Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

joaombento Wonderful movie. Usually I'm very critic and don't find most comedies amusing. I loved this movie. I'm also very fond of Maiara Walsh specially in this movie. It helps ... .

TxMike This movie is not as bad as the IMDb rating would indicate. It has very many "1" votes for no reason at all. It sets out to spoof the popular 'Hunger Games' movies and it does it very well. Also it was filmed mostly in the Hammond, Louisiana area which pleases this Louisiana native! The actress playing the Katniss role is cute and capable Maiara Walsh as Kantmiss Evershot. Archer ... every shot ... can't miss. I think it is a very clever character name. Anyway the opening scene sets the tone for the rest. In a very serious start Kantmiss is tracking wildlife and sees a chicken on a tree branch. She pulls back and as she is about to release the arrow a friend of hers jumps up and surprises her, the arrow goes way off its mark, towards a man in a balloon gondola, hits him in the chest and he falls dead to the ground.So the rest of the movie is similar in that scenes start rather seriously but quickly go into absurdity. For those of us who don't take the 'Hunger Games' movies too seriously this is a fun diversion, just to see the clever parodies. Of course there are butt jokes, boob jokes, crotch jokes, and excrement jokes but all done in fairly good taste as evident with the PG-13 rating.The movie runs less than 90 minutes and even the closing credits have a few outtakes in it. I viewed it on Netflix streaming movies.

kcott44 The only reason I watched this and I mean it, was that I was paid $20 to, by a truly cruel evil man that even the "prize" of $20 is not worth sitting through an hour and twelve minute film which this is, not counting horribly unfunny bloopers which take up ten more minutes of your life which would be better spent shooting up heroin and I mean that. Thankfully, this is the first Friedberg/Seltzer "film" to be released straight to video, it's about time. You know, people say there are worse directors but I don't see it, even Uwe Boll delivered a couple of decent films in Rampage and Assault on Wall Street. Even Michael Bay as much as I dislike him can create solid special effects. But this deadly duo who are guilty of making people dumber for having to sit through their films are the truly most criminal. On to the "film" itself, it obviously is a "satire" of The Hunger Games while also in typical fashion of this duo add random unfunny things to it, just to add it, for no apparent reason. I just watched the movie and I am started to forget most of it which is a blessing, every joke, and I mean every joke is a desperate pathetic attempt to make the viewer laugh, I can't comprehend the people who would find this funny. Obviously the people who like their awful excuses for movies, there has to be some people, if they keep making them. The only thing I give the movie props for is a quick moment where they show that The Hunger Games is essentially a rip off of The Running Man and Battle Royale, however, the way they did it, did not make me laugh. The acting is cringe worthy and I like Diedrich Bader but he has nothing to do here and is completely wasted in his role, he must have needed the paycheck. I can't even explain how bad the "jokes" are.Overall, it's just like their other flicks, painfully unfunny and will make you want to commit suicide faster than a death in your family. Not as bad as Disaster Movie as nothing ever will but still easily one of the worst comedies ever made. I don't believe in an afterlife but if there is a hell, it will no doubt be a never ending marathon of their works. Now excuse me while I go hang myself.

ilikeimdb What does one really expect regarding this kind of spoof outing? The Hunger Games is certainly an above-average target given how serious it takes itself. What's too bad in terms of the humor used in The Starving Games is the amount of low-brow fart/elimination/kick-to-the-nuts stuff that seems to show up in lowest-common-denominator humor. Yes, it's a bunch of sight gags, but many are fun and well-done. The leads are pretty/handsome and very well matched to the characters in the Hunger Games. I imagine this movie benefits from lots of beer with some amount of pizza...so you won't starve while watching this outing and a bit of judicious inebriation will certainly help elevate this movie.
