Scary Movie

Pros: Jokes, parody parts, acting, writing, deleted scenes.
Cons: Jokes, duration, parody parts.

This movie was one of those trailer triumphs because it looked really good in the trailers. It seemed like there were going to be lots of laughs just according to the trailer. I’ve been fooled by a good trailer before, so I knew not set my expectations...

Pros: Laugh factor & ripping on crummy movies.
Cons: Not for children, yet people still seemed to bring them.

The movie was definitely made to be a rip off of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and other various movies that recently came out.

I tuned into MTV (Don't ask why) and the Wayans Brothers were talking about the film and why they made...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Fairly Disgusting

Scary Movie is a reasonably good movie. Many of its apparent faults are forgivable, because they are probably intentional, given what the movie is: a super-schlocky spoof of the somewhat hokey horror movies of the last five years or so....

Pros: Some clever gags mocking horror movies; the cast plays the material for all it's worth
Cons: A little (OK, a lot) too heavy on the bathroom humor

In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking, but now God knows, anything goes.

Cole Porter may have written his classic...

Pros: Talented cast, some funny moments
Cons: Most jokes aren't funny

"Scary Movie" is a film that tries to be a comic parody in the mold of the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" movies. Unfortunately, one of the problems with "Scary Movie" is that the parody is too close to the source...

Pros: I didn't see any.
Cons: Everything that wasn't a pro.

A friend at work recommended this movie to me a couple of weeks ago. Well, my wife hates slasher flicks and, since she was out of town on business, I decided to give this one a try. I have really enjoyed the ‘new’ slasher movies in the past 5 years or...

Pros: it's refreshing and original
Cons: my stomach hurt from all the laughing

Okay, I went to see this movie on opening day, not expecting anything, just for the shear guiltless pleasure of laughing. I saw the the trailer and I knew it would be nothing but stupid humor, but sometimes you just want to laugh!

What...

Pros: That it isn't longer than 90 minutes
Cons: Tasteless, Feeble Comedy,

My husband and I decided to go to see Scary Movie over the weekend. We went at my suggestion, as I saw the previews on Comedy Central and since we really liked the Naked Gun series, I thought that a parody on some of the past decade's scary movies might...

Pros: Some humor, clever parodies.
Cons: Offensive, repulsive, boring at times.

There seems to be a sudden boom of gross out humor, and dare to be offensive antics in the movie industry lately. Unfortunately it appears to be a downward trend in movie quality. With the release of Me, Myself & Irene and Scary Movie,...

Pros: It finally ended
Cons: Way to much male frontal nudity for my liking

Having completely failed my mission to find a laugh-so-hard-you-fall-off-you-chair new release to video movie, I decided it was time to take some drastic measures. Yup, that's right, I decided to spend the $7.50 to see a movie at the theater (something...

Pros: Spooky's Mask
Cons: 95% Of The Entire Movie

Scary Movie goes from bad to worse in the amount of time it will take your date to return with your large popcorn-soda combination and box of Junior Mints. I for one am glad that I waited for this bomb to hit video noting that paying theatre prices to...

Pros: often hilarious, clever references and gags
Cons: very inconsistent, characters and story lack substance

There are three camps of opinion on Scary Movie. Theater patrons, of course, have the most important voice, and they turned out in droves to see the film, in some cases over and over again. This led to an inevitable (although widely panned)...

Pros: A few good laughs...
Cons: Way too many jokes fell flat

I would be very curious to see what exactly makes an NC-17 movie anymore. Nowadays, you can get away with a lot and still manage to have an R rating.

This wouldn't bother me nearly so much if parents would actually pay attention to which...

Pros: No mercy. No shame. No sequel.
Cons: Too Long, Too Gross, Too Few Laughs

This movie lampoons "Scream" 1 & 2, "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Sixth Sense", "The Matrix", "The Blair Witch Project", "The Usual Suspects", even "Dawson's Creek" and a...

Pros: had a few funny scenes
Cons: very vulgar, not many well-know actors/actresses
