A false, absurd, or distorted representation of something:
It actually helps that travesty is part of an alternate definition of parody;
An imitation or version of something that falls far short of the real thing; a travesty:
A bad parody falls short of its parody genre, and simply becomes a cheep imitation of the original thing it tried to parody. That puts two counts of travesty on the docket.
It is also interesting that travesty is rooted in overdressing:
travesty (n.) 1670s, "literary burlesque of a serious work,"
from adjective meaning "dressed so as to be made ridiculous, parodied, burlesqued" (1660s),
from French travesti "dressed in disguise," past participle of travestir "to disguise" (1590s),
from Italian travestire "to disguise," from Latin trans- "over" (see trans-) + vestire "to clothe" (see wear (v.)).
Of course, overdressing didn't happen in the movie, but at least the review featured the Easter Bunny at strategic moments. What the review failed to mention was that the sole purpose of the movie was to tweak tits and brandish booties, which it achieved with pornographic perfection.

The fallacy of imitative form. (Whoops, that's four words.)
