Rating: Summary: Watch out for the DVD Version Review: The movie is totally great... I would buy it... if it would work! Scary Movie has a defect in it that doens't let it play on some DVD players. I know JVC, Hitachi, and other DVD players are not able to play this movie... So do some research and call your DVD player company and see if they are having problems with Scary movie as well. Hopefully the manufacturers of Scary Movie do a recall as many places have removed the DVD from the shelves because of the high return rate.
Rating: Summary: To be or not to be a rental Review: Scary Movie is extremly vulgar, and I'm suprised myself that's it's not rated NC-17. You have to have a sense of humor to enjoy it. If you don't have a immature sense of humor, don't rent/buy this movie! If you can laugh at something vulgar every once in a while, by all means, buy this movie! I thought it was hillarious myself. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it first, and if your not totally offended, buy it!
Rating: Summary: Tacky poor parody Review: I was very disappointed in this movie. There were only two funny parts and both appeared on the TV teasers for the movie (facial expression of the scream monster). This is a very poor parody of scream, with a little blair witch and exorcist thrown in. My simplest analogy would be an extremely tacky Mel Brooks type of film, but without the humor or the characters. Don't get me wrong, I like tacky, I like tasteless, and I think Mel Brooks and the Airplane/Naked Gun series are all great - but a movie has to have some humor about it. This one didn't.
Rating: Summary: An absolute riot! Review: Scary Movie rates up there with American Pie and Road Trip. Pure and clever comedy pack this movie completely. With Marlon and Shawn Wayans writing and acting in it, you can't go wrong. Several references to other movies such as Scream 1-3, and I know what you did last summer make this movie so funny. Defintely order this DVD. You won't be disappointed!
Rating: Summary: What a waste! Review: If I could use this DVD for toilet paper, at least it would provide some value to me. Because that is where this movie belongs, "in the toilet". I have never seen a movie that is so filled with insulting and degrading "so called" humor. Parts of it were so bad that I used the fast forward key numerous times. I do not mind R rated movies and I own several that I consider excellent shows. This is not an R rated movie, it should be rated X, but alas they don't have that rating anymore. To anyone who might consider buying this movie, I can give you exact directions to the local landfill where my copy will reside.
Rating: Summary: The laughs are forced on you- and not very well. Review: First, let me say that this is not my type of humor. That is my bias. That being said, Scary Movie is the type of movie that begs and pleads for you to laugh at every given moment. It almost looks like the actors just pause for an instant and wait for you to burst out into tear-filled hysteria.The movie is what it is. There's no point in saying this movie isn't intelligent-that wasn't the goal here. If you like sight-gags and parody driven plots - then rejoice because this is your movie!
Rating: Summary: Possibly the worst movie ever Review: This movie is a huge smelly mound of fresh steaming dung... Quite possibly the most hackneyed, vapid, sophomoric series of flaccid attempts at parody ever, this barrage of body function jokes is about as funny as unanesthetized root canal, and as entertaining as the Weather channel. If you are severely brain damaged from years of glue sniffing, you might crack a smile once or twice during this movie. Otherwise, don't bother...
Rating: Summary: Embarrassed to own this title Review: This movie is embarrassing to even own. I purchased it having never seen it before, and now I'm looking to sell it. There are a couple of funny parts, but that is totally overshadowed by the disgusting sight gag in the bathroom (not even funny in my opinion), and the extras on this DVD should be rated X. Don't leave this one around for your kids to watch. I guess I don't find BASE humour as funny as some do. I was hoping for some good clean fun to be poked at the scary movies but this one fails in almost all respects. This one goes TOO far.
Rating: Summary: STICK TO THE GHETTO COMEDY MOVIES! Review: I'M SUPRISED THIS MOVIE ISN'T ALL THAT DAM GREAT.NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO "DON'T BE A MENACE" THAT WAS THE BEST WAYANS FILM EVER.ANOTHER GOOD WAYAN MOVIE IS MO MONEY.DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE RECORD IT OR SOMETHING.
Rating: Summary: Yuk Review: Terrible movie. Raunchy, disgusting. Not even funny. Save your money.
