Scary Movie (2000)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Overrated and overhyped

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a fun, over-the-top and crude spoof of scary movies. It's a cult film, as it has many memorable qualities to it, including funny characters and crazy situations. Although, some jokes don't work, and are either too stupid or too crude to get a laugh out of you. But there are clever jokes too, cleverly spoofing other films. There are also jokes that are so overly outrageous and offensive you can't help but laugh. Scary Movie is entertaining and is self aware of it's dumbness as well. Because of this, it gets a 7/10. You may not like it, but it's a movie that you need to see to believe!!!!

Taking popular films from the 90s and replicating specific scenes and plots to create a spoof film sounds incredibly lazy. Surprisingly the originality comes from transforming these horror films into comedic sketches that will certainly make the originals less scary. A group of high schoolers have their past come to haunt them as a masked serial killer slashes his way through each one. Borrowing the plot of 'Scream' and entangling it with threads from 'The Usual Suspects' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. Wayans attempted to include as many film references as possible, and half the fun is identifying them. "Ohhh there's 'The Matrix' 360 freeze frame!", "the classic "I see dead people" line, niceee!" and "Amistad II instead of 'Titanic'? Sure, I'm onboard". Certain imitations were hilarious such as 'The Blair Witch Project' woodland run and the cinema viewing of 'Shakespeare in Love'. It's certainly a good time when with friends, but is it actually a decent film? Well, yes and no. The horrendous overacting is humorous at first but quickly becomes tiresome as Cindy consistently screams in fear and runs away like a headless chicken. For me, a large portion of the slapstick humour and "witty" dialogue were misses. These spoof films rely on you watching the films that it is attempting to mimic, so if you haven't watched any you will not find this funny at all. At the time of this review I haven't seen 'Miss Congeniality' so the entire beauty pageant scene was wasted on me. The script relied heavily on visual comedy which mostly comprised of grotesque uninspired actions such as farting inconveniently. May have been funny in the 70s but not anymore, come on. What this flick does do is introduce us to the character Brenda who, whilst criminally underused in this, is a massive highlight in future sequels. This is, for me, my least favourite of the original trilogy. A solid watch if you are drunk with friends, but unfortunately comes across as unintelligent and unfunny for most of its runtime.

This is Scary Movie. Like, THE Scary Movie. The movie that made fun of horror movies, aptly and plainly named "Scary Movie". The film that's had an entire generation crack up and still, today, reference its many hilarious moments as modern day lore. The time is 2000. The crack of the new millennium and an entire people fed up with the blatancy of contemporary horror, with all its predictability and sameness, what with the countless modern slashers coming out at the time and what not. Along comes this film, a Wayans brothers' production, with a style of humor that is so comically exaggerated and contagious lots of scenes remain references today. I really can't think of another explanation that the people putting this down are just prudes who can't take a fun ride every once in a while and just are incapable of seeing this for what it is, because it most certainly works fantastically at what it does.

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.
