(*you knew this was coming)
Set
in the most depressing corner of a post-apocalyptic future, our hero
Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) volunteers to take her manipulative
younger sister’s place in the 75th 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 footlong sub at a six-inch
price, and a partially-eaten pickle!
In The Starving Games, Friedberg
and Seltzer’s sixth cinematic spoof of popular 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.
The Starving Games stars
Maiara Walsh (“Switched at Birth”) as Kantmiss Evershot, the eagle-eyed
archer whose bravery and skills inspire the masses along with trending
topics on Twitter®; Cody Allen Christian (“Surrogates,” “Pretty Little
Liars,”) as Peter Malarkey, the geeky young man who volunteers alongside
Kantmiss; Brant Daugherty (“Dancing with the Stars,” “Pretty Little
Liars,” “Days of Our Lives”) as Dale, Kantmiss’s beau who’s left behind
to watch – and simmer; Ross Wyngaarden (“Bonnie & Clyde: Justified”)
as Marco, a ruthless player handy with a blade; Dean West (“Monster
Hunters”) as Seleca, the game’s controller and Diedrich Bader (Vampires Suck, Meet the Spartans)
