Story: Set in the most depressing corner of a postapocalyptic future, our heroine Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) volunteers to take her manipulative younger sister's place in the seventy-fifth annual "Starving Games." In doing so, she must leave behind her smoldering just-a-friend Dale (Brant Daugherty) and team up with the geeky baker's son Peter Malarkey (Cody Allen Christian) in a fight for her life. But wait, there's more! She could also win an old ham, a coupon for a foot-long sub at a six-inch price, and a partially eaten pickle! In The Starving Games, Friedberg and Seltzer's sixth cinematic spoof of box-office hits, the prolific parody duo has its sights trained on the adventure blockbuster The Hunger Games! It's all the laughs and half the calories as they sling dozens of cock-eyed, barbed arrows at sci-fi, action and fantasy films from The Avengers and Oz the Great and Powerful to pop culture characters and celebrities like Harry Potter and Taylor Swift
 
Likes After reviewing this film, some part were ok & as spoof comedy go there like a hit or miss as some time they can be over the top & just not funny. It dose its best to really take the piss out of a few movies like wizard of Oz, avengers, hunger games, lord of the rings & a few other films ya some part are funny but it the type of film that really dose depend on your sense humour.
I didn't laugh once throughout the entire movie. It was only when the bloopers were running that I was laughing.
And as such, then "The Starving Games" was a failure and as far from entertaining as a movie almost could be.
The acting itself was good enough, but people had very little to work with. And there were some great talented actors to the casting list, but ultimately no one really shined on the screen.
This im afraid this is iver a void or watch film if you intend to watch this film, like I said it ok in part but it like the film disaster movie spoof that just doesn't come off funny, the only funny thing for me was the out takes.

Dislikes : The only thing with spoof movies is once you seen one the rest just become the same old jokes & there is nothing new to seriously make you fall out of your chair laughing. Personally I would avoid this film if you looking a laugh's.

Overall : Dose try to hard to be funny but it not side splitting laugh out funny, but it just slightly ok
 
Rating:  3 out of 5 for Entertainment / 3.2 out of 10 for funny moment/storyline
