the comment we discovered is the size of
New York City how I seen this before
it’s the size of Texas mr. president yes
yes sir
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
copycat movies hero dance challenged by
Avis for this list we chosen movies that
were released within a year of each
other and it had scarily similar plot
lines we’ve ranked them based on how
alike they really are and just so you
know there are a few spoilers ahead so
spoiler alert initiate the fantasy here
you go number 10 Mirror Mirror and Snow
White and the Huntsman premise Snow
White’s fairy tale gets a modern twist
as the pale princess battles the vain
Evil Queen mera mera mole
obviously this ain’t the first no white
movie but one per summer is enough
Mirror Mirror is the lighter and more
traditional take while Huntsman offers a
gritty action-packed retelling of the
tale that seemed to resonate more with
fans however both got iffy reviews so
neither is considered the fairest of
them all posed ray number nine The
Illusionist and the prestige a magician
premise a 19th century European stage
magician is locked in a life-or-death
competition with a noble rival new trick
can be duplicated right mr. cutter home
ultimately these flicks are pretty
different but they’re both lavish period
pieces with stellar casts that received
comparably favorable reviews and Oscar
nods but a battle between Batman and
Wolverine as scripted by director
Christopher Nolan ultimately won at the
box office
gee we wonder why I’ve never said
anything of that kind number eight paul
blart mall cop and observe and report
you
premise a loser mall security guard
falls for a ditzy mall employee and must
prove his worth by stopping a crime in
an epic mall showdown these movies are
completely different except they’re both
about mall cops is that not a weirdly
specific shared premise for films
released months apart
no I’m drunk the Seth Rogen flick is
decidedly darker than its
family-friendly brother however even
with Apple reviews Kevin James managed
more box office doh
are you gonna have pie not tonight mom
I’m just kidding y’all come on spy
number seven mission to Mars and red
planet premise in the not so distant
future a manned mission lands on Mars
but something goes terribly wrong
and they must fight to get home both
were inspired by a NASA Mars mission
both are throw away blockbusters with
big-name talent both earned terrible
reviews and both get the science wrong
but only red planet was so bad its
director never worked in Hollywood again
you are not who I thought you are
consolation prize
most people consider mission to Mars
unwatchable hey listen I don’t like it
any more than you do
number six Dante’s Peak and volcano
premise as a volcano erupts the hero
struggles to escape while saving as many
people as possible these natural
disaster flicks were both considered
flops in monetary terms but volcano is
by far the more Hollywood of the two
with grandiose effects and cheesy
blockbuster style dialogue disasters
what life become on Eila star is being
chased through the streets by ash and
lava makes great Hollywood fare
scientific accuracy be damned
number 5 Gordy and babe premise a plucky
and talkative piglets parent is sent to
the slaughterhouse
so the youngin makes friends to survive
and eventually meets life’s challenges
head-on Oh beautifully done I can’t tell
you how grateful I am to y’all this
ain’t even subtle to talking Pig movies
in the same summer 90s kids were scared
away from their pork chop dinners by
both these flicks but only one took home
an Oscar and spawned a sequel while the
other was almost universally panned I do
not agree
forget Gordy he’s history that little
pig
number four The Truman Show and EDTV
premise an average joe’s life is
televised for the masses 24/7 reality TV
was in its infancy and Hollywood
capitalized on it with not one but two
voyeurism based flicks in this case
there’s a far and away winner the Jim
Carrey vehicle is miles ahead of its
counterpart both in execution and
premise as it ask some serious
existential questions as truman grew up
we were forced to manufacture ways to
keep him on the island and TV alone
might have been a respectable film but
it pales in comparison number three Deep
Impact and Armageddon premise a world
threatening space object is on a
collision course with earth so a team
goes into space to blow it up with nukes
it’s a bit complicated so we’ll take
some time so I hope you will bear with
me there’s one crucial difference here
Bruce Willis’s ultimate sacrifice saves
the world from Armageddon while Robert
Duvall’s team cannot prevent the Deep
Impact
considering Bruce and been raped in way
more box office millions we guess
audiences prefer a happier ending and
hotter stars and she’s your dialogue do
you think it’s possible than anyone else
in the world us doing this very same
thing at this very same I hope so
otherwise what the hell are we trying to
say number two no strings attached and
friends with benefits two people should
be able to have sex like they’re playing
tennis premise two mega attractive young
professionals start a casual sex
relationship and accidentally fall in
love it’s things to be confused about
both female leads were in Black Swan no
strings attached is the name of an NSYNC
album but not the GT movie and Mila and
Ashton are a couple in real life but not
on-screen clearly you’re gonna fall in
love with me
fYI just Ana Mila did better at the box
office with the slightly raunchy or flip
number one ant and a bug’s life it seems
to me that you ants are forgetting your
place premise in a colony where
individualism is rejected one
nonconformist ant challenges the status
quo you’re lower than dirt urine can’t
you useless ungrateful maggot this
copycat case was no coincidence
long story short Disney thought
DreamWorks stole the idea and a bitter
dispute ensued what are you bitching
about whether or not that’s true both
computer animated flicks features star
studded cat however ones decidedly edgy
err ultimately a bug’s life made more
moolah
but ants got slightly better reviews so
it’s a tie I hate it when someone gives
away the ending do you agree with our
list I don’t think so

vu for more top tens about your favorite
flicks be sure to subscribe to
