Summary: waste of money
Review: This movie was just a waste of money. Just plain nasty and not very funny either. I'm extremely sorry that I had to sit through it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please let me die
Review: I know there are a lot of people out there who will tell you things like "this movie is hilarious" or "It's a masterpiece" or "I watched this movie one night and the next day the cyst was gone!" Don't listen to them. This movie is the embodiment of what's wroong with the modern american comedy. The jokes are WAY too obvious. There is absolutely no subtlety whatsoever in this movie. Instead of the subtle, intelligent kind of humor we see in movies like "Annie Hall" and "Tootsie", we find a battering-ram-at-the-castle-gates kind of humor, wherein they beat you over the head with the comedy without generating even one honest, genuine chuckle. Gone are the days of wittier spoofs like "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun." Instead, we have this load of gross-outs and fart jokes that actually succeeds at being less funny than the Carrot Top movie. And you know what the worst part is? It's still a better movie than anything Adam Sandler ever made. Groan.

Summary: I didn't like this movie at all
Review: I can sit through most movies I rent and even if I don't really care for them, I still think of them as ok. But I really didn't like this movie at all. I wanted to stop watching it about 1/4 of the way through. The only reason I didn't stop watching it was because from the previews it looked like something I would really like. I thought it was tasteless, disgusting and plain old stupid. Maybe some people like this type of movie, but I definitely don't. It's not often that I get fooled by previews of a movie. This time I did. I had to give it one star because that was the minimum. I would give it zero if I could.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Should have been called "stupid movie"
Review: I like movies that spoof others as much as the next girl... or even just dumb humor.. Otherwise i wouldn't have watched SNL for so many years and Airplane, Fletch, Naked Gun, There's something about Mary..

But, this movie was not funny except for maybe the quick cameo and the guy who was gay and trying (sort of) to act like he wasn't..

Everything else.. the excessive farting stuff the bats in the underwear, blah blah blah.. bored me.. I started cleaning my room halfway through. Not for me.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Should be entitled "Stupid Movie!"
Review: One would know the plot of Scary Movie if he/she has seen Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, but this is not why I consider the movie ridiculous.

The movie starts out funny in the beginning, but as one gets to the middle, it gets stupider by the minute. To add another comment, the end of the movie made absolutely no sense.

After finishing my viewing of the movie, I checked out some deleted scenes, which were also stupid except for one. The one deleted scene that even came close to funny involved sex...between Wayans' character and a female. One would have to view the scene to know why it's the funniest one.

In conclusion, despite the few funny scenes in the movie, it is not worth buying. A lot of money would be saved just renting it if one even bothers to view it at all.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not very scary but kind of nasty
Review: I've been avoiding reviewing this video because the dialog is sort of crude. To be more specific (bleep this out if you want) when that girl says "oops I farted" I became nauseated. Not my kind of flick I lost interest about half-way through and turned it off.

That phoney ghost just makes me want to puke.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A shabby take-off of Airplane! and Naked Gun
Review: Similar in spirit to Wayans' cult classic "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" (which, it should be mentioned, was clearly influenced by the Abrahams-Zucker-Zucker brand of spoof comedy (Airplane!, Naked Gun)), but updated to satisfy the Y2K hunger for low-brow humour. Despite the numerous moments of hilarity in the film, I found Wayans' exuberant over-reliance on toilet humour to be too tedious. I, by the way, can't wait for this brand of humour to fade away. I love low-brow humour as much as the next intellectually-stunted guy, but being crude for the sake of being crude is not the same as being crude for the sake of being funny. For example, I am bewildered as to why anyone found the flatulence bits funny. Maybe it could be funny if it was set-up and paid-off in a comedic situation, but flatulence by itself is not funny. Another example: A man in denial about his sexual orientation coming across a glory hole can potentially be very funny. However, a phallus protruding from the said hole and perforating the said man's head is not funny. In fact, it's darn near disturbing. And I was also bothered by all the mimicry of other movies. They were funny when they developed naturally from the plot, but dull and stupid when they didn't. In the latter case, those scenes mostly just sit there and preen, waiting to be acknowledged. I realize these films are nearly impossible to make well, but maybe the reason Airplane! and Naked Gun were so successful was because their creators did not limit themselves strictly to grossing out their audience and spoofing as many films as possible.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Total ...
Review: I like movies a lot and I'll sit through almost anything. Thus, "Scary Movie" achieved something very rare when it got disgusting enough to make me turn it off and put the DVD back into the rental box. If you are looking for a totally tasteless flick, this is for you. As a comedy, it has a rare funny moment (in the first hour I saw), but you can find far better ways to spend your time. On the positive side, I see it has a sequel out. Most sequels are inferior to the original, but I don't think that can happen in this case.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh brother
Review: How could the makers of this film get away with this trash? The humor is sophomoric and at times disgusting. The film makers rely on terrible gross out gags for laughs with terrible results. I can not stand this film. Nobody should be forced to sit through this landfill.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stupid Fun
Review: In this day and age I like to watch movies that help me forget about all the problems of the world and just laugh. This is one of them. It truly shows how moronic the slasher films are. Maybe they went a bit excessive on the bathroom humor but that can be overlooked. I rarely stopped laughing from start to finish and now own this movie and have watched it several times. I recommend this movie to lift your spirits when you are feeling down because beleive me, you will laugh.
