Stupid Movie (2022 film)

Stupid Movie (also known as "Stupid Movie: The Musical") is a 2022 Mexican-American musical animated adult black comedy parody film. It is a rap/rock opera musical that lampoons common tropes seen in teen films and parodies certain Disney Renaissance movies. It is inspired by the films Meet The Feebles, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, and K-12. It also lampoons the flaws of certain direct-to-video sequels from Disneytoon Studios released during the mid 90s-mid 2000s.

In 2023, it got a prequel, Alma's Epic Movie.

While it is rated R, there's not a spoken use of "fuck" in this film (though there is a bleeped out use of it in the post-credits scene).

Scene 1
In 2022, LEON, a sophomore at Smarties University, a fictional university in a fictional neon-themed area in Utah, wakes up and gets ready for school. On his way to school, the opening musical number comes in ("We Can't Wait"). It then skips to after school when LEON meets up with his band, dank meembers, only to find out he's been kicked out.

Scene 2
One day, LEON comes to school only to find out that a 6-hour long pep rally is taking place at the school, instead of the usual routine. LEON gets bored 20 minutes in, thinking of escaping. However, he tries to come up with a strategy due to the fact that there are security guards blocking almost all exits.

A popular boy on the freshmen's side of the bleachers holds up a sign saying "ANYONE WANT TO SEE MY COLLECTION OF OLD FLIPPHONES?", which causes most of the audience to run over to him. LEON notices the security guards trying to stop the sudden crowd of students, opening his opportunity to escape, so he heads down the bleachers and out the nearest door. Shortly after, the security guards force everyone back in their seats and give the popular boy detention.

The cheerleaders continue their dance, and after it ends, a frat boy asks a cheerleader for her number, and gives her a pen and paper to write it out. She writes down 800-813-5555, a fake number (boo-bie-ssss in leet speak), and gives it back to him before going back to the bleachers. Suddenly, a boy falls through the ceiling and lands on his feet in the middle of the gym. He announces that he has a song to sing. Someone throws a mic to him and he performs. ("The Worst Rap Song Ever!")

Scene 3
LEON escapes the pep rally and goes to the forest near the school. He discovers two girls smoking a weed blunt, passing it to each other, and a boy injecting himself with smack as two other boys cheer him on. LEON just sits near a tree on his phone until the five notice him. The boy doing smack tries to pester LEON into injecting himself. LEON, after refusing multiple times, runs to the parking lot and to his car, starting it up and getting out of campus. LEON decides to go to a nearby movie theatre to see a movie.

The film then takes a break from LEON and shifts focus to his cousin Leonie, another one of the main characters who is also a sophomore at Smarties University. It is revealed Leonie escaped from the gym with her friend and roommate Laveer, a freshman. A junior, Haro, offers the girls a ride back to the dorms. They accept and decide to ride in the back.

One of them girls smoking asks for a ride as well. Haro says "yes, but if you pass that back to your friend first. I don't want my passengers or I getting secondhand smoke". The girl, a freshman, then gets in the passenger's seat and introduces herself as Artemis (a nickname, not her real name). However, instead of driving back to the apartment where the dorms are located, Haro and his passengers end up making many stops.

At some point during the ride, Artemis gets bored of the silence and turns on the car's radio, only to hear a song she likes playing. Haro, however, dislikes the song and quickly inserts a Savage Garden CD. Haro and Artemis begin arguing over what music should play. It then cuts to Artemis drunkenly laughing with a hip flask in her hand, while an old-fashioned jazz song plays on the radio. Haro notices Leonie and Laveer are asleep, so he checks the time and realizes it's late at night, so he quickly drives back to the dormitory.

Haro then wakes up Leonie and Laveer and they help get the wasted Artemis back to her dorm. While Leonie and Laveer go back to their dorm, Haro goes to the frat house to attend a party there and proceeds to get wasted at the party.

Scene 4
The next day, LEON comes back to school with a disgusted expression on his face. Everyone wonders what's up with LEON. Jermaine, the drummer of dank meembers, tells everyone that it was just how LEON feels about the movie he saw yesterday. Jermaine then tells LEON that he's in tons of bad films because of his agent. LEON then responds by telling Jermaine that he needs to fire his agent. Jermaine responds with "I'll consider".

It then cuts to after school. LEON is on his way to his part-time job when suddenly a girl stops him. LEON and the unknown girl end up arguing and trying to one-up each other for a short time, before the girl suddenly asks LEON if he wants to go out with her. LEON rejects her, which results in the girl shooting him.

Scene 5
Leonie realizes she's late for school, and walks with Laveer, who is also late. On their way, two unknown girls make fun of them. They then witness the same girls making fun of another girl, before the victim retaliates with a comeback. The other two girls are unable to come up with their own comebacks and leave.

Leonie and Laveer decide to help walk the other girl to class before going to their own class. After the teacher does not show up for several minutes, the students get bored and start messing around, though it's interrupted when one of the newer teachers, Ms. Wackjob finally shows up.

Another student, Salvador, shows up late to class, apologizing to Ms. Wackjob, saying there was an emergency that he needed to lend a hand in. Ms. Wackjob does not take to this well and Salvador stands up for himself, before being seized by guards. Wackjob then demands them to take Salvador to "the room worse than Detention".

Scene 6
At lunch, a fight breaks out between Artemis and the same girl who shot LEON until it is broken up. Artemis and the unnamed girl are then taken by the guards to the room "worse than Detention" after yelling and swearing at a faculty member attempting to break up the fight.

Leonie tries to tell them that detention is enough for them and they should only limit the room that is "worse than Detention" to students with much more problematic behaviour and that it's unfair otherwise, but then the guards also take her for "talking back".

Scene 7
When Leonie, Artemis, and the unnamed girl are taken to the room "worse than Detention", realizing it is a room where offenders are forced to look at a webpage full of shock images that parodies "Offended" from Encyclopedia Dramatica while standing in numbing cold water. ("Oh God No")

3 hours later, when the four prisoners of the room "worse than Detention" are standing in place with disturbed and pained expressions, Artemis yells "OK, WE GET IT NOW! LET US OUT, DAMMIT!". Mr. Methven, the teacher in charge, then replies that they can only get out if they do something embarrassing.

As a result, the four prisoners film themselves watching a bad soap opera while loudly proclaiming that they love this show (while lying about it) and send it to Mr. Methven. After they get out, Leonie then asks Artemis "You almost always fight that girl. What do you have against her?"

Artemis reveals that the unnamed girl's real name is Shay and that they used to date until she caught Shay cheating on her with a guy named Chris. ("Fake Love")

Scene 8
Salvador and his boyfriend Rhett are walking in the halls when someone comes out of a nearby room and tells Rhett he needs to have a private talk with him. Salvador then waits for him nearby the doors. While Salvador is waiting, another young man, Brand, walks through the halls writing in his diary about how he has joined the student council and is now planning to take over the school and enslave all the students to convince The Devil that he is worthy of hiring.

He then comes across Salvador and then takes out a new contract, pretending it's a petition and demands he signs it. Salvador asks what the petition is for, and after Brand explains it, Salvador signs it. He and Brand are then transported to a strange room with a rapidly flashing background before suddenly coming back. Rhett then comes out of the room and tries to talk to Salvador (now being mind-controlled by Brand), but then Salvador starts berating Rhett before they are interrupted by an explosion and knocked out. Brand then loses control of Salvador.

The three then wake up in an odd room with several other students. Brand leaves before Mr. Methven enters the room. Mr. Methven then tells everyone that they need to speak in a way that won't be "offensive", and teaches everyone what to say instead. ("Be More Woke")

Scene 8
Later that night, Jermaine finds his old Wii in the house dank meembers members share and asks his stepbrothers (sans Brand and Chris), cousins, sister, and friends if they want to play with him. Haro asks him "didn't you throw the Wii out of the window over ten years ago?". We then get a flashback to late 2009, where 11 year old Jermaine throws the same Wii out of the window for malfunctioning before angrily shouting obscenities at it. 10 year old Chris, 9 year old Rhett, 7 year old Kenji, 7 year old Haro and 6 year old Laveer stand there frozen. Laveer then says "the wii is being a big dumb piece of shit" before being scolded by the other four. The flashback ends and Jermaine then mentions the Wii still worked perfectly when he retrieved it, the only damage it received being a crack on its side.

They then start playing some Wii while talking about how they noticed the new members of the staff and student council seem to be manipulative and controlling. Joe decides to give his Wiimote to Jackie (one of Jermaine's stepbrothers) before going outside and to the balcony. ("They're All Gonna Laugh At Us!")

Scene 9
Jack is about to play on a fictional game show called "Pick Your Poison" with 2 other students, Laken and Aaron Airson. The three choices are to spend one whole night in a room full of spiders, to have all of their cold drinks have antifreeze in them for a day, or to only watch boring generic Hallmark movies (and no other movies) for 3 days.

Aaron Airson chooses to spend the night in the spider room. Jack chooses to only have antifreeze, stating "at least I won't die like I would be if I weren't in this show". Laken chooses to watch the Hallmark movies, stating "I'll have something to keep myself busy while sitting through them."

One of the two hosts on the game show then claims she'll add a twist in the game by "finding a way to make it even harder for our three contestants", but it suddenly cuts to static before what she plans to do is revealed.

The students of the scarypasta club then appear on TV and sing a song. ("GO TO NAPSVILLE!")

Scene 10
Leonie, Laveer, and Adrian are walking down the halls when Laveer stops, and suddenly runs off, yelling "DAMMIT! I FORGOT SOMETHING!". The two then stand, a little confused, before a teacher forces them to go back to their classes. As they walk back, they come across Jack with a disturbed expression on his face.

The movie then shifts focus to LEON, who wakes up soaked outside while a thunderstorm is occuring. He gets up, then wonders why he's suddenly outdoors before spotting Shay, who is a few miles away from him. He screams and starts running. He then looks behind him again, and then keeps running before tripping and falling.

He then asks "Why can't you move on?" as Shay gets closer. Then it's revealed to be a dream after Haro and Jermaine shake him awake.

It then cuts to the students in the gym. As the gym teacher explains to the students about what they'll be doing today, a bored Joe presses the play button on a nearby CD player. A song then plays and everyone starts dancing ("The Cool Song").

Scene 11
There is a wild party at the frat house. Everyone is drunk and/or high (including some student council members attending), while LEON, Leonie, Jermaine, Haro, and Joe are not due to the fact they're on a mission to collect information about a top-secret plan from the student council members.

A drunk person then offers Joe a cup of vodka, insisting that it's Crystal Pepsi. He takes it, drinks the whole cup, and gets drunk. Jermaine stops and notices sizzurp is being served at the party. He starts drinking it, which eventually causes him to get high.

Haro is annoyed, reminding the others that they promised not get distracted from the mission by getting drunk/high. LEON then insists they continue the mission without Jermaine and Joe and that they'll pick them up later.

Meanwhile at the party, Joe finds out his brother Russell is also at the party. All of the partygoers eventually pass out from getting wasted. When they wake up, Sheldon, a student council member, notices he is sleeping next to Russell with their arms wrapped around each other. He is disgusted and writes a post containing homophobic slurs on social media.

Scene 12
Joe and Russell confront Sheldon about the homophobic post he made online. Several other students notice and watch the argument take place. One blurts out that Sheldon is just gay in denial. Russell and Joe then sing a song about it, the other students eventually joining in. ("You Are Gay (Very Gay)") However, the song ends when one of the professors forces everyone to go to class.

Later at midnight, Joe wakes up and goes on his phone to check his text messages. One of them happened to be a text message stating that he is indeed gay. Sheldon then plans to blackmail Joe into sending him dick pics.

Scene 13
Leonie, Laveer, Laken, Cecilia, and Artemis are talking to each other in a room. They're talking about their plans to help distract some of the newer student council members.

Laveer then brings up another upcoming party that will happen in the frat house, and mentions how she's seen some of the newer student council members attend frat parties. She then gives more details about the parties, such as how the girls are encouraged to wear revealing clothes while the boys are encouraged to go shirtless, both to please each other.

It then cuts to them at the mall checking out some clothes and buying them.

Scene 14
Early in the morning, an angry mob is protesting in front of the dank meembers house, complaining about their music being "too emo" and "too gay". A tired Jermaine shows up at the doorstep, which suddenly causes the crowd to go silent.

He then tells them that if they don't like it, they don't have to listen to it. Before he can go back inside, the crowd starts yelling again, which causes him to face them again. Jermaine, now annoyed, shows his ass to the crowd, flips them the bird, and then goes back inside.

The angry mob then find Brand behind them, revealing that they're his followers. They worry he'll be mad at them, but he just tells them they can try again another day. They then go to a nearby bush that leads to Brand's secret hideout. They then think of a new plan ("What A Pussy").

Scene 15
The girls are going to the party at the frat house, now in more revealing clothes (sans Leonie, who's just going in an off-shoulder shirt with a tank top underneath, shorts with leggings underneath, and trainers). They notice that some of the newer student council members are there

Controversy
After the film's first trailers appeared, the group One Million Moms called for boycotts against the films and started petitions to have it canned, the reason being "inappropriate for children" and "promoting the homosexual agenda". The director, Alma Galán, responded by telling them "The promotional material for the film clearly states the film is not for children. If you can't accept that not all animation is for kids, then you can fuck off. I'm not gonna bend over backwards to cater to a bunch of dumb soccer moms who can't watch their kids, I can make it as gay as I want."
