Trivia:

Edward is the only character whose name differs from the original character from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005). The original character's name is Edmund, not Edward.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mr Tumbnus shows his crib, he says "look! my plasma", but the television is clearly a Sharp, which only has LCD models.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: This is the story of four orphans brought together by fate. They didn't know it yet, but there was something more greater in store for them, something epic.

Epic Movie is a Disaster of Epic Proportions

Alright, it wasn't that bad, but it was close. Sure the Scary Movie series as well as Date Movie were stupid and juvenile, but this is dumber than all the rest. There were a few chuckles, but overall it was mostly me groaning. Nearly every joke was tired and lame. They gave away all the "good" jokes in the trailer. Why Fred Willard and Jennifer Coolidge would be in this I have no idea. But Crispin Glover? The oddball actor who was so great in films like Back to the Future, River's Edge What's Eating Gilbert Grape and more? Yeah that's him all right, as Willy Wonka dancing around to crappy songs. So maybe my title was accurate.
