I know I'm supposed to review "modern" parodies parodies on THC. I apologize for being on pure high-grade alcohol (the no longer produced - real - Cuban Havana Club Añejo Blanco) for this review.
'Nuff said. 'Cept I miss (no really, really miss) Mell Brooks.
So... title Game of Thrones and The Purge. Guessing the "Purge" is current due to the rather weak TV-series? (Hope season 2 will be okay). GoT, well, again, ''nuff said.
Good things: 1. I staid awake. Usually I fall asleep while watching these things. 2. I recognized quite a lot of the references. 3. The production values where okay. 4. Most of the Trump parody stuff was actually okay. Actor did great.
Bad things: 1 I miss (no really, really miss) Mell Brooks. 2. The story was extremely limited. As it referred mostly to season one of GoT storywise, it could have been made a number of years ago. I could have done with a White Walker or something... This is keeping in mind that I still have to watch the last two seasons... 3. Rap culture (lone survivor before "sequel rewind") is not cool outside limited parts of the U.S. 4. "Purge" parody from title was barely there (mostly used as reference).
Anyway, some money was made...
Parodies where never the height of cultural expression. But as far as movies are concerned, we know what Brooks did. We found his early predecessors acceptable (Scary Movie a.s.o.). One may even call 'Brazil' a parody of '1984'. We experienced Python and the late '70's S.N.L. eps.
This particular movie may not live up to those standards. But it's a very slight step upwards from other recent parodies. As a fan of "Blazing Saddles" and "Life of Brian", I hope it's the early start of an upwards trend. A sightly shiny pebble in what could be a sea of diamonds, rather than a lightly shiny pebble in a pile of common pebbles.

Yep - this movie is REALLY bad
Every now and then a film comes along that is so bad it defies any analysis of how it got funded. This is one.
It is truly awful. To say any more would spoil the awfulness for anyone who has the misfortune to stumble across it - hopefully without paying any money to see it.
The only reason I gave it a rating of three is :
One star for the audacity of the producers to get this film funded. Another star for being able to get any form of distribution. A third star for a pretend hot blonde.
Utter Rubbish!
Wow the movie police should have been called for this travesty life sentences for all that participated in this GARBAGE.
