Superfast! (2015)
4/10
Unfunny Parody of Fast & Furious
4 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Superfast!", starring Dale Pavinski-Takers, Underworld:Rise of the Lycans; Alex Ashbaugh-Milwaukee, The Canyons; Lili Mirojnick-Friends With Benefits, Cloverfield; Dio Johnson-Battle Creek_tv, At the Top of the Pyramid and Omar Chaparro-Pulling Strings, Right to Love.

This is a parody/spoof of the 'Fast & Furious' movies. Coincidently, it is being released on the same day as the latest installment in the series, 'Furious Seven'. Or is it a coincidence? It is written and directed by Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer, who had a hand in 'The Starving Games', 'Meet the Spartans', and 'Epic Movie', just to name a few. See if this plot description sounds familiar; An undercover cop, Alex, is trying to bust a street racer, Dale, and ends up falling for Dale's sister, Lili, and ultimately, decides to join the wrong side of the law, Dales' team while driving fast cars. There is a villain, Omar, that has all his money stashed at a fast food restaurant called 'Big Ass Tacos'-I guess they couldn't get the OK to use the name Taco Bell. Dale puts together a team to pull off the heist that consists of a former super model turned actress, a cool Asian guy that knows martial arts, a black rapper, well, you get the idea. Dio is the special cop that is chasing Dale and his team. There are some funny parts; such as the characters' names-Vin, Michelle, Jordana, Rock. But, on the whole, it was more on the unfunny side. As the credits start, there are some bloopers and out takes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD. I might rent it, if I was a little drunk and felt like watching it but otherwise, I would wait until it comes to cable TV.
