Summary: Blah
Review: Simultaneously the funniest and most pathetic movie I've ever seen. How does Scary Movie accomplish that? Easy. They take some truly hilarious dialogue and sprinkle it with perhaps the most hackneyed plot and scripting ever seen in motion pictures. This movie would have been so much better if it didn't constantly make reference to the fact that they were following a script. That worked in movies like I'm Gonna Get You Sucka and Hollywood Shuffle, but Scary Movie totally overdoes it by using it as a means of progressing the "plot".

Anyway, the movie is still worth seeing only for the insanely funny killer and rips on Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Everything else should be ignored if at all possible.

Summary: It's no "Airplane."
Review: "Scary Movie" is getting a lot of comparisons to "Airplane" and its spiritual descendants, the "Naked Gun" movies. And while that's cleary what's intended, "Scary Movie" falls far short of the mark.

For one thing, the secret to the success of "Airplane" wasn't that every joke was a gem. Rather, the jokes came so fast and furious that you eventually found one that made you cry with laughter. And with multiple jokes a minute, that ended up being a pretty good amount of laughs.

"Scary Movie," though, is a Wayans brothers film, and is paced more like the superior "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka," which took on the blacksploitation film genre. In both films, a great deal of time is spent recreating an authentic environment -- much of "Scary Movie" is shot-for-shot identical to "Scream" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer" -- and inviting the audience to laugh at it. That works for "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" -- the films of the 1970s were already so ridiculous that only time and distance were needed to make them hilarious -- but not so well for "Scary Movie," as nothing's particularly funny about looking out of the back window of Carmen Electra's house and seeing the exact same shot of the backyard pool that opened "Scream." It's technically impressive, but not funny in itself.

Beyond that, the Wayans brothers this time around are obsessed with male genetalia, homosexuality and women's feelings about oral sex, with a few fart jokes thrown in. If that's the height of humor to you, grab this movie, and godspeed. But if you are hoping there's more, the bad news is that there's not much else to recommend this movie. We get some spot-on impersonations of the actors of "Scream" and IKWYDLS, some surprising non-horror spoofs tossed in (including one very nice one for when the real killer is revealed) and several scenes that have good shock value to them, but if you know they're coming, they're really not all that funny. (The movie theater bathroom scene parodying the opening of "Scream 2" could have been much funnier if the writing had actually gone farther than it did, which is unusual for a movie that doesn't otherwise ever NOT go too far.)

The biggest surprise of this movie, really, is Carmen Electra, in this film's counterpart role to that of Drew Barrymore in the original "Scream." For the first time ever, she shows that she can actually act. She also gleefully tears into her own public persona, from the men she "dates" to the secret of her career-making figure. The movie is diminished once her part ends, and -- hard to believe I'm saying this -- hopefully some director will have noticed what she does in this movie and gives her a chance to be more than a sexpot in some other film.

None of this is to say that "Scary Movie" is a bad movie -- my wife and I are big fans of the "Scream" series (well, the first two, at least), and we found this to be a fun rental -- but it just doesn't merit repeat viewings like "Airplane," "The Naked Gun" or "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" do.

This is a rental.

Summary: A steaming hot pile of crap
Review: This film is largely unsuccessful, even as a parody. I will admit, there were some moderately shocking parts (like the breast implant scene and the semen scene), which were sometimes funny, and the brief parody of The Usual Suspects was well-done, but these were few and far between. None of the characters grabbed me in any way, particularly "Doofy" - who seems to have walked right off of the bar napkin of some drunken writer. I might give this 3 stars if I was 11. For a 90-minute movie, it was 80 minutes too long. At least rent it before you buy it.

Summary: An silly spoof horror comedy.
Review: The Plot:A bunch of stupid teens accidently killed a man, while driving and hit him. Then a year is passed, a teenager was killed by a man in a costume. And he knows what these teens did to the man, they have killed by accident and now the killer is getting them, one by one to end thier stupid little lives. This crazy spoof does delivers and is actually suspenseful for a spoof. This film make fun anothers films like:Scream 1 & 2, American Pie, I know what you did last summer, The Martix, Dawson`s Creek, The Exorcist, The Blair Witch Project and a few anothers. Anna Faris is a standout comic performance as the heroine Cindy.

DVD`s has a fine widescreen(2.35:1) transer and good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. This is not for all comic taste but the film proved to be a fine comic new gerne of the early 2000. Grade:B+. Panavision.

Summary: My kids asked me to stop the playing the movie!
Review: Yeah, I know it's rated R. But there's an R for violence, an R for sex. This earned an R for Raunch. "All the kids are talking about it at the lunch table," is what I heard from my 6th grader. He wanted to know what they were talking about, so I let him rent it himself. I'm embarrassed to say, he didn't need me to explain anything. It was so graphic anyway, there was no explaining necessary. As an adult, I'd say this movie is worth a late night peek when it comes on cable. It's not suitable for Jr. High or younger. Then if you really like what you see, then the extra material on the DVD might be for you. If you can stomach it.

Summary: DON'T MAKE ME WATCH IT AGIAN!!!
Review: I'm a big fan of Marlon Wayans. Specially my favorite movies Don't be a Meanace and Senseless but this movie is stupid. Some parts are funny, maybe. The jokes are stupid, you don't even understand them. I know this movie relates to Scream 1, 2, and 3, aslo I know what you did last summer and I still know what you did last summer coz I watch them all. But at the end the movie is really stupid! ...

Summary: not very good
Review: This movie should of been rated NC-17. Because of all the sex in it. There was only a few funny parts in this movie.
