Epic Movie (2007) / YMMV

Alternate Character Interpretation:
- Did Peter really have a fetish for fat unibrowed ladies and genuinely wanted to have sex with Mystique in such a form? Or did he make her shapeshift that way as payback for rejecting him earlier? Considering how he was genuinely enjoying the makeout and sex, along with his drooling, it's most likely the former. Especially since, as most people have pointed out, the transformation would most likely be hell for the man unfortunate enough to have to sleep with her, rather than the woman herself, who'd be largely unaffected during the love making.
- Additionally, many have suggested what Peter really wanted may have been a MILF type body, but as he had never been with one and possibly hadn't seen one, he didn't know how to describe it, and ended up boning a flabby grandma body instead.
- As a follow-up, considering Peter's status as an orphan who never received much love, neither from his school nor through the love of any parents, it's been suggested that Peter may have a slight Oedipus Complex, wanting to have sex with someone resembling a mother or grandmother figure, even if it means it being a fat flabby grandma version of his crush. Although, this would make one wonder why he wouldn't go for a MILF type body, but as stated, he may not have known the difference, or just had specific likings. It's also possible that he had faint memories of his mother he wanted Mystique to replicate, and it just turned out that his mother wasn't the most attractive woman out there...
- Peter was also seen drinking quite heavily before Mystique came over to him, so it brings up the question... did Peter really want Mystique to gain a monobrow and a fat flabby grandma body? Or did he make those choices due to the excessive alcohol he drank making him want to bone a fat flabby granny? Let's hope it's the former, otherwise Peter would've probably been quite regretful the following morning...
Award Snub: A rare case of Golden Raspberry Award snub. So far all of their nominated works won nothing, which lends itself to another level of mockery: not only are their movies bad, they’re bad at being bad. In particular, it is very contentious that Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie lost Worst Rip-Off/Sequel to the fourth Indiana Jones—as divisive as that film is, it is nowhere near as negatively viewed as the aforementioned two are.
Best Known for the Fanservice: If anyone talks about these films other than saying that they are terrible films, it's probably for the attractive women they feature in the films. Then-famous model and actress Carmen Electra especially counts, appearing in nearly all of their films. She's Anne in Date Movie, Queen Margo in Meet the Spartans, the Beautiful Assassin in Disaster Movie, and Mystique in Epic Movie, almost always featuring her doing something sexy and mugging for the camera. Although some inversions occur inevitably, such as her parody of Mystique turning incredibly fat (which some still may have enjoyed...) and gaining a unibrow, due to the gross comedy of these films. Still, most scenes involving her and the other women are the main reason many even attempt to slog through these films.
- Garage Squad fans also check out the movie thanks to model Heather Storm appearing topless in a bit role as Aslo's girl.
Crack Pairing: Of all possible pairings, a parody of Peter from Narnia ends up hooking up and doing it with a parody of Mystique from X-Men, two franchises and characters which have absolutely nothing to do with each other^note.
Ensemble Dark Horse:
- The Willy Wonka character, mainly because he's played by Crispin Glover and for being one of the only redeeming qualities of that film.
- The Mystique parody, for similar reasons as Jello-O. Being a basically naked Carmen Electra painted blue certain adds to that. Even her later fatter form is also quite popular to a certain group of people who share the same tastes as Peter.
Hilarious in Hindsight:
- One of many Big Lipped Alligator Moments is a Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl-themed parody of "Lazy Sunday". Cut to 2011 with the song "Jack Sparrow".
- Edward says the name Jack Swallows is "kinda gay, dude." Edward's actor Kal Penn came out as gay in 2021.
Misaimed Fandom: Mystique's transformation into a fat flabby unibrowed lady is meant to be absolutely disgustingly and appalling, the joke obviously being that Peter threw out a potentially heavenly night boning an extremely well endowed woman who could literally have the hottest body any man could desire for a night with an incredibly ugly and disgusting woman any guy would try to avoid getting with at all costs. Looking into any fanworks of Epic Movie's version of Mystique, however, whether fanfiction or fanart, almost all of it is based on the fat and flabby version of her, which is seen as incredibly attractive by those who are into larger gals.
Retroactive Recognition: Heather Storm of Garage Squad fame surprisingly makes a brief appearance as Aslo's girl in one of her earliest major film roles, which many fans took great notice of as she was topless in the unrated cut.
Shallow Parody: A jab at Harry Potter has the supposedly young children being played by adults. This is despite that the lead child actors were in fact played by children roughly the same age as their characters and generally stayed the same age as their older characters.
Special Effect Failure: The scene involving Mystique shapeshifting in Epic Movie is rather poorly done. The bigger breasts and larger ass are accomplished via air bladders under Carmen Electra's Mystique outfit (an actually pretty decent costume) and it's a very bad effect. Her eye color also randomly changes throughout the scene, with her eyes switching from being Carmen Electra's normal blue eyes to completely yellow and dotted eyes (She did shapeshift it, but the color keeps changing during cuts). And Mystique's transformation into an older fat woman (who is a completely different actress) doesn't even show the transformation. After Carmen Electra as Mystique starts shaking her arms, it just cuts to a shot of Peter staring up drooling at the sight of her flapping her flabby arms and then cuts to the fatter actress. When he also finally gets to his breaking point and yells for her to start having sex with him, it cuts directly from a shot of her flapping her arms to a shot of her arms just at her side, without her even putting her arms down. And for one last fail, the moment it cuts from the close up shot of Peter groping her to her falling down and making out with him, the drool disappears. Also, any closeups of her butt make it clear she's wearing tights.
