Rating: Summary: GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT Review: THIS IS A VERY FUNY MOVIE.ALL PEOPLE THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NO SEQUAL ON THE FIRST POSTER ARE JUST BEING STUPID. IF THEY DIDNT WANT THE SEQUAL WHY WOULD THEY GO SEE IT , JUST SO THEY COULD COMPLAIN? IN SCARY MOVIE 2 THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A PLOT BUT IT WAS STILL FUNNY. THE FIRST WAS GREAT, AND THIS WAS VERY GOOD, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST. THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THIS MOVIE IS DEIANTLY CHRIS ELLIOTS CHARACTER, HE MAKES YOU LAUGH THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE. THE FUNNIEST SCENE IN THIS MOVIE WAS THE SCENE AT THE DINNER TABLE. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND LAUGH A LOT, I SUGGEST YOU GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
Rating: Summary: Scary Movie 2: More Of The Same Review: I highly anticipated this movie as the sequel of the summer, and I was not disappointed. Sure, this sequel to last year's smash hit, isn't as good or maybe as cutting edge, but I still feel it is hilarious! The Wayans Brothers dynasty definitely lives on!Some of the highlights of this sequel is James Woods as the absolutely funny priest in the opening 10 minutes. The role was originally slated for Marlon Brando, but I don't know how Brando would of compared to the hidden comedic talents of James Woods. Joining this sequel is also great actors like Tim Curry and Chris Tucker. The only lowpoint of the movie was Tori Spelling in a wasted role. The only clue that I have is that most of her character ended up on the cutting room floor. Nothing and nobody is sacred from movies like "Hollow Man" and "It" to televison's "Weakest Link" and NIKE commercials. As of this date(July 17) this sequel is not doing as well in the box office, but I feel that it is better than the original in ways. The original had a better story, but this movie is full of non-stop laughs. Maybe the scariest thing about this movie is that I am planning to see it a third time soon...
Rating: Summary: Horrible Review: Scary Movie 2 (I'm sure 3's on the way, sigh) is just a gross, offensive movie about sex, body-parts and profanity. They make fun of The Exorcist. Why? The Exorcist is a very serious, religious, spiritual film, and I find it quite offensive that they'd make fun of it. Making fun of The Exorcist is like making fun of Schindler's List, in my opinion. The other parodies are of countless other movies, none of them being funny in any way. Skip Scary Movie and this one and the one that will more than likely come out next summer.
Rating: Summary: Tasteless movie, OK spoofs Avoid at all costs!! Review: This movie was a tasteless movie. It did need to be made at all. Just because the original movie makes over $100 million at the box ofice does not mean a make a sequel I was offended by the gay jokes of the character "Shorty" and a few other people in the movie. Not to mention there was no need to spoof "The Haunting"(which this movie is a huge spoof!), "Charlie's Angels","Mission Impossible 2 or MI:2" ,"Hollow Man" and "What Lies Beneath". The spoofs were OK. The only good spoof of this movie is when they spoof "The Exorist" in the first ten minutes with James Woods as the priest. After that it goes downhill really fast!!I wanted to leave but I do not waste my movie just to watch 10 minutes of a movie. This movie should be avoided . There is not a single thing good about this movie!!Perhaps the Wayans Brothers need to realize that their movies offend people that are possibly gay or bisexual?Or even intelligent people? The disablied(like myself) because we are not all in wheelchairs(a sterotype of people with disabilities). Do they care? Of course not? All that matters to them is $$$ the sheep pay to see the garabage. I hope that Disney does not make a "Scary Movie 3" as I suspect it will worse than the first 2 combined!!
Rating: Summary: a horrible, jumbled, UNFUNNY mess of a movie Review: Big question for the second installment, of Scary Movie, which, I might add, part one- I loved...how long did it take them to write this? A half hour? If it took longer than that, I was fooled. It is amazing how horrible a comedy can be, and I think this one might just take the award for the worst ever. Unlike part 1, there was no coherent story. Granted, the plot in part one wasn't totally solid, but in part 2- it wasn't there at all. It seemed more like a series of skits that made no sense together, and none of them were funny at that. The same old jokes used in the same exact way. Some of the jokes in this movie were IDENTICAL to the jokes in part one...the "sex" scene being one of those. Same fire hose like spray of liquid knocking the very annoying Faris down. That's another thing...if that girl wasn't annoying in the first, in this one- she is so annoying you just want someone to strangle her to get her out of the movie. I am very disappointed in the writers and everyone involved in making the film, because it seems like they thought they had to automatically make a part 2 to make some more cash, and they clearly thought it had to be made, edited, and released within a few days...that's what it looks like. This is a horrible mess that has maybe 2 funny jokes, and the rest is just gross out humor...unlike the first, this gross out humor is not funny, just gross. Miss this one at all costs. 1/10
Rating: Summary: Not As Good As The First! Review: The first was by all means better! While this movie was able to keep the laughs rolling, the storyline was too stupid for my taste. And They didn't have a scene more hilarious than the fat girl trying to escape from the doggy door in the garage. But it did have it's moments. Like when the old people started singing a trashy rap song, and the butler with the deformed hand basting a chicken in spit! Most of the humor is so grose it's funny! Yes, I did like it and will probably own it some day, but I can't rate it as high as the first.
Rating: Summary: Scary Movie 2 Review: Not quite up to the hysterical comedy of the original, I feel it stood on its own "merits". The take off of "What Lies Beneath" was a scream. Some parts of it were gross but even gross comedy has an appeal, all told, a very funny film.
Rating: Summary: Following in the footsteps of all teen comidies... Review: Scary Movie 2 is an inert, unfunny movie about a group of kids who go to a haunded house as part of a college class and end up being scarier than the ghosts and monsters they come to discover. Scary Movie 2's target audience is unintellegent, immature teenagers. This is the reason it will do so well. This is unfortunate, but a fact of life. The only part of this movie that was even remotely funny at all is the preacher's solo on the piano at the start of the film. It is all down hill from there. This movie paridoies every scary movie it can find and it does it badly. A group of mentally retarded 4 year olds with A.D.D. could have written a better movie. And it is unfortunate to see Marlon Wayans in this movie after staring in Requiem for a Dream. It is as if the creators of this film were saying, "here's a stupid movie for stupid people," and the whole of the United States population asked what time it's playing. I understand the movie was supposed to be a dumb movie,(after all "serious comedy" is an oxymoron) but it is not even funny. It's just dumb. I could feel my IQ level dropping as the movie trudged on. If I could have, I would have walked out on this movie, but it was my friends day to drive.
Rating: Summary: It's Funny At First, But Fails For The Rest Of It. Review: When I started watching Scary Movie 2, I was waching a bunch of adults singing classical music. I was thinking that this would be trash...a bunch of adults singing Sinatra in a comedy? Then it made sense, they started singing rap music, and it was funny for the next 15 minutes, with James Woods as a great priest, who has hi-jinks with Regan...a spoof of the Exorcist. The rest of the film is different. The acting isn't exactly good at all, and it jumps around too much. The characters are very strange, and the plot goes from one thing to another. One thing that I didn't like, was that it wasn't as gross as the first one, which in my mind made the first one so good. Another thing was that the first one spoofed popular films today [scream, i know what u did last summer, etc]. The sequel spoofs older films like The Exorcist, House On Haunted Hill, The Haunting, and Poltergeist. What I would suggest is that you sit through the first half an hour, and see if you like it. If you come to the theater late, don't see it, because the first 15 minutes are priceless.
Rating: Summary: FIRST 20 MINUTES WERE HILARIOUS, DOWNHILL FROM THERE Review: Two stars alone are for the first 15-20 minutes of the movie, which showcased "The Exorcist" spoof and I must say that I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG TIME. I took a sip of my drink and had to spit it out in laughter! I'm not going to give any of the jokes and gags away, but I guarantee that if you don't laugh you are made of STONE. The other star was for the second-half of the movie, which sadly wasn't as funny. Sure, I chuckled a bit at times, but it wasn't laugh-out-loud funny. The only thing that kept my eyes GLUED to the screen was the "Big-Boobed" Kathleen Robertson, who doesn't dissatisfy any of her fans. I'd see it again only to catch the first scene. Its worth a viewing.
