Disaster Movie

Disaster Movie is a 2008 American parody film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer and produced by Peter Safran, Friedberg, and Seltzer. It stars Matt Lanter, Vanessa Minnillo, Gary "G Thang" Johnson, Crista Flanagan, Nicole Parker, Ike Barinholtz, Carmen Electra, Tony Cox, and Kim Kardashian in her feature film debut. The film is mainly a parody of the disaster film genre, although it also references many other films, TV shows, people, and pop culture events of the time.

Initially intended as a parody of Superbad (2007), directors Friedberg and Seltzer transitioned the film as a satire of the disaster movie genre midway through production. The directors also reportedly used trailer footage to get an understanding of then upcoming unreleased films. Filming took place from April to June 2008, with the title getting revealed on the final day of the film's production.

The film was theatrically released in the United States on August 29, 2008, by Lionsgate. Disaster Movie was universally panned by critics and audiences, with many considering it to be the worst "movie" directed by Friedberg and Seltzer. The film is often listed as one of the lowest-rated films of the 2000s, and one of the worst films of all time. It was also a financial disappointment compared to Friedberg and Seltzer's previous films, grossing $34.8 million on $20 million budget. At the 29th Golden Raspberry Awards, the film received six nominations.
