Pete Ingalls wakes up in the hospital certain he's a great PI, so he sets up a new office. But will he be in over his head when he gets two clients? A spoof on the classic PI stories of old, and an entertaining mystery to boot.

Jackson Jones goes from hero to zero when he gets braces. But that's also how he finds out about the super spies operating out of his elementary school. This book is funny and creative while still delivering a credible plot (well, for a spy spoof). Kids of all ages will love it.

2 iconic characters in the same film (1 more)
Much better than most of the Friday the 13th films
Slasher fan heaven
A pretty cool hack'n'slash film. Almost tongue in cheek at times, it could almost be a spoof of both series of films. The effects are cool and there is plenty of blood for gore fans. Nice to see a recent film starring these two cult film characters giving the fans what they like.

Oddball comedy
A strange comedy for adults that is part spoof, part panto with quite a good cast surprisingly. There is a fair bit of gore, swearing, rude references, nudity and reasonable cgi for a film of this type. Overall though it's missing the main ingredient, being funny with most of the jokes just not that good. A strange type of film, rather childish and silly with a few redeeming qualities but not many!

The show starts off pretty campy and I thought it was meant to be a spoof. As the series continues the show attempts to be more serious, with a bit of comic relief. All in all, it is not a bad show. The special effects are not in any way cheesy. In my opinion, it would have fared a bit better by deciding what type of show it wanted to be from the beginning and committing.

This spoof of PI conventions centers on a security guard who thinks he has what it takes to be a real PI. After all, he's watched every PI show on TV he could find. How hard could it be? A bit dark for my usual tastes, I still enjoyed this funny look at the PI genre.

The NERDS team is back and on the trail of a bank robber using squirrels as his accomplishes. Is it an old friend turned villain? This Bond spoof for kids is a very funny ride that I completely loved. Definitely consider it for kids in life, but read it yourself first. You'll love it, too.
