Summary: Pretty funny spoof...
Review: It's about time slasher movies were poked fun at. They're such an old, abused form of horror. "Scary Movie" is a funny parody of the formula that works well. While much of the humor is sick and vulgar, it doesn't get over-excessive like the awful "Not Another Teen Movie." We get pot-shots at spooky flicks like "Scream," "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "The Sixth Sense," as well as jabs at "The Usual Suspects," "Baywatch," and "Kazaam." The plot is appropriately ridiculous and the humor is uproariously funny. "Scary Movie" is the best of the recent film parodies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: INVENTIVE AND FUNNY
Review: I really liked this movie. The humour is black and extreme with some really funny scenes. The pace is quick with no slack or bad bits. It cruises along effortlessly with good performances, scripting and acting. It reminds me of just how ridiculous and formularised these horror movies really are. Some of the jokes are really bad taste ( think Me , Myself and Irene) so if you like that sort of stuff this ones for you. It takes a swipe at almost every stereotype, the virgin, the jock, the homosexual, the cheerleader and the ejaculation scene is unexpectadly wild ( as is the dick in the ear scene). Laugh yourself silly.

Summary: brain dead
Review: tedious, regurgitating half digested bits of existing horror movies, this is strictly for morons

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst movie Iv'e ever seen!
Review: The actors,(characters)in this movie are terrible.They have absolutely no talent at all!This movie is total teenage garbage.It's almost like MTV made this terrible movie!The jokes aren't funny at all(they are stupid), and it wasn't well done at all! If you like to pretend that dumb MTV movies(garbage) are funny then you'll love this movie(or at least pretend)in front of your friends. If you are smart then you will realize that this is a terrible film that's not funny at all.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Tried way too hard...
Review: Ok, guys, here's the deal. If you're really into horror movies (as opposed to thrashing them, like me), have religiously watched every major horror movie in the 90's, and don't wanna take yourself so seriously, then this certainly is for you. I'm sure that, an avid fan of "Scream" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with a really filthy mouth and raunchy sense of humor would enjoy this flick. Personally, I found it too...coerced. The funny scenes in the movie, excluding the ones about sex, were just hammed up too much and over-scripted to be funny, except if you absolutely LOVE Adam Sandler and are used to this approach. In my opinion, if you want parody movies, look up Mel Brooks, or that "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist"...or just rent the "Dentist 2" or "The Ice Cream Man" and do your own MST3K.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Hilarious!
Review: To say the least the box office hit "Scary Movie" is a cult phenomenon! It's so funny that you will pass out from all the laughter! The cast is absolutely superb, (which I wish David Cross would've been in this), as well as the jokes. Very few fall flat. It's the usual Keenan Ivory Wayans (Dont Be A Menace, Scary Movie 2) slapstick humor which will leave you with a belly ache! IF you missed this, then pick up a copy, I promise you will love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary Movie
Review: Just when you thought Mafia and Wrongfully Accused ended the entire genre, along comes Scary Movie. I am glad it did! It spoofs movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. A great cast supports the movie, even though there are a few suggestive scenes. Great if you're in a down mood, and is sure to entertain. I personally like this better than Scary Movie 2, probably because Carmen Electra doesn't come back. I have two words of advice for EVERYONE out there. See it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scary Movie should have been stupid movie
Review: Most parodies are quite funny and amusing. This is is not one of them. The jokes are [bad]and the acting ...well it stinks. The doofey charachter is awfull and the but jokes seem to be the only redeeming quality. ... Not Recomended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Could be better...
Review: Scary Movie is a pretty damn funny movie! However, I felt there were many gags in this movie that could be put into any movie.

The plot is simple, but it's good to watch this movie when you're tired so you don't have a complicated plot to follow. I almost gave this movie 3 stars, but remembered the bathroom scene with the hole!!! That alone just earned a star. This movie contains some pretty crude/sexual content, but that's what makes it funny.

I'm not saying this is one of my favorite movies (because it's not) but it's definitely fun and good to watch at sleepovers, and not parents!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: NOT 'Scary'
Review: I thought I was going to watch a real scary movie, but I got this horrible spoof instead. Wait, it was horrifyingly bad, ha! From "Scream" to "The Blair Witch Project," I was thorougly agitated with this smelly film. The Wayans brothers usually make me laugh, but not this time. Good thing Damon skipped this piece of vomit. The film tries to be clever by using the plot of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Scream," but loses its originality with too many kielbasa sausage jokes. The most horrifying scene showed Ms. Mann and its secret. I don't remember laughing or even smiling during this movie. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, who has done better working with Steven Seagal, also stars, Shannon Elizabeth and Shawn and Marlon Wayans. Too bad such talent came together for this wasted movie...
