Entertainment Reviews:
This low-budget effort lacks the wit necessary to sustain its brief 80-minute running time.
Hollywood Reporter
It's a sour, petty act of mockery that values its own ineptitude over genuine cleverness, travestying Quentin Tarantino and others simply for dreaming up gimmicks that worked.
Village Voice
Rating: 1/5 --
Too many corners cut, not enough quality control, and a screenplay that simply wasn't ready for camera.

Rating: 2/5 --
My Big Fat Independent Movie is a frenetic attempt to spoof every major art-house film of the last decade.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Clever at times, hilarious on occasion, but doesn't quite make it into the spoof hall of fame.

Rating: 1/4 --
This painfully unfunny spoof promises to do for independent movies what Airplane! did for disaster movies, but mostly what My Big Fat Independent Movie does is demonstrate the ineptitude of its makers.
New York Post
Every time the movie seems about to drown in its own blatancy and semicompetence, Gore and company come up with a winning gambit.

Product Description:
In the tradition of SCARY MOVIE and NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE, this spoof on the world of independent cinema pokes fun at such indie film clichés as the unhappy ending, the forging of unlikely bonds, lesbian romances, and extramarital affairs. By taking to an extreme such archetypical artsy characters as the hitman, the swinger, the disgruntled retail worker, and the dreamer, the film gives the oh-so-serious world of highbrow filmmaking a lowbrow edge. With notable cameos by such comic actors as Bob Odenkirk (MR. SHOW), MY BIG FAT INDEPENDENT MOVIE turns films such as MAGNOLIA, SWINGERS, THE GOOD GIRL, and PULP FICTION on their heads.
