If your gonna be brave and make a spoof of a billion dollar franchise then you gotta make it good! This does try but fails from start to finish. the gags are about as funny as a orphanage on fire, the cars are OK some of the characters do look like the fast n furious lot but the bloke who portrays the late great paul walkers (r.i.p) character brian o conner looks more like the stand up comedian Russell howard. I cant think of a single good thing about this film, if your gonna do a successful spoof of a successful franchise then take a page out of scary movie's book, this film tries to hard to be a spoof of too many fast n furious films and as you can tell fails badly 1hr 39mins of by far the worst spoof film i have ever seen.

Friedberg and Seltzer have carved a niche writing and directing guilty pleasures – parodies of films and genres that audiences seem to enjoy and that earn money, but which attract scathing reviews by self-important critics who consider themselves guardians of public cinematic tastes and standards. At $20MM, "Superfast!" isn't exactly low-budget, except compared with the $190MM budget for "Furious 7." Much of the humor is low-brow, although perhaps not as low-brow as some of the humor in "Airplane!" It's more polished than typical direct-to-video fare, but lacks the polish of major theatrical releases. Compared with "Airplane!" the plot is more cohesive and less episodic, but that's a mixed blessing – some of the funniest bits in "Airplane!" (black coffee, pedophile pilot, wrong day to quit) didn't really propel the plot. The filmmakers cast relatively unknown actors who resemble the Fast & Furious actors they parody, remarkably well in some cases. The actors generally do an excellent job, even when given silly things to do and things to say. They seem committed to their roles and never wink at the camera. The movie is a series of ridiculous gags. It lacks subtlety. Character development is nonexistent. Transitions are nonsensical. Some of the jokes seem forced, while others aren't very funny. But a lot of the jokes work. Overall, the movie is hilarious. The jokes are cheap, unsophisticated, sophomoric and juvenile, but there are a lot of them. Perhaps too many of the characters are doofuses. Much of the humor seems deliberately constrained to target a teenage audience – they avoid raunchy jokes and one scene involving nudity is extensively blurred out when a Mike Myers/Austin Powers approach might have been much funnier. And much of the humor relies upon ridiculing the F&F franchise's ridiculous elements. The film makes no effort to be cerebral and succeeds famously.

This movie was horrible!!! My brain feels empty. DO NOT WATCH, especially if you are Fast and Furious fan like myself. I cant stress enough how bad this movie was. I mean I went into it expecting a parody and something to laugh at but this movie was just stupid, not funny stupid but plain stupid. I mean just taking the scene with the dance off just stupid... I watched the whole thing and literally felt my brain die every minute of the movie till it was more dead than the brain of the people who made this movie. Please do not EVER make another movie, a spoof should be funny not stupid and this was literally the STUPIDEST movie I've seen my whole life and I've seen some stupid movies. DO NOT WATCH!!!!

I did not laugh even once. Normally these spoof movies are really funny. The more ridiculous the movie they are spoofing the better the spoof will be. But in this case they just went for the obvious joke, which is not really funny. At times they mimicked the real movie so much I assumed I was actually watching it! The only thing to snap me out of it was the bad bad cheap unfunny jokes....oh yes this is a 'spoof' movie. I am a comedy fan and this movie gives spoof movies and comedy in general a bad name. This was clearly made to cash in on the popularity of the Fast and the Furious movies. Spoofs are supposed to be about the movie itself. This just made cheap pop culture references instead. Pitch perfect, 4G networks, climate controlled cars, etc.... It's as if the writers could not spoof the movie so they shoved in random jokes.... Worst of all was the main actor doing some sort of mock young Keanu Reeves voice impression. But why? Just too much nonsense in this movie. Not even really a spoof, just a bunch of random jokes represented as a Fast and Furious spoof. So if you want a real spoof of The Fast and the Furious don't watch this.

Superfast! is the third film of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer's, the men formerly responsible for theatrical atrocities like Date Movie, Epic Movie, and Meet the Spartans, to be released on video-on-demand and very few theaters across the United States rather than having them premiere on over two-thousand nationwide theaters. Contrary to many, I find this to be a good thing, as it greatly limits the number of people who will not only see these films but hear about these films as well. Unlike with mainstream theatrical releases, low key video-on-demand releases have little publicity and, unless you're in touch with the film community or the producers of certain films, your chances of a film on the independent circuit finding you before you find it are slim to none. Superfast! is the long talked about parody from Friedberg and Seltzer that would lampoon The Fast and the Furious franchise. With an astonishing budget of $20 million, yet not even looking half as good as something made for TV, this is an unbelievably dated and stale parody for two major reasons. One, it relies on the biggest cheapshots of the characters, actors, and situational events of the series, rather than the genre clichés that make these films so predictable, a trait that Friedberg and Seltzer will ostensibly never recognize, and, secondly, with The Fast and the Furious franchise already spanning seven films, the series has had enough time to parody itself for lasting over a decade. It doesn't need a low-grade parody film to lampoon its existence; that what every film after the fifth one was designed to do. Rather than a real plot in Superfast!, we're expected to go along with and laugh at characters that look like impersonators of those from The Fast and the Furious series. Paul Walker's Brian O'Connor is turned into a sarcastic dimwit played by Alex Ashbaugh, Vin Diesel's trash-talking Dominic Toretto is given a brain-dead, atrociously unfunny makeover by Dale Pavinski, Mia Toretto is replaced with Lili Mirojnick's vapid doppelganger, and Dio Johnson does the honors of parodying Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Luke Hobbs character. Throw in cheapshots towards the characters' thin personalities, vehicles, car-lingo, racing sequences, and overall franchise lunacy, and, despite aiming low, Superfast! can't even make the obvious funny. The film settles for jokes that set the lowest bar and goals for the film, yet can't even manage to make those jokes hit, as everything is simply too dumb to function on numerous levels. In addition, at ninety-four minutes, trying to make this film have a cogent plot, or even exist past a Saturday Night Live skit, was an absolutely ludicrous ideas, as more than halfway through the film, we see Friedberg and Seltzer run out of gas and force the jokes to start recycling themselves. Superfast! is as loathsome as The Starving Games, the duo's last parody effort before shifting gears to Best Night Ever, their first and only non-parody film which was so bad it might has well have stuck to the winning formula. In the end, I'm left with the baffling question as to why over $20 million was invested into a video-on-demand project by two guys who have had disintegrating appeal over the last several years. Despite probably the large sum of money they've ever been blessed to work with, Friedberg and Seltzer prove that a heavy check still can't buy witty or marginally intelligent dialog and Superfast! is another film to discard in the ever-growing barrel that is their filmography. Starring: Alex Ashbaugh, Dale Pavinski, Lili Mirojnick, and Dio Johnson. Directed by: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

Long gone are the days of Hot Shots, Naked Gun and even Scary Movie. All we have now is the likes of Superfast! whose biggest advantage is tailgating the release date of Fast and Furious 7. A few good jokes and impressions aside, the film is ironically incredibly slow, churning already rehearsed juvenile jokes repeatedly to achieve some form of entertainment. Story is inspired by the Fast and Furious titles, mainly the earlier one. An undercover cop is trying to infiltrate a crew of street race. It matters little since barely any of it makes sense anyway. The cast is selected primary due to their resemblances to Fast and Furious characters, give or take. Fake Paul Walker misses the mark by miles. Character development is non-existent, unless you count Fake Michelle Rodriguez coming in term with her lesbian urge as one. At midway point the film even abandons names altogether and called its characters Rapper Cameo or such, which is admittedly pretty good. Fake Rock is also decent, he looks particularly similar to real Rock even down to the gestures. It's a bit creepy honestly. Script material has been around for more than a decade, people tend to jest about the highly implausible nature of Fast and Furious. Unfortunately, Superfast! does so little original humor as it relies on heavy slapstick and actual slapping. There's a heap of brash jokes to induce cringe effect on the audience. A couple of the gags are acceptable, such as the commentary on usual pop culture or when it breaks the fourth wall. I guess if a film takes lots of pot shots, some will eventually land. It also remembers to spice up the scenes with scantily clad women, although one can't blame it for following this already proved exciting gimmick. The whole movie felt so lengthy, I could've sworn that it was more than two hours as it drove around in circles. There are a couple of amusing bits, especially when it has lowered your standard after a few scenes. These are still not enough as incentive to take a slow tedious drive with Superfast!.
