Summary: Hysterical
Review: I have to admit, as sick as it sounds, violence in movies greatly amuses me. Which is how I got into the horror genre because to be horror films are so unrealistic and over the top I just have to laugh.
This was the perfect solution. A scary movie that's meant to be funny.
OK some of the jokes are a little crude and juvenile. But the Wayans promise comedy not class.
And it takes real talent to pull of a project like this.
So what if it ain't 'Citizen Kane'?
It's still a classic in it's own way.

Summary: Thumbs down
Review: A satire of Scream. Had it's moments but for the most part, contained tasteless humor which was not in the least funny. I guess it's a matter of one's taste.

Summary: ....
Review: Scary movie was a sad attempt to satarize real "scary movies." In addition to it's predictability, it was filled with bland humor. Oh yes, some parts did make you smile, perhaps even giggle, but over all it was a waste of my $7.00. It's only one of many movies today making an effort to mock popular teen movies. My suggestion, see a real teen movie. Because you know the joke you're in for when you go to see it.

Summary: The Wayans Bros' Bland Humor At Its Worst
Review: This movie is not good. It's as simple as that. The Wayans brothers' bland humor is almost as bad as this movie. The jokes are cheap, and at times disgusting. Being a fan of the Farrelly brothers, I do enjoy gross-out comedies, but Scary Movie goes for shock value and the humor in this movie comes off lame. Rent it for a cheap laugh, but don't pay money to permanantly add it to your collection. Let's just hope they don't make a sequel..................................DOH!

Summary: Semi Funny
Review: Scary Movie, definitely cleaner than its sequel, has its funny parts and its idiotic parts...The first 15 to 20 minutes is hilarious, but the rest of the film just has bits and pieces that are funny. Little of the raunchiness is funny, but you kind of have to laugh for its failed attempt...Scary Movie rates 3 out of 5 for its effort and its 15 minutes of fame...otherwise this film is poor...

Summary: Hillariously Funny!!
Review: This movie was by far one of the funniest spoofs I've ever seen! I usually find movies of this type PAINFULLY predictable, but this one had loads of things that came out of nowhere! The only complaint I had was that it mostly spoofed Scream (KILLER movie!) and I Know What You Did Last Summer. There were a few quick references to other movies/tv/commercials we've all seen.. but not really enough. I went to see this expecting it to be dumb and a waste of money. But instead, I bought it as soon as it came to video and am going t get the DVD soon as well :)

Summary: Gross and not too funny
Review: The Wayans need to take a lesson from the Farrellys the next time they do a gross-out movie. The difference is the Farrellys never tend to stereotype people and they know how to do a really good gross out comedy while being in good taste. The Wayans, on the other hand, force people to laugh at people being brutally murdered and X-rated sex jokes. (In my opinion, "Scary Movie" should be X-rated.)
One good thing though: It makes fun of the Budwiser commercials.(Hint: WASSSSSSSSSSSSUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP)

Summary: Painfully UN-Funny
Review: The previews of this one were far better than the movie itself. Like most comedies, this would have made a great short film, say about 15-20 minutes. Instead of touching on several hit films like it should have, it re-does scene after scene from Scream until you forget that you're watching a comedy. There was one funny scene though: the preview for "Amistad II". That was great! But the disapointments in this flick far out-weigh the good. For example, instead of re-wording famous lines like "I see dead people", the characters just repeat them. What's funny about that? They should have said, "I see white people", "I see fat people" and screamed. ANYTHING ELSE would have been funnier than just repeating the famous lines from movies. This is one of those movies that's fun to watch just to point out all of the scenes that could have been funnier. It has value in that sense and in the sense that it should inspire aspiring film-makers. If this can become a big hit, anything can! If you want to watch a real comedy from these guys, check out the far superior "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka". It blows this turkey away.

Summary: Actually, zero stars - worst movie of all time.
Review: I kept waiting. Waiting to laugh. After all, this was supposed to be slapstick. Comedy, right? The only reason that I didn't walk out is because I kept hearing how funny it was. I kept waiting. The laugh never came. My sister and I looked at each other and shook our heads when the credits started rolling. Was it the worst movie I've ever seen? Possibly. Definitely one of the most disappointing. And don't you dare say I don't have a sense of humor. I loved the "Naked Gun" series, the "Airplane!" films, "Top Secret." I'm a big fan of Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt-Head, King Of The Hill, Office Space), and of Comedy Central's South Park series. Take a good look at my DVD List (my "home page" link.) You'll find plenty of comedies there that I'd recommend seeing, and then seeing again and again before renting "Scary Movie." Simply said, "Scary Movie" was awful. Who would enjoy it? Hmm. I don't think I want to know. Seems hypocritical of me to bash someone who might like this film, when I enjoy watching "Jackass" on MTV. I just felt like the writers (that's an insult to writers everywhere) of "Scary Movie" must've gone to a 4th grade class during their recess, got some ideas from them, and then decided to let them write the movie over the next 4 years...
