 2010OK...So there was a lot of flat and not too polished aspects to this film. On the other hand there were some definite home runs. The first scene with Frankie Muniz was one most gut busting funny bits ever. I laughed so hard I started choking on a cookie I was eating. The movie was set up more like the 70's gem "Groove Tube" that came across as if you were surfing through TV channels. There was one consistent story line that it would keep coming back to, but in between there were fake commercials, skits, and even a tip to HBO's "Real Sex" where they would do the supposedly random interviews on the street....Which usually turned out with more info than one of the interviewed knew or basically wanted to know about the other (or others).
I too was going to drop the movie early on, but I decided to hang in there a bit and was able to get a few more laughs...I mean a movie with fart jokes involving pretty girls can't be all bad right??? Like groove Tube I think this was probably made with the idea that people in a state of mind pollution would find this rolling on the ground funny....And they'd probably be right.....But this isn't the seventies so I don't think it received the same underground fame that Groove Tube did... -
When I watched this movie I didn't really expect much from it to be honest, so I wasn't shocked that it was just an average American teen comedy with plenty of dirty humor. There were some laugh out loud moments (such as the next level scenes, the Michael Cera rape scene, the portable vagina scene and most of the scenes with Ryan Pinkston in, mainly because he really plays the average teenager trying to get with the hot girl really well) and unfortunately there were some really not so funny scenes (mainly the Matthew Lillard scenes).
Anyways to sum this film up, it's a middle of the road comedy with a few good laughs so if you're expecting to see a great comedy film with funny moments throughout I strongly advise you go and watch The Hangover films or The Inbetweeners movie instead.

krahl-22719 February 2009Its been a long and painful viewing experience for audiences and fans of the scary movie series as the recent bunch of spoof-movies (date,epic,disaster movie and meet the spartans) have been quite horrible. And then along comes this movie. I watched this movie hoping that it just might be good. But alas, what starts out as a hilarious opening scene quickly gives way to an utterly disappointing movie with some really awkward scenes.The movie itself is about teens going through the usual issues with sex and maturity (well just sex actually) and plays in the form of small episodes.The only probable reason to even watch this movie would be for its few good funny scenes,namely - the opening scene with Frankie Munitz,the misplaced cell phone,the mistaken room,the scene with the prostitute and the intermittent commentary scenes with Matthew Lillard.In fact,the most hilarious scenes are those with Matthew Lillard and are worth watching (but only these scenes).
All in all this movie which starts out promising is just another sad excuse for an attempt at comedy,which contains mostly awkward but un-funny scenes and pretty women (surprisingly enough), with the only good part being Matthew Lillard's jokes. Ultimately in the end not worth the effort or your precious time.What still amazes me though, is how in hell did IMDb give this movie a 7 out of 10???. -
alejandrogmx26 April 2011I caught this film on T.V. tonight and decided to give it a try. I shouldn't. This is one of those films that wants desperately to be funny but ends up being pathetic, boring and in many cases, disgusting.
At some points the sketches have potential, but they all end up being silly and with poor taste, some others are formulaic and lack of any fun. It seems to me they tried unsuccessfully to make a spoof or an update teen version of the 1987 satire "Amazon Women on the Moon". The result is a lose and poorly written series of shorts about silly and uninteresting characters, some of them connected through one story (just like the fore-mentioned film), but that is not enough to keep the audience's attention through its painful 86 minutes run.
Absolutely not recommended. -
datorsiers213 December 2014To be honest only watched this movie, because all the reviews were really bad on this one, wanted to see if it is gonna be that bad, and yes it is, it is even worse than i thought. this movie doesn't even deserve a rating of 3,8, which it has. Possibly one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life.
I have no idea, why would actors like Frankie Muniz and Michael Cera agree to be in this piece of garbage. That wasn't even a movie, just a bunch of clips thrown together, every second of the movie displaying only unfunny sex jokes.
Seriously, if someone finds funny a scene were a rubber vagina calls a girl and then commits suicide, they are dumb as hell. Probably only people who are bellow the age of 10 or people who were incredibly high at the time of watching this liked it, since it has a rating of 3,8 at least. I can guarantee you, that any person over the age of 18, who is not somehow mentally challenged will think this movie is absolutely stupid and not funny in any matter.
Save your time and don't even start watching it, i wasted my time for you. -
t-g-orrell26 July 2009Usually these (insert genre) Movie movies don't appeal to me at all. However after seeing a couple clips of this, it actually looked kind of funny. And in the end it was kind of funny. Sure there were some unfunny, lowest-common-denominator humor, but some parts, Michael Cera's and Andy Milonakis's especially, were very funny. I also liked Matthew Lillard's "And Now You Know-esk" segments. There isn't much story to it, as a lot of it is individual "skits", but the main story is a boy who is trying to reveal his crush/love to a classmate of his. Most of the funniest parts come from the scenes that don't have anything to do with this and the longer musical number makes NO sense. Probably if they stuck to a structured story, the movie would've sucked a lot more. However it could've been a lot worse, and I expected worse.
-
razil-690-47971820 March 2010This is probably one of the stupidest movies i've ever seen. After seeing Scary Movie, which I thought was great. I thought anything that ended with the word "movie" would be good. I was VERY mistaken.
Now where do I start, well I know comedy movies can be disgusting and gross like in Scary Movie and it can still be funny, but not with this movie. Extreme Movie could be funny but it just ended up taking the sick jokes way too far and actually started to really annoy me.
I mean, comedies can be as disgusting as they want as long as they have a story behind it and at least one normal character that can lead us through it. Extreme Movie had neither, it was just a bundle of jokes that started to get annoying quickly, 12 year old kids playing with sex toys, just about every character was some sex addict, and it was just horrible. It was a waste of money and time and the character you think may be the normal character I was talking about hardly ever comes up or does anything the rest of the movie is just about stupid people doing stupid stuff that gets on your nerves after a while.
I could probably best describe this as a deranged orgasm in the form of a movie, if that makes sense, because I'm telling you now this movie doesn't. See my vote to see what I really think it's worth! -
trenchkrymor1 July 2009So here's the deal, I caught only the last 3 skits of this movie and now I really want to see the rest of it. The fact that people are saying it's worse than the spoof movies that have been flooding theatres is complete garbage. It's not for everyone, imagine the most vulgar movie you have seen, this more than likely pushes the envelope a little bit farther. I am not a fan of American pie movies and things that fall in that genre, which this kind of does, what separates it from that style is that it's a few separate skits, no one falls in love, or learns a valuable life lesson to take it from crude entertainment into corniness. Not for everyone by any means, but if you like vulgar comedy this is worth checking out. Just don't take it too seriously.

HorrorEnjoyer28 August 2010Going into this I expected something "Disaster movie" bad , but was kinda surprised when most of the segments had some actual humor in it good enough for few cheap laughs. The title is kinda misleading, from the "extreme" movie I didn't expect all jokes to be about sex, but oh well, could be worse, I guess. Anyways it's still a pretty bad picture with no plot at all and some parts doesn't make any kind of sense, I though that Matthew Lillard segments were completely pointless and did they really need to have that musical number at the end? I can't recommend it, but then again I'm not really a fan of this kind of humor and if you are, you'll probably find some fun with this flick.

SnoopyStyle23 March 2015It's a series of sketches about the teens at Great Bay High School. The senior prom is coming up and the kids have sex-ed. It's part spoof and part sex-romp. The team of Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson has made various broad spoofs. It's a lot of scattershot jokes vignettes and they don't hit that often. The major thing holding this back are the lead kid actors. They are not terribly funny on their own. The jokes are basically inappropriate sex jokes with very young actors. It's mostly not that funny. I like Kevin Hart and a couple of the scenes. The writing team has some very notable names. It would be interesting to see who wrote which section. That would have been fun to know.
-
mrcheminee30 March 2009No, this ain't no top comedy, typical teen movie, porn movie or really extreme movie, but it also isn't as bad as most IMDb'ers say. Some of the jokes are funny, some are lame and the acting is sometimes pretty bad, but still it as some funny and interesting aspects. The setup of this movie reminded of the animation series of Robotchicken: a bunch of sketches which are zapped when finished. And the same thing is going on here. Mix Robotchicken with an average teen movie and this is what you get. I did like the movie and I think the movie could have been only a little better, not much, because this is what this genre is like. Bad sex jokes, sexy babes and some typical American life lessons. If you like movies like American Pie, this movie is worth a try.

i live in Ireland and had been looking forward seeing this for up to a year. i thought it was a so called "movie" movie but it wasn't so i kept looking into it and thought it would be funny and entertaining
and then when watching it recently i was excited and then watching it i was shocked by its stupidity
boring jokes, unfunny views and Andy Milonokas. it was crap
i loved (most of) the cast and thought they would make it, not even funny per se but entertaining.
the only good bits were with Matthew Lillard
i would not recommend this film to anyone with as brain or pulse and it was a waist of 75 minutes and 29 seconds of mi life
1*/10*: unbelievably poor
