Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good as the original
Review: This movie is going to be funny as hell. The Wayans brothers are going to spoof completely different horror films and even spoof popular T.V. shows and commercials(they even spoof the nike basketball commercial). There will also be some slapstick comedy in this. If the first Scary Movie made you laugh the sequel will make you laugh just as hard or maybe even harder.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: scary movie 2 looks pretty funny!!!!
Review: I have seen the preview for this movie and it looks awsome!?!?!?!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes, score!
Review: This is rocking! I can't believe all the stuff that is in this movie. The basic plot premis is that Tim Curry makes the Scary Movie gang do a report on some old house. But that is where all the fun spoofs begin! Yes, it is amazing all the newer stuff they could spoof on now. The Mummy, The Excorist, and most likely, Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer. Heck, they could even try to spoof Scary Movie! Watch this when it comes out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comic Genius Once Again
Review: The Wayans Brothers wrote and starred in another hilarious movie. These guys have revolutionized the parody genre with movies like Don't Be a Menace..., and now the Scary Movie series.This movie is just as funny , with parodies they didn't hit on like What Lies Beneath and parodying the Exorcist/Stigmata type movies. This will soon be considered comic brilliance along the lines of Mel Brooks.

Summary: Weakest entry so far
Review: Scary Movie 2 is funny, when it isn't shockingly gross, and constantly swearing. This movie has so many sex gags, there are almost as many as the times this movie says the f word, being every other sentence. However, the funny parts include Cindy running in slow motion to stop a ghost, the ghost falling down the stairs, (...) But, the sick parts include a scene with a black light, and the part with Cindy and Bobby in a room together. If it sounds like you just couldn't stomach all the sick things in this movie, then don't see it, but if you think you can, well then enjoy.

Summary: Scary Movie 2
Review: I thought some of it was really funny and then some of it was lame. So I give it three stars.

Summary: A bit forced, with Anna Faris looking like Courtney Cox
Review: If you're gonna get this movie, get it dead cheap, cos otherwise you'll be moaning about your loss of money. The first Scary Movie promised no sequel, and at the time of writing, the third one is already at the cinemas, so we'll soon see which is worse.

Nearly all the characters return from the first one, except those ones who were very obviously killed off. Anna Faris is gonna be known as "that chick from the Scary Movie trilogy", which could be something she'll live to regret - she could be known as Erica, the girl who's baby was given to Monica and Chandler in the last series of Friends. Shawn and Marlon Wayans return, as do Brenda Meeks, who's boyfriend Ray, is still as confused about his sexuality - although there was more focus on this in the first one. Thankfully! For some strange reason, they're joined by Tim Curry (no doubt the 'highlight' of his career), in a role which is neither funny, or up to his usual menacing standards. There's lot of cheap laughs at people in wheelchairs (played brilliantly by the 'balding' David Cross)

The whole film is mainly a spoof of House On Haunted Hill, just with no Catherine Zeta Jones or Owen Wilson. (Boo) Other films that have been spoofed, are Charlie's Angels, Mission: Impossible II, The Exorcist (very funny opening scene), Hannibal, Save The Last Dance and many more - how many can you spot? (There's also a character called Megan Voorhees) The Save The Last Dance spoof (where Shorty is teaching Cindy to act 'ghetto') is quite funny, as is the Exorcist spoof. Although sickening, the projectile vomiting incident is quite funny. And he tongue used in the spoof of The Exorcist is the tongue used in the original Exorcist movie. Strange but true. The film falls slightly flat after the opening scene, although the scene with the basketball, and them all acting up to the camera, is quite good.

Something extremely ridiculous that happened was the fact that Marlon Brando was originally supposed to appear as one of the priests in the opening scene (I can't quite see it somehow.) He was paid $1 million to play Father McFeely. He TOOK the money and accepted the role, but got pneumonia a few days before shooting his scenes. Therefore, he was no longer in the film. Let that be a lesson: always pay them afterwards! :)

If you liked the original, you'll probably like this one too on the first watch. Just not re-watchable.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Plot... isn't Very Good
Review: The first and third scary movies were spoofs off of real scary movies. This movie has it's own plot... and isn't really incredibly funny. There are funny characters and funny parts... but overall the movie isn't hilarious. It wasn't absolutely horrible, but certainly could've been much better. I suppose there were'nt enough real scary movies to make spoofs. The movie would've been 0 stars if it wasn't for the actors. Rent this, that way you can get rid of it if you hate it. Buy it if you like it. This movie is kind of gross... which makes it funny in some parts... weird in others... and just stupid in others...

This movie is about a group of college students going to a haunted house to do research. Here they find weird things happening... and a ghost is acting strange. Will they make it out alive?

This movie has it's funny parts, but there aren't as many as one would hope. See this one before the other two and get it out of the way.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 3 and a half
Review: I've always liked the Wayans' Brothers rather crude way of spoofing popular films. It's not always laugh-out-loud hilarious, but I admire the ballsy, shameless way they do it coz they could have just played it safe and did it the traditional tame, PG-13 way. The first Scary Movie spoofed the Scream-era films, which were in a major need of spoofing coz they were terrible. Part 2 tackles supernatural thrillers,more specifically The remake of The Haunting(another crappy movie in need of spoofing). Naturally, it's all hit and miss humor, but even during it's lowest points it's entertaining enough. It doesn't quite recapture the laughs of the first film, even though it's basically the same formula. They were under some tremdous pressure to do the film I understand. When it comes to crude, John Waters-esque humor, I usually find it more amusing than I do funny. The Exorcist/Amityville Horror spoof with James Woods was really the highlight of the film, for me anyway. You expect silliness from the Wayans Brother, but with James Woods it was so out of place and it worked well. I especially love Woods' reaction when he first sees the posessed girl. Not as good as the first, but worth renting.
