Summary: So what if it's stupid? It's so funny!!!
Review: This movie was hilarious. Okay, period. And I'm a big movie fanatic. Yeah i like smart movies, but i'm always a sucker for dumb low brow humor. This movie pulled it off. Big time, in a David Zucker type way even though he didn't direct this. This movie was just so funny from start to finish, i couldn't stop laughing. It's definitely at least worth a rent or two.....it's very low brow humor but it's just so hilarious......wait till you see the first ten minutes......and Doofy.....God this movie is so funny.....sorry....I can't stop....ahhh! It's so hilarious...

Review: Well, what can I say? If you have been reading the other reviews, you know of the films major problem: the nudity. Normally, I would not complain, but this is MALE nudity. And as a male, it scared me. Ok, now lets start the review.The movie spoofs Scream, I Know, and the Matrix, and a couple more. This is where the meat of the comedy is derived from. Sure, there are a few "non-spoof " jokes, but they are not that funny. Except for the Ms. Mann scene, which was creepy, in a creepy sense. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud jokes, with a few snicker ones. So, if it is so funny, why am I giving it 3 stars? First off, you can only watch a few times a year, as the gags quickly become old. Second, the DVD. While the picture and sound are very good, where are the extras? The DVD extras are 6 deleted scenes, a 7 minute "documentary", and a trailor. While this is a lot for some people, I was expecting at least a commentrary track. Oh well. This is stil a very funny movie, even if you can only watch it a few times a year. Also, for those of you out there who think I am low-brow, let me say I enjoy a wide amount of movies, from this, to The Insider.

Summary: I've seen worse...
Review: This is definitely a film aimed at teenagers and students. I've seen worse, it was fairly funny in places, but don't expect anything too much. One to watch with friends when your bored.

Summary: not THE most disturbing movie......
Review: ...but then again, THE most disturbing movie was religous. Scary Movie is filled with sex, and masked murderers that must of been drunk. It has the crudest humor I've ever seen. it pokes fun at baywatch , the six sense, scream, i know what you did last summer, and many, many , others. it has alot of nudity, cursing , and stereotipical acts. it also has some funny stuff, and alot of potty humor. the only thing that is even near funny is the part where prince is tied up. the only reason i gave it two stars is because i probably couldn't make a better movie.

Summary: If I could give it zero stars I would!
Review: What a complete and utter waste of time and money this was. I have seen some trashy films in my day, but this has got to be the most raunchy, filth laden movie I have ever seen. (I am literally embarrassed that I watched the entire thing.) Every actor that stood before the camera during the making of this movie wasted their talent with the exception of Shawn and Marlon Wayans. I single them out because they have no talent to waste. How long does Marlon Wayans have to play the same character over and over until he realizes it's just isn't funny? Even the always funny Sheri Oteri fails to give a solid comic performance. The idea of spoofing the "Scream" trilogy and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" is a good one, but I wish a group of people with some talent would have gotten to it first. The fact that this film got released with an "R" rating is beyond me, and the fact the it did so well at the box office just boggles my mind. If you are looking for a good spoof, stick with movies like "Airplane!" and another Wayans collaboration "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!".

Summary: This movie is trashy and nasty!
Review: I have many words for this movie. Awful,Raunchy,perverted,trashy! I'm ashamed of myself for even sitting through this joke of a film. Scream is a whole lot funnier. I enjoyed airplane and space balls. This film was just tasteless and vulgar. Nasty and too focused on sex and homosexuality. I wouldn't dream of buying this. Scary Movie is a Middle school porno mixed with vile jokes. All I can say is this film is too stupid to watch!

Summary: The only movie not worth watching
Review: This is the worst movie on the face of the planet. I couldn't even stand to look at it. I had to go home and take a cold shower after. Just don't waste your money on this garbage.

Summary: Wayans Machinations
Review: One of the raunchiest multi-spoofing flicks to come across the way in a long time, the Wayans brothers have surprisingly succeeded in drawing audiences in for their eye-popping sight gags and flagrant innuendo, grossing millions of dollars in the process and earning the begrudging respect of films critics everywhere. It borrows themes from quite a few blockbusters, the main ones being "Scream" (1 and 2 of the tiresome trilogy) and "I Know What You Did Last Summer", teen-mania slashers that were BEGGING to be satirized. It also pokes fun at the quixotic visual effects of "The Matrix", makes mention of the M. Night Shyamalan Oscar-starved film "The Sixth Sense" and borrows renowned cinematic techniques from "The Blair Witch Project" and "Titanic". There are probably many more bits and pieces of other movies I've missed while watching it, but the broadly vulgar material makes it hard to recognize. "Scary Movie" is the athenaeum... of toilet humor carried by the no-holds-barred directorial style that the Wayans brothers offer. Some of it was almost too much to handle for certain people; they claimed that "Scary Movie" was hurdling the boundaries of bad taste and that the rating systems should've bequeathed unto it an NC-17 classification on account of its appalling gags and the impropriety of full-frontal male nudity... It also makes blatant jokes about homosexuality and the minorities (ex. - Anna Faris types the words "White woman in trouble" to hastily summon the police in an emergency). Although we have witnessed many a character performance before from the creators of this picture, the other cast members are amusing and memorable. First off, we have Anna Faris (a blue-eyed version of Katie Holmes) portraying the crisis-ridden Sidney from the Scream films, a victim of her own stupidity. Her character is aptly named Cindy Campbell and she is the straightest performance in this movie, making the laugh quotient that much more abundant. Remember Nadia, the sexy exchange student from the teen sex farce "American Pie"? Shannon Elizabeth is back, this time playing a complete airhead as Buffy Gilmore, a carbon copy of Rose McGowan's bimbo in "Scream" (and she gets slaughtered just as quickly). Dave Sheridan (a poor man's Jim Carrey) is a little tough to take at times with his overexerted and shameless interpretation of Doofy, Buffy's mentally-handicapped brother. As always, SNL's Cheri O'Teri is a riot as the Gayle Weathers replica Gail Hailstorm, the fanatical TV reporter who chews people up and spits them out without a second thought. James Van Der Beek makes an amusing cameo, but the most brazen performances come from the Wayans brothers themselves. First, we have Marlon - haven't we seen this before? He's not really an actor, although he seems to think that his doobie-smoking, low-intellect dude routine will never wear thin. He played virtually the same part in "Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood". Shawn is not much more impressive (he's more annoying, in fact) except that he's more wiry here than in "Don't Be A Menace...". On the whole, they are virtually the same person. Their brother (and more prudent filmmaker) Keenan makes a brief cameo in the aforementioned "Titanic" premise. I think what really kept this film up in the air for so long was its fearlessness and the Wayans brothers...attitude about their crass masterpiece. When making an omelette, eggs must be broken and Marlon and Shawn are gleefully chomping on the shells in the midst of their million-dollar success. For those who have a sensitive palette regarding sex, drugs and violence, this is not your taste. Seek other flavorsome fare in the PG department. "Scary Movie" is warts and all.

Summary: Not bad, but not destined to be a classic, either.
Review: Parody films are always a dicey venture. They're the easiest type of comedy to do, but can be the hardest to do right. SCARY MOVIE actually pulls it off, but not enough to call it a success. Strike One: Parodies of Slasher films are nothing new; even most slasher films tend not to take themselves seriously these days. SCREAM was one of those, practically a satire of its own origins. Since SCARY MOVIE is really only a parody of two films, SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (and a brief nod to... THE MATRIX and THE USUAL SUSPECTS?), this means it is partially a parody of a satire. (Quick Trivia Note: SCARY MOVIE was actually the original working title for SCREAM!) Strike Two: Parodies usually make fun of inherent cliches within a genre. Being essentially a parody of only two films, this translates into copying actual scenes and dialogue and twisting them for humor. Like Van Sant's PSYCHO, but with creativity. There is no strike three, however, as they somehow manage to pull it off with quite a few laughs. Even with painfully excessive and extremely low-brow sexual humor that makes PORKY'S look like THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG, there's still enough genuine humor here for a fun movie.
