Epic Movie is a 2007 American parody film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer and produced by Paul Schiff. It was released on January 26, 2007 and stars Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, Jayma Mays, Jennifer Coolidge, Faune A. Chambers, Crispin Glover, Tony Cox, and Fred Willard. A parody of the epic film genre, the film references The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Caribbean, and X-Men.
The film was unanimously panned by critics and many have considered it to be one of the worst films of all time. Despite this, it was a box office success and earned $86.9 million worldwide, more than four times its $20 million budget.
