Summary: Pure comedic blast!
Review: When I'm watching a comedy, I expect it to make me laugh, and if it's a good comedy, then I come out with tears in my eyes and pains in my stomach from laughing at the way it tickles me. "Scary Movie" is one such movie, and is, by far, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It made me laugh in ways I never thought possible, and yes, it is overly gross and nasty, but that's just part of its good fun. The laughs keep coming, the cast knows just how to work the material, and the material itself is fall-down funny.

The plot is a mix-and-match of the teenage horror franchises that have dominated the big screen in the latter years of the last decade. It combines comedic send-ups of storylines from the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movies, the "Scream" trilogy, and "The Blair Witch Project." But to try and summarize it without giving it all away, a girl in the beginning gets killed while getting ready to watch a video, and the kids who knew her at school think it has something to do with the guy that they killed exactly one year ago in their car. As the bodies begin to pile up, the laughs come aplenty, and you'll find yourself laughing at every minute of it.

The plot uses a lot of gross-out jokes and toilet humor to bring out the laughs of the parodical situations, which brings the audience to a cross-roads of sorts. Either you laugh at it and enjoy it, or be grossed out by it and dislike the whole thing; with a movie like this, there's really no in between. I found myself laughing my way the entire way through, at pretty much every joke there is to laugh at. Whether it was Shannon Elizabeth incorporating her vanity and wanna-be intellectual attitudes into her role, or comic genius Cheri Oteri's hilarious portrayal of Gail Hailstorm, our favorite reporter who stops at nothing to get her story, the movie kept me entertained in a fashion and style I never thought possible.

The parodies pretty much everything you've seen and heard from the popular teen horror movies mentioned above. One scene even pokes fun at the way in which the ages of the characters of these movies do not match the ages of the actors cast for the roles. Another takes place in a movie theater, reminiscent of the opening sequence in "Scream 2," only this time the girl deserves what she gets. Telling more will only ruin what has become a very popular and outrageous parody.

The cast knows what they are doing right from the get-go; they know how to work the material, and they look like they're having fun doing it, too. With the talents of John Abrahams, Carmen Electra, Shannon Elizabeth, Cheri Oteri and so many more, there is never a dull moment here; it is simply that funny!

The reason for such a short review: too many surprises to be given away if it were any longer! The movie has so many funny moments that sometimes blinking will result in something missed out on. The jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, the cast is bright and peppy, the plot is tremendously entertaining and engaging, and it just plain rocks.

Summary: The Teen Scene Movie
Review: Scary Movie. What a name huh? Because, unless you are a total whimp, there was nothing scary about this movie. It was however, an outragesly funny movie for the young (12+) at heart. The scenes portray such as Scream (1,2,3), I know..., Blair Witch, and many more. The actors and actresses are also made fun of in this entertaining flick.

Now, this is a movie for teens and adults younger than 40. Some "adults" won't enjoy this. But I know my mother of 39, liked this movie and certainly did get a good laugh out of it! So, if you are in the mood for a "teeny" style flick, you'll like it. Even more so, if you have seen all the "Scary Movies" that they poke fun at.

One warning however, this movie is not for those people who think things should be "proper, and respectible" but for those who absolutely love stupid (George of the Jungle) or wacky sexual pics, you should enjoy it.

Not the best review, I know. But hey, It gets the point accross. I liked it, I'm 19 and I think normal people who aren't real bent up about sexuality and stuff, should see it.

Blessings~~~

Summary: Waaaazzuuuuup!!
Review: So thats where that saying comes from. This movies takes the sheer mickey out of all the teen scream movies of the 90s era... and does it well. Basing it's storyline on the Scream series, you get a storyline that becomes so funny that you know sequels are going to be made...Even if they said it's not going to happen. (of course it has, twice).
The opening scene with Carmen Electra is a real hoot and as for the bedroom scene in the middle...

Summary: Ultimately Disgusting, and only Occasionaly Humerous
Review: This film was a definately different twist to the gross out comedy genre. I will give the film that, it is different, but comedies like these lack substance and are ultimately pointless. Scary Movie was sick, and not entirely funny. The script, the idea, and the concept were not worth putting on film. It may have raked in some cash, but if the movie industry is not going to care about film quality and greatness, and only about money and box office revenue, the film industry may has well stop making movies all together. Do not see this movie if you like films that are serious and potentially could be a classic. I would reccomend this mmovie for any fan of gross out humor. Trust me there is plenty of it in this film.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Double scream. 16th arpil 2004.
Review: Seen the first, 2nd would probably be just as boring. They are rated 2 to 3 stars that isn't much and really i didn't find this briliant so the 2nd would get boring too. It is a little bit like scream, but scream is much better. Because the set is stupid on this like at the begginning, she sees the murderer and he sits laughing and it looks a little bit silly. Scream is more serious than this it is more freaky for people and scream is way better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Do Not Be Afraid...
Review: After the success of Scream and other teen-slasher movies, it wasn't too long for Hollywood to create a movie parody of the popular movie genre. Unlike previous parodies like Mafia!, Spy Hard and Wrongfully Accused, Scary Movie definitely delivers the most outrageous and hilarious comic scenes of the 2000. Director Keenen Ivory Wayans has surpassed the Farrelly brothers with the funniest, most gross-out comedy in years. If you have already seen Scream then you pretty much know the story of this movie. A group of dim-witted teens (oddly played by actors and actresses in their 20s and 30s) are being murdered by a masked maniac. The comic cast includes Marlon and Shawn Wayans, Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie), Lochlyn Munro (Dead Man on Campus) and Carmen Electra. Though the story isn't great, there are some amazing and unforgettable comic scenes that make this movie worth checking out. I admit that I'm not a fan of teen horror movies but as a movie parody, I think that this movie is great.

The Scary Movie DVD is an impressive DVD to own. The picture and sound quality is truly great. The opening title menu is quite good. There are plenty of special features including deleted scenes and numerous DVD-ROM extras. Overall, I give Scary Movie a B grade.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not just scary, there's hilarious, and crude, and . . .
Review: Scary Movie turned out what I thought it to be (a halirious movie with people getting killed off in wacky ways and silly parodies of recent horror movies) and what I didn't think it to be (showing ...ahem... small full frontal male nudity, and a major major gross scene). The Wayans have majorly beat the "There's Something About Mary" creators with the most gross-out jokes ever displayed in a movie. Anyway, Scary Movie was a good funny movie. The acting, for a parody, was great. And even though it followed Scream by every scene almost, there were other movies parodied and mentioned. For example: I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Matrix, American Pie, The Blair Witch Project, Amistad, Shakespeare in Love, Friday the 13th, and I even caught something that dealt with The Exorcist. And how they copied Tatum's death scene was hilarious. If I say anymore, I will give out what plot here is to the movie, so I'm going to stop. Go check it out!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: what's the big deal?
Review: THE PLOT: There wasn't much of one... It's basically about these teens who accidentally kill this guy, and 2 of them go insane from it. And then, a charecter that we don't know who (I won't ruin it, but it makes no sense), starts killing people off for no apparent reason. Then, he gets away. The end.

MY OPINION: The movie was WAY overrated. Scary Movie 3 was hilarious, because it had different screenwriters. This movie was pretty much just disgusting throughout the entire thing. Skip it and move on to 3, please.

SPECIAL FEATURES: The spcieal features were almost aas bad as the movie itself (I won't go that far, because that would just be MEAN).

OVERALL RATING: D.
