A film with such a title could attempt to capitalize on similarities to The Hunger Games, either as a cheesy B-movie or as a parody. In this case, it's a parody. Does a parody just mean taking the whole story, precisely replaying scenes with different actors, shortening the whole thing a bit, and spicing it all up with jokes, some of which may even seem quite good? There is some creativity in it, but very little. This simply isn't a parody worth watching. The jokes here and there are passable, but there's nothing else to it. Parody, at least for me, shouldn't just consist of copying most of the original plot.

I believe that more could have been mined from a Hunger Games parody, but despite the overall B-movie feel, there were a few jokes. Still, 82 minutes of running time is a bit too much for me...
