Rating: Summary: A Sad Disappointment Review: I liked the raunchy humor of the first Scary Movie. As they say, leave the best alone and break the mold. I really couldn't get into Scary Movie 2, however, one scene I thought was the funniest was the Excorcist scene and that pretty much is it. I was hoping to see bigger and better things from the brothers that created the first one. I must say I'm glad I rented this before I bought it.
Rating: Summary: Laughter against Creativity..... Review: I'm shocked. Know why? It's because of how poorly done Scary Movie 2 was. The original Scary Movie was da bomb, no doubt about that. It was new, the thing that teens wanted to see. The 2nd was not. Ok, so it was hilarous. I'll admit that. But, what exactly were the Wayan bros thinking? Were they trying to add more flave to Scary Movie? Cause it didnt exactly work. They could have done without the Charlies Angel [spoof], but The beginning was good, the whole Exercist thing. And it was easy to spot which movies it all came from. I'm not gonna go off saying this was a bad movie, cause it really wasnt. Not at all. But im not gonna say it deserves 5 stars. Cause it doesnt. However, If your kinda of movie is a hilarous movie that makes no sense, but its still funny, this movie is for you. But if you enjoyed the first, but care that the movie should have a point, i would suggest not getting it. Overall, if you want to laugh, and laugh hard, get it.
Rating: Summary: Mostly Funny Review: Scary Movie 2 isn't as god as the first one, but it's funny. If you thought Scary Movie wasn't funny, then you'll definitly want to rent Scaru Movie 2 before buying it.
Rating: Summary: Cracked up at this one a hell of a lot more than the first! Review: Okay let's face it. It's a dumb...comedy. It isn't meant to make you think. It's really meant to tap into the sick side that you didn't know you had. Well not really for that last part, but that's what it did for me. The spoofs were more hilarious. My fave is the one where they're playing basketball. It takes a lot of stabs at movies like the first but believe it or not, I actually think this one's LESS nastier than the first if you can believe that. You want a movie that will make you laugh and that will more or less become a guilty pleasure? Check this movie. And by the way, the Josh Hartnett preview does NOT hurt.
Rating: Summary: Sick, Sick, and more Sick Review: The sequel to the hit "Scary Movie," is so grotesque and raunchy, that it is hard to find humor in it. Though there are some laugh out loud scenes, the rest of the movie is just in one word..."disgusting!" These kind of movies make you think what kind of sick people think these ideas up? and it also makes you wonder how mentally healthy our society today is...this certainly isnt making it any better! Anyways, it rates a 2 out of 5 for its effort, but the would have been funnier with less of the sex and crude humor jokes.
Rating: Summary: Funnier then the first!!! Review: Ohhh my god this movie was the best parody i have seen in a long time. it had everything from special effects,love sceans murder scenes and the most of all hard core comedy!!!!!
Rating: Summary: More merciless. More shameless. Less humorous. Review: The surprise success of "Scary Movie" has prompted the original team of filmmakers to break their promise of "no sequel" and return to the screen one year later with "Scary Movie 2," which brings back most of the original cast for another round of horror spoofing with the gratuitous use of crude humor, bodily fluids, and unabashedly raunchy style. This time, the teen horror genre is replaced by the classic horror films of yesterday and today, as well as a few other films thrown in for good measure (if the first one could spoof "The Matrix," what's to stop the sequel from playing on "Charlie's Angels," right?). I find it hard to categorize the movie as anything more than a gross disappointment, a movie that had the chance to be just as good as its predecessor, yet ends up falling flat on its face when it comes time to deliver real laughs. Guest appearances by recognizable actors prove to be little more than embarrassments for those involved, while the returning cast seems to have lost all sense of what made the first movie such a riot. Again, we are given a cookie-cutter plot, jumbled together from the various classic and traditional horror movies devoid of teenage casts. Our surviving (and resurrected) characters from "Scary Movie" are now in college, with some new additions including Tori Spelling as a pig-tail-sporting twit and Kathleen Robertson as a busty bimbo with style to match. When offered a chance to spend a night in Hell House, in which a famed ghost by the name of Hugh Kane cheated on his wife, they readily accept, only to find, once again, that something is out to get them. The movie begins interesting enough to spark some attention; the spoof of "The Exorcist" in the beginning moments manages to provoke some laughs, especially from James Woods as the priest sent to exorcise the young girl, Megan. The movie's minute amount of comical moments are interspersed throughout the movie, in such characters as a talking parrot and Tim Curry, who plays a combination of Liam Neeson's David Marrow from "The Haunting, and Geoffrey Rush's Steven Price from "House on Haunted Hill." As for the rest of the material filling in the voids, it virtually goes nowhere. It was easy to laugh at these characters in the first film because the teen horror genre is so incredibly overrun with cliché and ridicule from audiences; here, the writers seem so determined to do themselves one better by spoofing as much as they can, that the movie quickly loses track of what it's trying to make fun of, and ends up making fun of itself. Of course, there are the plays on dialogue from other movies ("Titanic's" goodbye dialogue is shamelessly exploited here), and a spoof of "Charlie's Angels" that does nothing for the film. Spelling spends the entire movie acting like an idiot in the most unappealing way, while Robertson as the rest of the cast are constantly looking as if they don't believe in any of the material's comedic potential. The movie feels rushed and thrown together, without any attention to the films and culture it so desperately tries to parody.
Rating: Summary: One Of The Funniest Movies That I Ever Saw In My Life Review: Man people are giving this movie bad reviews. Well like what dominko says: If You Don't Like It, Leave It The Hell Alone.
Rating: Summary: Scary Movie 2 Review: I loved the Wayans brothers when they were doing "In Living Color" on Fox several years ago. I saw Scary Movie at the theatre and didn't get to see Scary Movie 2 until this past weekend. I started watching it and haven't laughed that hard in a long long time. Tears were running down my face; the opening scene spoofing the Exorcist was hysterical as well as the scenes involving the Parrot. The quality of the DVD is excellent with the additional scenes and backgound info. A MUST OWN!
