Superfast! (2015) 5/10

Starring : Alex Ashbaugh, Dale Pavinski, Lili Mirojnick, Andrea Navedo, Daniel Booko, Omar Chaparro
Director : Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer
Running Time : 100 mins

Rookie cop Lucas White (Ashbaugh) is sent undercover to infiltrate a gang of illegal street racers led by Vin Serento (Pavinski) who are suspected of working with renowned kingpin Juan Carlos de la Sol (Chaparro), but White soon starts to like his new criminal friends and is reluctant to turn them in.

This spoof of ‘The Fast And The Furious’ isn’t as terrible as some of the spoofs made by Friedberg & Seltzer. Thankfully they don’t thrown in too many irrelevant popular culture references like they did in the likes of ‘Epic Movie’ or ‘Disaster Movie’. Instead they’ve tried to follow the formula that ‘Airplane!’ did so well – take an existing movie and play the script for jokes. They tried this with ‘Vampires Suck’ and failed miserably, but here they do a little better. It’s still not laugh out loud funny, but it has its moments that aren’t completely cringeworthy.
