Set in the most depressing corner of a post-apocalyptic future, our heroine Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) volunteers to take her manipulative younger sister's place in the seventy-fifth annual "Starving Games." In doing so, she must leave behind her smoldering just-a-friend Dale (Brant Daugherty) and team up with the geeky baker's son Peter Malarkey (Cody Allen Christian) in a fight for her life. But wait, there's more! She could also win an old ham, a coupon for a foot-long sub at a six-inch price, and a partially eaten pickle! In The Starving Games, Friedberg and Seltzer's sixth cinematic spoof of box-office hits, the prolific parody duo has its sights trained on the adventure blockbuster The Hunger Games! It's all the laughs and half the calories as they sling dozens of cock-eyed, barbed arrows at sci-fi, action and fantasy films from The Avengers and Oz the Great and Powerful to pop culture characters and celebrities like Harry Potter and Taylor Swift.
Leave your thoughts about The Starving Games.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.[The directors] are from the Seth McFarlane school of comedy, subscribing to the philosophy that if it's familiar, even vaguely, it must be funny... |
| Common Sense MediaAndrea BeachLowbrow, violent spoof with plenty of juvenile sex humor. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe writing-directing team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer now take aim at "The Hunger Games" with their latest effort, The Starving Games, and the fact that the title, as witless and uninspired as it may be, constitutes its humorous high-water mark should indicate just how ineptly they handle things this time around. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellEven a spoof fan has his limits and this one very closely approaches it. |
| EntertainmentTellBill GibronIt's safe to say that no one in their right mind would find any of (this) clever or entertaining. |
| The PlaylistGabe ToroThe Starving Games is the sixth directorial effort from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, and they are nothing if not consistent. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonIt seems even more slapdash and desperately unfunny than their earlier work. |
| User ReviewJon DI laughed my butt off.its not supposed to be taken seriously,it's supposed to be stupid. |
| User ReviewLuke CBest movie ever f you have a weird sense of humor and it is now my fave movie ever mostly because of my jacked up senses of humor lots of sexual scenes though |
| User ReviewTommy RThis movie is great if you want to watch a movie that's funny because its so bad. If you want to watch an actually good movie then don't watch this. |
