Rating: Summary: I couldn't stop laughing Review: Okay...here goes. This movie was hysterical. They got a little carried away with the gross out humor, BUT you can't help but fall out of your seat laughing. This movie parodied many movies includng Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Matrix, and The Blair Witch Project. Thw Wayans Brothers wrote a hilarious script and the actors did a wonderfully funny job pulling off this movie. The funniest parts of the movie are the parts with the "Scream" killer. Everytime he was on screen, nobody could stop laughing. I would definitely see this movie again and again, and when it comes out on DVD...I will be sure to be one of the first ones to buy it! The reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they could have eased up on the gross out sex and drug humor and stuck mainly with the parodies of the horror movies mentioned. But a really funny, really well done movie!
Rating: Summary: in a word...... hilarious Review: scary movie has to be one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long long time. One word of caution for all of you not so hip parents though.....it is NOT for children. The only problem I had with Scary movie was that the audience(myself included) laughed so hard and long that we missed some more jokes. The movie is definately a must see, especially if you like making fun of overly teenaged not so scary movies such as Scream and I know what you did last summer.
Rating: Summary: The Best Comedy Of The Year Review: Scary Movie is simply the best comedy of the year. No other comedy could compete with this very raw funny movie from the wayans. This movie has done things that other movies has never done before in the history of film (besides the male frontal nudity). Scary Movie is the highest grossing "R" rated movie in box office movie history. The movie pulled in over 144 million $ at the box office and only took about 12 million $ or less to make it. It is also the largest grossing movie by an african-american director (Keenan Ivory Wayans). I think all the success is well due to the wayans especially after the WB stupidly canceled the Wayans Bros. Show last year. Everything the wayans have done has been good and successful. From I'm Gonna Git You Sucka to In Living Color to Don't Be A Menace and everything else the wayans family has done has been highly successful for years. It should be no surprise that Scary Movie would be a success. The high grossing success of this low budget film generated was total unexpected. movie reviewers however always bash this film because there is no plot with some (male)nudity and basically because its a movie spoof. How can you bash a movie for what it is. Its a spoof, what are they looking for shakespeare or something. They should judge the movie accordingly. Compared with other famous movie spoofs such as Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Police Academy, Hollywood Shuffle, Airplane etc... it was one of the best (if not thee best)movie spoof or movie comedy for that matter that I have ever seen. The buttom line is when I went to see this movie I couldn't stop laughing along with the other people packed in the theater with me watching. I had fun watching the film and I enjoyed every minute of it. That is watch you should feel after watching a movie everytime out. Scary Movie practiculy cleaned house this summer at the box office only coming in second this year behind (the much more expensive) "Mission Impossible II" for the highest grossing movie of the year 2000. From the moment the movie starts the laughs begin until the very end when the credits are rolling. The moment this movie is available on DVD and home video to buy and rent all the video stores and all the blockbusters will be sold out. The demand for this film will be very high and I can't wait to get my copy on DVD. With the sequel coming our way next year, it looks like "Scary Movie" will be a classic spoof remembered by many world wide for years.
Rating: Summary: I Know What Blair Witch did last Halloween... or something? Review: When I first heard about the concept of this movie, I thought it was a brilliant one - so many opportunites to take the piss out of all those 90's horror flicks (and I've seen them all!)When I saw the preview I thought it looked crappy - a bit TOO silly. Well the movie was better than the preview. It's a lot of fun, and done in the same vein as Leslie Neilsen's Zucker-esque films, although not as successfully clever as those. Every little moment was created to try to be funny and crazy, so at times, it was over-kill. Some scenes made me just... jeez, what can I say? How many dickie dogs can they show in one movie? Cindy, (who played Jan in the Brady Bunch films), was great, as were the Wayans boys. One of my Saturday Night Live faves, Cheri O'Teri played Gail "Thunderstorm" so that was a bonus. It's a nice way to end and celebrate the 90's obsession with teeny slasher films. I loved them all, but even I can admit that now, it's time to move on.
Rating: Summary: Crude, Rude, and for the movie lovers too Review: well I wentt o see Scary Movie..... really looking forward to it after watching the commercials and stuff. but not knowing really what to expect. critics were all over the place on this one. Ebert gave it a thumbs up said it was funny. cranky hates these types of movies but enjoyed it.... blah blah blah.... not bad reviews I guess, TIME said it was good too. so off the SCary Movie.... (Oh yeah saw the trailer for Blair Witch 2... bought chills down my spine). well off to Scary Movie..... right off the bat it's a parody of Scream... nearly exactly the same.... with an extra fart joke here and there. hahaha the movie is gross right in the first 5 minutes .... if that grosses you out, then leave immediately... cuz it gets grosser!!!! the movie is a take on most popular movies, like I know what u did last summer, Urban Legends (I think), Scream 1 & 2, Blair Witch, Matrix and a few other movies which I won't mention. it's just joke after joke.... some work, and some don't.... the movie parodies are great... they are very perfectly timed.... my friend who was sooooo hesitant on watching it, laughed hard (the guy who told me to watch Titan AE, Gone in 60 Seconds.... ugh!) the gross factor in the movie is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! if you thought, something about Mary, Road Trip or American Pie or South Park was gross. this movie is far worse~!!! I won't spoil it.... but the sexual nature of this movie is all over the place!!!! I was grossed out like twice.... which is saying a lot!!! but all in all, if u like the Scream movies... then you'll like this.... if you can pass the gross factor. I laughed fairly hard since there were a lot of jokes I got since ethey were movie related. but the story was just a Sream parody.
Rating: Summary: A MAJOR WHOOP MOVIE! Review: THIS MOVIE WHOOPED SOME BUTT. Including "Somthing about Mary" and all the Screams. I think this was the best movie I have ever seen. It's totally a teen flick even though some parents might not approve it still definatly is. I gave it 5 stars and I also give Jon Abrahams 5 stars. HE IS SOOOOOO FINE!
Rating: Summary: Not really good.... but it is funny though Review: If you think that this is a REALLY scary movie, forget about it. If you think that you can find a good plot here, dream on. BUT, this movie is a good spoof for Matrix, I know what you did last summer, etc. The humour is not great, but it is entertaining. Don't expect this one to be a real good one, watch it when you want some humour to make your day. Don't worry, you can watch it at mid-nite because SCARY MOVIE is NOT a SCARY MOVIE.
Rating: Summary: Scary Movie may be only 2 stars, but's its funny as hell! Review: I enjoyed watching this laugh-your-but-off comedy that parodies Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. I loved it from beginning to end; there was at least three or four laughs A MINUTE! If you love comedies this is the movie to see. It's better than I expected!
Rating: Summary: "Scream" If You Saw "Scary Movie"! Review: The Wayans brothers new spoof has supriseingly little to offer. Infact,it's just a word for word copy for the original films in which it's spoofing. I only wish the Wayans would of added their own NEW material. My guess is the Wayans must have felt that the movies being spoofed were pretty funny. I don't know what else could cause the lack of originality. Take for example the first scene of the film. DON'T WORRY I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE AWAY ANYTHING! It's a repeat of what's being spoofed. Then we have the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" spoof scene which again is a word for word rip-off! The only NEW jokes added here by the Wayans has to deal with farts and male genitalia! How creative! This could of been a 4 or 5 star film but instead had little to offer. Now, don't get me wrong, cause I admit I did laugh at the movie,but I kept thinking of what could of been. Funny performances by Anna Faris(who's a Neve Campbell,Jennifer Love Hewitt type), Marlon Wayans as "Shorty",and Shannon Elizabeth as "Buffy"(You guessed it,she's the Sarah Michelle Gellar of the movie). Mosty accessible to teen and fimbuffs. Go watch this one with your friends.
Rating: Summary: Bad Movie Review: When I saw the preveiws for this movie, I thought "I'd really like to see that movie. It looks funny" Unfotunately, It wasn't funny. It was stupid and had too many disgusting jokes. And all of their disgusting jokes weren't even funny ones. It didn't seem to have anything that even resembled a story either. I know that it was supposed to be a spoof on the "I Know What you Did Last Summer" and "Scream", but they could've at least tried to incorporate a story of some kind. I did however give it 2 stars because I did laugh at 1 (maybe 2) scenes. I see lots of movies of all different types and generally like all of them, but this has to be one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time.
