This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

One of the best in its sub-genre. The whole movie is a parody of Scream, but along the way, it parodies about 60 more movies from the beginning of 70's to the end of the century. It is not a masterpiece of cinematography, but it surely is a masterpiece of a mockery of pop culture.7,5/10Back in a theater, I recognized just a few movies it mocks, but now I caught about 20. Can any of you do better ?! :DScream The Exorcist Grease The Sixth Sense Halloween I Know What You Did Last Summer Friday the 13th The Shining Dawson's Creek The Matrix and/or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Baywatch Basic Instinct Cruel Intentions The Shawshank Redemption The Usual Suspects Riverdance Thinner Titanic Urban Legend The Blair Witch Project

Halfway through this film I was praying for something subtle and witty to happen. Praying that we wouldn't get another joke which was easy to spot a mile off. Hoping beyond hope that I would find something to actually laugh at. Unfortunately, there isn't a single funny moment in SCARY MOVIE. There are a couple of mildly amusing parodies and in-jokes but otherwise, this film sits in the barren wasteland of humour. That ultimate failure: a comedy that just isn't funny.It's obvious which audience the makers of this film were aiming at: the teen market. Thus, we have a movie whose jokes fall into two categories: the parody, and the crude. By crude I mean jokes which are extremely obvious in nature and lack both wit and sophistication - somebody getting hit by a car is an example of this (so hilariously funny that they do the same joke twice). In the right context these jokes can sometimes work (take THE NAKED GUN trilogy for example), but here they fall flat. And, to make matters worse, many of the jokes are of the explicit sexual nature which have been depressingly filling the movies as of late. Do they make me laugh? No, they just make me sigh.The parodies should have worked, by all accounts. A fight between the heroine and the killer is done in slow-mo, to remind us of THE MATRIX. Yet even infallible jokes such as these somehow fall flat - perhaps because they were all used up in the film's trailer, so that we simply spend our time waiting for them to show up. They fly by thick and fast, references to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, THE SIXTH SENSE, and many more, but they consistently fail to provoke laughs. The film's ending is ripped off from THE USUAL SUSPECTS, but incredibly this is played seriously - a cop out for sure. A cameo from DAWSON'S CREEK star James Van Der Beek is unexpected and successful, so perhaps more cameos would have helped.The one funny scene in this film has Cindy (Anna Faris) stalked by a mask-wearing murderer up a flight of stairs. She grabs anything at hand to throw at him, and the items become more and more ludicrous - beginning with a vase, moving on to a bicycle, an old woman, and finally a piano. Yet for one genuinely amusing moment, there are a hundred more painfully bad ones. For fans with bad taste only, this is guaranteed to offend everyone else - as witnessed after I watched other audience members walk out of the cinema I was in as this was playing.

This not funny it is just gross and stupid. I have seen a lot of horror movie. I have seen all the once this movie made fun of. Some of them I like but I don't think they were insulting these movie. And I don't mind some one making fun of them if they were being funny. But they were not being funny they were just being stupid. They did make fun of some crappy horror movie. But they did not point how to stupid they were all they did was stupid collage hummer. Scary movie 2 is better and it is nothing that great. Scary movie 3 is better and that is pretty awful. Scary movie 4 is better. And that was also awful. Scary 5 is better. And that was awful to. The bad horror movie there make fun are better movies by default. I can't believe people think this movie is funny.

OK, now I'm just checking, comedies are supposed to make you laugh right??? I'm just making sure, because I wasn't 100% positive after seeing this.... OK so in a nutshell, I'm going to explain scary movie to you, it's a poor attempt at comedy, that is FILLED with non-stop sex, nudity, and cuss words. I found the gags very offensive and just over-used!! Scream face smoking weed!! Seriously is that the best they could do? The Wayne Bros. Need an early retirement. This just wasn't funny! I found it very hard to watch at some parts, because it was just sooo offensive and crude!!! It's middle school potty humor, and I would hope that our filmmakers can do better than this!!
