Summary: This ain't Mel Brooks, folks
Review: For a comedy movie to be good it must be funny. This is not. Instead, it attempts to shock the viewer with various gross-out gags. It's as crude as they come. Watching this you have to wonder if there are any standards even left. At all. Hollywood will produce anything regardless if it is in the poorest of poor taste. The only reason this got an R instead of NC-17 was because it's a commercial movie. If this was an independent it would have gotten NC-17. But hey, it works. Scary Movie, thanks to its 'shock factor,' proved to be a cash cow at the box office.But back to this movie, if you want to call it that. It spoofs something that was a spoof to begin with. I can't see the logic in that. It's like a new magazine coming out which spoofs Mad Magazine: what's the point? Well like this "comedy," there is none. It gets one star for one laugh (at the movie theater) and for having the decency to only be 88 minutes. Any longer would have been criminal. Go watch Spaceballs again before you waste your time on this.

Summary: Funny but tasteless horror parody/sex farce
Review: Now here's a clever idea, a parody of a satire. "Scary Movie" spends most of its time lampooning "Scream" which was a tongue in cheek satire of horror flicks. It also takes pot shots at various other successful horror flicks such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Blair Witch Project". Unfortunately, this film's cleverness is overshadowed by its bad taste. This is a Wayans home movie, written by Shawn and Marlon and directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans. There really isn't any story, just a succession of ribald skits based sometimes verbatim on various horror flicks. In actuality, this is more of a raunchy sex farce than a horror movie. It has a puerile sexual obsession throwing as much bawdiness as possible into every scene. The jokes are crass and vulgar guttersnipe humor. This is sledgehammer comedy, with everything bluntly stated and no subtlety whatever. Though the slapstick is funny, even hilarious at times, there are so many tastelessly offensive lines that the net result is negative. The Wayans take political incorrectness to an ugly extreme, taking the liberty of mocking just about every group possible with exaggerated stereotypes. The acting is nothing special except for Dave Sheridan as Sheriff Doofy who is worth the price of admission. The direction is also mundane. I must give the Wayans brothers credit for knowing their audience. This film is clearly targeted at the 18 to 25 demographic (in reality probably 14 to 25) and panders mercilessly to their fixations (sex, drugs and sex). It is likely to offend the sensibilities of a large number of people, but after grossing more than $150 million at the box office, the Wayans brothers can shrug that off as irrelevant (a sequel is already in the works). As I watched this film, I laughed hysterically in some parts and I was revolted by others. However, since the good is outweighed by the bad, I rated it a 4/10. Add one point for every year of age under 25. Those who are offended by foul sexual humor should steer clear.

Summary: Awful....
Review: when i got this movie,i wasn't expecting it to be fall down on the floor funny(it wasn't),but i expected to at least chuckle more than once. my advice to anyone who is thinking of buying this dvd? DON'T.... if you want to see a better movie that parodies other movies or tv shows,buy airplane or the naked gun...they're well worth the money.

Summary: Chill Out and Watch!
Review: OK, this is probably one of the most vulgar movies out. It even beats the apple pie scene in American Pie. But, come on, you have to admit you can't help but laugh. It was funny. I really feel this should have been an NC-17 rated movie from the get go, but I'm not in charge of that department. Don't let your kids watch it, but take a chance, rent it and let your inhibitions fly out the window. I'm not sure if this is one I'll add to my collection. But if I do, it'll have a nice place next to my copy of American Pie. BTW, my favorite scene was probably the most disgusting, so I can't describe it. But I'll never look at chainsaws the same way again.

Summary: Oh, what could have been
Review: When I saw the previews for this film I thought,"This has some great potential to be heralded among the classic parodies". However, it fell far short of that lofty goal. I was very disappointed at the lack of imagination and forethought that went into many of the gags that were haphazardly thrown into this production. There were a few scenes which offered hope for redemption; for example, the movie theater scene which resulted in the all too welcome death of the cell phone weilding, nuisance of a film patron. I feel that scene got too little attention as it parallelled the overly juvenile phallic endeavors played by her homosexually suppressed, male counterpart. Various other characters had great potential to vault this movie into the likes of "Police Squad" and "Hot Shots" with a genre that has not been touched by parodies thus far. I've seen better from the Wayans and was tragically disappointed with what turned out to be the mental meanderings of a preverse 12 year old recorded and burned onto a DVD.

Summary: Why bother???
Review: Batman & Robin, The Lost World, The Klumps, and definetily Scary Movie are all movies that have never should've been made. I will admit that I watched the whole movie, not because it interested me, but because I was waiting for the funny part. To my avail, I did laugh once, with 2 minutes remaining in the movie. Keenan Ivory Wayans is a very funny person, I remember watching In Living color, and it was hysterical. But with Scary Movie, he seemed to forgot to add laughter to the movie. I understand that it is a parody, but paradies can be very funny (Spaceballs) or terrible (Mafia). Scary Movie falls into the same class as Mafia. My biggest problem with this parody, is the fact that it is a parody of a parody. As I recall, Scream was a parody of scary movies. Scream pulled it off because it was a scary movie within a scary movie. Scary Movie on the other hand, is a stupid movie within a stupid movie. I wish I could get reimbursed for my money and time that I spent on watching the movie. If anyone out there can explain to me how Scary Movie raked in $150 million at the box office, I would love to know the answer, because I don't have it.

Summary: A fun movie to only see once
Review: This movie makes you laugh histarically, but it's jokes are somewhat repititious and if you see this movie more than 3-4 times, you get bored.

Summary: This movie was hilarious
Review: I got this DVD for a present. The DVD has so many features, I know see what all the hype about DVDs are. About this movie, It was funny from start to finish. I love the way it makes fun of all those stupid non-scary horror films of the 90's. If you love comedy movies, and who doesn't, then this movie is for you. However, the older you are, the less you will enjoy it as this type humor is for the younger people. I watched it with my dad and he laughed maybe 10 times but when I had a small new years party of enthuastic 20-year olds, it was non stop laughing. 5 of 5 stars. I think the best scene was when that girl went into the gym teachers office and......

Summary: DVD problems continue...
Review: My one star rating is for the flawed DVD disc--not the movie. "Scary Movie" is rather crude and vulgar at times, but you can't help but laugh along with it. I--along with many others--seem to be having the same problems with the DVD. If you play it through a DVD-rom drive, it usually gets hung up on the FBI warning--then it either crashes the DVD player program or the whole computer itself. I've tried to play it with and without using the PCFriendly program--neither works. I'm not sure how well it plays on regular DVD players. I've visited PCFriendly's site and looked for support. They do acknowledge that there have been problems with the DVD getting stuck on the FBI warning, but they insist that it is only a small number of players and not the DVD itself. I have many, many DVDs and have never experienced a problem with any of the titles--except for "Scary Movie." I think they just don't want to acknowledge there's a problem and have to risk recalling a bunch of DVDs. Other than all those problems, the film itself is pretty funny. If anyone has found a solution to these problems, please let us know.
