Rating: Summary: What was that? Review: Let me start off by saying that the first one rocked. I laughed my [head] off. It was the best spoof-comedy I have ever seen. That said, this movie SUCKED!!! If you want to go see the parts in Scary Movie 2 so you can laugh, just watch the previews. Seriously....the funniest parts are the ones that are on the preview. I would of slept through it if I wasn't waiting patiently for some good parts. NEVER CAME!!! Save your money....watch the first one....and then go see the new Jet Li movie.
Rating: Summary: When you just want to laugh.. Review: Certainly not a mental challenge to view, but with the depressing economy and the everyday evening news to bring you down, it's nice to have some mindless fun every once in a while. Most of the original cast is back from Scary Movie 1, with no explanation as to how those who were offed in the first one came back to life for the sequel. James Woods fills in for the opening scene (Marlon Brando was too sick to finish the Exorcist spoof) and it started the movie off perfectly. Soon, the troubled teens are away for a weekend in a haunted house, and the hilarious spoofs on recent hits such as "Dude, Where's my Car?" "Charlies Angels" keep the laughs coming. This movie isn't for everyone, but if you liked the first installment, you're likely to like the second as well.
Rating: Summary: Weak Review: This is pretty bad movie. The first scene where the spoof "The Exorcist" is admittedly extremely funny, if you enjoyed the original "Scary Movie". However it all goes downhill from there, with a weak, disjointed plot and [bad] jokes. Also the movie was extremely short, I was out of the theatre an hour and a half after the showtime, and that's including 4 or 5 trailers and a couple of ads. However, the movie's shortness is more merciful than anything. The plot, such as it is, has the same cast from "Scary Movie" staying at a haunted house over a weekend. This is all set up by Tim Curry, playing an evil college professor whose motives are not really explained. Suffice it to say that some spooky things happen and there are parodies of The Exorcist, Poltergeist, Hannibal, The Haunting and Charlie's Angels, among others. The plot is much more disjointed than "Scary Movie", which is, in and of itself, kind of scary. I'm writing this as someone who really enjoyed "Scary Movie" and who was very disappointed seeing "Scary Movie 2" on opening night. Don't bother seeing this in the theatre. If you enjoyed "Scary Movie", you might like renting it for a few scenes, but the laughs are few and far between. 2 stars is a fair rating, it's very weak, but there are a few good laughs.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the first one, but good Review: There is nothing worth seeing at the movies. However, Scary Movie 2 has an appeal that none of the other movies have. Scary Movie 1 or 2 shouldn't be take seriously, the are comedies. It combines intelligent comedy, such as racial commentaries, with really gross scenes. I went matinee and saw it and it was worth it.
Rating: Summary: Better then the first Review: This movie is very funny I saw it on the 4th the first day it came out. The one guy said the people shouldn't compare it to the first one and give it 5 stars but then he gives it one star because of how he thought the first one was. If you like scary movie you will like this one.
Rating: Summary: Scary Movie bites the big one Review: This movie was so lame. The jokes were the same as the first one. The casting was horrible. They were seven, yes seven writers on this film. I guess they locked themselves in a room on a weekend to write this movie. The first "Scary Movie" was very funny. I was so disappointed. I will only rent this on DVD for the extras.
Rating: Summary: Scary Movie pushes the bar every step of the way! Review: Unlike my un informed friend Ian, everyone will love Scary Movie #2 if you liked anything in the first movie. Anna Faris, Marlon, & Shaun Wayans really add to their characters from the first movie. Also the addition of the hot, hot female co-star (to re-place Shannon Elizabeth.) She really adds some nice ASSessts to the movie. I think all my scary movie go-ers will agree this is a good one. Please don't read Ian's review. Thanks, Steve
Rating: Summary: Had funny parts but overall not great Review: I saw this movie yesterday (the 4th of July). It did have many funny jokes in it, but they mostly stopped after the middle of the movie and i just got boring. The first Scary Movie was defintely better than the first one. I have to say I was very dissapointed.
Rating: Summary: A major LET DOWN Review: I think the only thing that saved this movie from getting no stars at all was Marlon Waynes' coming back as Shorty and the cameo from Howard Stern guest Beetlejuice. The jokes in this movie were almost the same as the original, Cindy being blasted with sperm, Ray with his hand up a guy's ..., etc. And marlon waynes said they were gonna avoid the same joke twice? Yeah.. ok.. The film opens up with a spoof on The Exorcist. Which sort of gets your hopes up for the rest of the movie. After the spoof on the "Dude Where's My Car?" tatoo scene, the movie goes wayyyyy downhill. With so many gross out scenes (which are never a bad thing for a spoof), it looks like the writers focused more on out-grossing the first Scary Movie instead of trying to be funnier. Remember the slogan for Scary Movie 1? "No Shame, No Mercy, No Sequel"? I wish they would have stuck to their promise. My suggestion to anyone thinking of seeing it in theaters... wait till it comes out on video or just buy Scary Movie 1 if you're interested at all in this let down of a sequel.
Rating: Summary: Worth [ticket price] Review: The good thing about Scary Movie 2 is that I did walk out of the theater feeling I had been entertained. A lot of the jokes were pretty funny, some even bordering on intelligent(such as the Florida recount) and the movie was a lot less raunchy than the first. Now for the bad...this movie seemed more like a work of sketches(a la In Living Color) than a full fledged movie. It makes the first Scary Movie look like a work of art. It seems like the script was written around the gags rather than vice versa. There is no continuity in this film. At the end of the movie, I was like "hey what happened to so and so's character??" And what was Tori spelling in this movie? Her part was pointless. Also some of the movie's parodied are kind of dated such as The Amittyville Horror(they should've done The Shining) All in all, I can recommend seeing this movie.
