Summary: BEST NEO-MALL MOVIE
Review: (revised: 6/24/02)

Fantastic.

Some movies are simply stupid.

This movie is so stupid, it's divine.

Surely this is the best neo-mall movie to hit the silver screens above the sticky floors of darkened mini-theatres since KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE.

The Wayans Bros. have created a slap in the face for Hollywood unmatched, in its way, since SUNSET BOULEVARD.

Touche`!

Summary: Awful, and NOT cuz I'm a prude
Review: This movie was boarderline unwatchable. I'm not one of those people who thinks that stupid equates to funny. I never laughed once at this movie, except maybe when the masked guy calls and says "whassup!?!", but I saw that in the ads anyway.

This isn't the case of people not liking a movie becase it was "too cutting edge" or some stupid [stuff] like that. I laughed myself silly at "Something About Mary", "Road Trip", and the "American Pie" movies. I love "Airplane!" and those other spoofs. But this was not funny! This was just useless [junk]. It was exactly what a couple of 14 year old kids would write if they were ever given the opportunity to write a movie.

It takes a tremendous ammount of talent and intellegence to make a funny "stupid" movie. This is NOT one of those movies. It tries to make up for it's shorcomings by being shocking and gross. It fails miserably, however. It's gross just for the sake of being gross. There's no humor at all in anything that happens. This is the height of useless, gratuitous, garbage. I feel like I wasted 2 prescious hours of my life watching this. Please don't make the same mistake I did.

Summary: Nonsense Glorified !
Review: This is a movie that spoofs the nonsense in other movies, specifically I Know What you did Last Summer. I havent seen Scream or I Know... but the references are unmistakably funny.

The humor is downright sexist and crude, but its really hilarious when compared with the original movie. The scenes where the case is told that 'someone knows' is downright crude and rubbish... and is hilarious in the creativity of the story writers. The opening sequence is another classic in spoofing. This movie is made on the lines of Mad comix, so if you like the humor there, you will enjoy this.

Best seen with a group of friends, preferably male, and to be seen after seeing I Know... and Scream. Ideal for a weekend of nonsense and chilling at home!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Deleted Scenes are hysterical.
Review: When I saw Scary movie in the theater, I had some chuckles with the shock humor take on Scream but there are two scenes that were deleted and now appear in the DVD that are the BEST.

One has Shorty and his girlfriend up in the bedroom and he wants to have sex with her but she is scared with all the murders happening. He assures her that it is okay and she inquires that if they are going to DO IT then he better have protection. What follows is a hysterically funny sexual encounter with the two characters while they are holding guns to warn off any lurking murderer.

The second deleted scene has to do with the other Waynan's brother who has homosexual tendencies. He is on the football field and starts yelling the Hut #s before the play but seems to like saying "HUT 69" over and over and over again. These two scenes cracked me up and made the movie for me - I only wish they hadn't been cut out of the original but I am glad that they are on the DVD because they are hilarious!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very funny but not for everyone
Review: Having suddenly remembered that Shannon Elizabeth is in this movie, I decided to watch it for a second time. I enjoyed it much more this time than I did originally. Surely, it is incredibly stupid and rather tasteless, but there are several laughs for every grimace. I imagine that this movie would be much funnier in a movie theater with a bunch of other people around you, but it's still a hoot when viewed solo. Anna Farris plays her leading role well; I love her Drew Barrymore-ish mannerisms. Carmen Electra's cameo gets the movie off and going at an appropriately funny, spoofish level, and the Wayans are as funny as ever. I love Shannon Elizabeth, but her final scene did seem a little over the top even for this kind of silly film. For me personally, the scenes featuring the permanently doped up Shawn Wayans character are the funniest in the film, especially when the killer joins his bong party.

I enjoy trying to figure out just what is being spoofed when. If you know nothing about the Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer movies, you almost certainly will find this film inane, but the fact is that all kinds of things are spoofed. A horror fan such as myself can even spot some rather obscure references to such flops as Thinner. If I live to be 100, I will still find the whole Whaaaazup gimmick hysterical. I noticed a lot more little nuances on this second viewing, such as the names of the beers in the refrigerator, so I think the people who enjoy this movie can have some fun watching it more than once. A lot of people will simply not like this movie; if you don't enjoy horror or juvenile humor, then you shouldn't buy it (unless you have to have it simply because Shannon Elizabeth is in it). I dare anybody not to laugh at some point in the movie, but you probably need to have a somewhat twisted sense of humor and a natural affinity for horror in order to really enjoy yourself. If you think you won't like Scary Movie, then you're probably right.

Summary: Stupid Movie, not scary
Review: What do you get when a couple of guys decide to make a raunchy, plotless teen movie that spoofs slasher films aimed at those with short attention spans? This movie, unfortuantly. Basically, a group of brats is stalked by a freak in a hood and scream mask. He kills them one by one in various supposed to be funny situtaions These include knifing them in public and hiting them with his car. Various other things happen, most of which are a waste of time.

This spoof is bad, mainly because it becomes what it makes fun of: no-brainer teen movies. All of the characters are anoying, obnoxious, or both. The part of this film that satisfied me the most was the ending. The movie does contain a few scenes that are very funny, but this film is a little too raunchy. I don't care if you enjoy reading German sex magazines in gas station bathrooms: Scary Movies goes overboard. Too many four letter words are in the script, resulting in the character's lines just coming off as lame rather than funny. All in all, Scary Movie's script sounds like it was written by a high school drama department for the Jerry Springer show.

Another point I would like to make clear, is that this film was produced after Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th. Shriek is reputed to be better, or so I had heard. When I watched it, I found that is 100% correct. And it went straight to television. Personally, I think that says nothing good for the entertainment industry today.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Perhaps the stupidest movie of all time
Review: The main problem with 'Scary Movie' is that it attempts to parody a movie that was already a parody - 'Scream'. Whilst Scream reinvented the horror movie, 'Scary Movie' feels like a cash-in. Indeed, even it's name is the original title for 'Scream'. The plot is very simply: it's basically a rehash of recent horror movies, but in particular 'Scream' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. A few other spoofs are thrown in their too, such as 'Sixth Sense' and 'The Matrix', to add to the mix.

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't completely illogical and simply not funny. The jokes are all as crude as they come, with sex and breaking wind seeming to be the main themes. Although there's plenty here that might well have been a guilty pleasure every single joke is taken too far, especially an overlong death sequence where a pretty blonde girl does her best impression of Rose McGowan. About half and hour into the movie you're already bored. If you need to have seen the movies it spoofs then you already know the plots of them too, and as this simply apes them then there's nothing really here that will surprise you.

If you like gross-out comedy then maybe you'll like this, but American Pie and There's Something About Mary did it so much better.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Stupid......but funny
Review: Scary Movie is a spoof of recent horror movies (I Know what you did Last Summer, Scream, Scream 2, The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project)
and it even makes fun of non-horror films like (The Usual Suspects,
Titanic and The Matrix). When it's not making fun of movies though
it's making fun of everything else, how this movie round up with an
R-Rating and isn't NC-17 is beyond me because I don't think I've seen
so many penis jokes, gay jokes, or racist jokes in one movie. Scary Movie
offers alot of laughs but what got me giggling the most was the special-ed
student and part-time security guardd Doofy, the retarted deputy who's
obviously poking fun at Dewey from Scream. He was the showstealer
for me because all his lines were just hilarious and were delivered
great by Dave Sheridan. Also good in their roles are Shawn
Wayans as a gay football player who slaps the butt of each player
as they go by in the lockerroom, Marlon Wayans as a pot smoking horror
film buff. Newcomer Anna Faris as Cindy gets alot of laughs as well.
She has alot of funny scenes where she actually pokes fun at herself
alot of times in the movie and is just totally natural about it which
makes her scenes work even better. If you thought (There's Something
About Mary, American Pie or Road Trip) were raunchy well then you've
seen nothing until you've seen Scary Movie. Don't get me wrong some
jokes don't work but most of them do. Scary Movie is the funnest time
I've ever had at the movies, I can't recall the last time I laughed
so hard. It's the first time I can actually say that I really enjoyed
a stupid movie.
