Summary: An endlessly watchable horror spoof
Review: Scary MovieScore: 77/100 Scary Movie was a film that got hardly any word before it was released, but, hey presto, when it was put into cinemas, it made more money than all the movies it's spoofing! Sheesh! That's independent-film power for you. But, even if Scary Movie isn't quite as good as some of the films it eagerly makes fun of, you can't help but love it, and I highly recommend it. Six friends, including Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), Buffy Gellar (Shannon Elizabeth), Brenda (Regina Hall), and Greg (Lochlyn Munro), are being stalked by a serial killer that is a mix between GhostFace of Scream and Ben Willis of I Know and I Still Know that wants them dead for a car accident that happened last Halloween. Pesky reporter Gail Hailstorm (Cheri Oteri) is also stalking the friends. The body count begins when Drew Decker (Carmen Electra) is murdered and everybody is getting bumped off in a very stupid way. Scary Movie is an extremely loveable film with many high-lights, including Buffy Gellar's death and a little-but-cool cameo from James Van Deer Beck from Dawson's Creek. However, the film is dumb in the spoof-way, but perhaps the Wayan's brother's needed to research horror films before jumping into spoofing Scream, because all the three Scream's are in fact spoofs themselves. Not as full on as this one, but still a spoof. However, this is a majorly enjoyable, gross-out and continuously funny film with eager performances from the cast and a script that dreams up a lot of funny ways to tease serious horror films. It may not be for everyone, but in my opinion, horror-spoofs don't come much better than this.

Summary: Pure comedic blast!
Review: When I'm watching a comedy, I expect it to make me laugh, and if it's a good comedy, then I come out with tears in my eyes and pains in my stomach from laughing at the way it tickles me. "Scary Movie" is one such movie, and is, by far, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It made me laugh in ways I never thought possible, and yes, it is overly gross and nasty, but that's just part of its good fun. The laughs keep coming, the cast knows just how to work the material, and the material itself is fall-down funny. The plot is a mix-and-match of the teenage horror franchises that have dominated the big screen in the latter years of the last decade. It combines comedic send-ups of storylines from the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movies, the "Scream" trilogy, and "The Blair Witch Project." But to try and summarize it without giving it all away, a girl in the beginning gets killed while getting ready to watch a video, and the kids who knew her at school think it has something to do with the guy that they killed exactly one year ago in their car. As the bodies begin to pile up, the laughs come aplenty, and you'll find yourself laughing at every minute of it. The plot uses a lot of gross-out jokes and toilet humor to bring out the laughs of the parodical situations, which brings the audience to a cross-roads of sorts. Either you laugh at it and enjoy it, or be grossed out by it and dislike the whole thing; with a movie like this, there's really no in between. I found myself laughing my way the entire way through, at pretty much every joke there is to laugh at. Whether it was Shannon Elizabeth incorporating her vanity and wanna-be intellectual attitudes into her role, or comic genius Cheri Oteri's hilarious portrayal of Gail Hailstorm, our favorite reporter who stops at nothing to get her story, the movie kept me entertained in a fashion and style I never thought possible. The parodies pretty much everything you've seen and heard from the popular teen horror movies mentioned above. One scene even pokes fun at the way in which the ages of the characters of these movies do not match the ages of the actors cast for the roles. Another takes place in a movie theater, reminiscent of the opening sequence in "Scream 2," only this time the girl deserves what she gets. Telling more will only ruin what has become a very popular and outrageous parody. The cast knows what they are doing right from the get-go; they know how to work the material, and they look like they're having fun doing it, too. With the talents of John Abrahams, Carmen Electra, Shannon Elizabeth, Cheri Oteri and so many more, there is never a dull moment here; it is simply that funny! The reason for such a short review: too many surprises to be given away if it were any longer! The movie has so many funny moments that sometimes blinking will result in something missed out on. The jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, the cast is bright and peppy, the plot is tremendously entertaining and engaging, and it just plain rocks.

Summary: I've seem some unfunny films but this one was torture!
Review: I'm sorry but this movie is a very poor movie in my opinion. The problem lies in that they are trying to spoof so many films and in doing so they forget one thing - it should be funny! The jokes come thick and fast, the only problem is that practically all of them are very unfunny. I can only really remember laughing one or two times but for the most part I kept on thinking that it had to get better, it's a pity it didn't, it just got worse. The actors seemed laboured at times and the jokes might have worked if they didn't carry them on too long. I mean once you've seen the mask change to a funny face that's okay but to see the mask take on many different expression well that's going a little too far. Most of the jokes or storyline you could see coming a mile away and although that may be okay, you weren't hit with a joke or a punchline that made the obviousness of the joke worth waiting for. It's a pity that this film failed so badly on the comedy front as it could have been so much better. After watching it all I could think of was that there was so many jokes that I had seen before and more importantly the jokes in other movies were that much better arranged. To sum up I would rent this movie before buying it so you can judge for yourself if it's worth adding to your collection. For me I will pass as I've seen everything before and done so much better. If you are looking for a comedy film stick with Blazing Saddles, it may be old and you've probably seen it before but it's still one funny film!

Summary: Very Funny, A Bit Gross
Review: This is a great movie to watch with the guys, and not with your girlfriend. This movie has its moments when it makes fun of The Matrix, Scream, and The 6th Sense, among others. This movie really doesn't have much of a plot, but that's the point. If you watch this, you need to be in a slap happy attitude and it will be much better. It's sexual jokes can either add to your enjoyment, or ruin it completely. As I said, if you're watching this with your friends, it will be much better. I added another star for all the extras on the DVD. Everyone likes extra stuff, and this DVD has it. It's special features include: additional scenes, behind the scenes, and the theatrical trailer. And if you're watching this on a computer you get even more features: screensaver, screenplay viewer, character profiles, and the guide to the Scary Movie. Overall, this is a good funny movie with lots of extras.

Summary: Pretty darn funny
Review: There's not really much I can say about this movie. It's not exactly the type of film you sit there and pick apart and discuss every little detail thoroughly. But it was indeed a very funny and clever film. Following in the technical tradition of the Naked Gun movies, this horror movie spoof manages to deliver plenty of gut-busting laughs to keep you entertained throughout. And while the humor does get kind of stale after excessive viewing, it never gets boring. Offensive and clever, Scary Movie attacks almost every stereotype in the world. But to those with open minds, you'll crack up. And to those who find the humor in these types of movies to be the very element which is destroying movies and the human race as we know it today, then get a life. It's all in good fun. Keenen Ivory Wayans did an exceptional job with this one. His fellow siblings, Marlon and Shawn, also put in a fine effort with the script (which, to me, ranks above their Don't Be a Menace... screenplay as far as wit and sporadic jokes go). I guess that's really all I have to say about it. If you haven't seen it, ignore your peers and give the movie a shot.

Summary: If you need a good laugh- this movie will do 'ya some good
Review: I may not be a movie guru, but I know this movie is the funniest parody I've seen in a while. You do have to watch some movies to get most the jokes (Matrix, 6th sense, Scream, etc) but all in all it's a good show. There's quite a bit of sexual content, but if you're comfortable with yourself- all the more laughs for you! I definitely recommend this movie for a rainy day or a night with mature friends.

Summary: The Funniest movie for the year 2000!
Review: Scary Movie is a laugh-a-minute (or even second) movie, where the jokes keep coming and coming. It spoofs so many movies that it's even funnier! Don't worry about the nudity, you won't remember it that much, because you'll be thinking of all the jokes as they come your way. People complain that Scary Movie has bad acting, or no plot. H-E-L-L-O, what planet are you from, don't you think it's supposed to be that way, I mean it IS spoofing other movies. Scary Movie gets the highest rating for being hilarious and also for the DVD having some cool features!

Summary: Finally some male nudity
Review: This movie was so stupid it was funny. Obviously it parodiesmany of the teen flicks. You have to be in the mood to deal withsexual jokes, fart jokes, and other rude, lude, and crude humor towatch it. I've seen a lot of guys complaining about the male nudityin it. What's the big deal? Women have been forced to sit throughmovies chock full of naked women for years. Lighten up guys! Themale organs shown were not even real. There was a shower scene withsome bare butts. So what. Get over it!! Some even said it deservedmore than an R rating. Well, no more than 'Basic Instinct' and moviesof the like.

Summary: A Joke Film That Is Actually Funny
Review: Scary Movie has got to be the funniest film that i have seen this year. After seeing Sream and I know What You Did Last Summer, its a refreshing change to watch a film like this. From the opening scenes with Carmen Electra aka Drew getting killed to the twist with officer dewby the film is just so funny. There are loads of micky takes from other films with the Matrix being one of them. If you are a fan of teen flicks then this will be good to watch as its lighthearted and puts the other films in their place
