Pro Parody Movies: Seriously? Chill Out, Dude

Pro+Parody+Movies%3A+Seriously%3F+Chill+Out%2C+Dude

story by MacKenzie Sackett |

I am one of those people who does not take everything in life so seriously. Yes, there are those hard times that everyone goes through, but I always try to laugh and see the brighter side of things. That is why, when I entered the auditorium to see “Vampires Suck”, I knew I was going to laugh until I cried. Recently parody movies have become huge hits. Although there are many opinions on the quality of parody movies, I personally love them.

When I first heard about “Vampires Suck” (the parody to the Twilight films) coming out, I was a bit annoyed because I am a fan of Twilight and I thought, why ruin it? However, the movie surprised me because it was actually very funny! The only people who could understand the jokes are the actual fans of “Twilight.” The parody does not mean that the writers of “Vampires Suck” wanted to offend so called “twihards”; they just wanted to give people a good laugh.

Parody movies are not to be taken seriously. The people who find them stupid and offensive need to calm down because parodies are just for fun. The makers of these movies know they are not going to be Oscar-worthy films and they really do not care. What they care about is if the movies make money. As long as people are still paying to see parodies, they are going to keep making them

Parody movies are really just a matter of one’s taste in genres. If you like serious movies, you are definitely not going to like parody movies. However, people should be more open-minded when deciding what movie to go see or rent. If you normally do not watch parody movies, try something new like I did. You may actually end up liking them.
