Not as fulfilling as the first one, but still good

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2001)

Instead of playing off of the teen horror flicks, the Wayans brothers decided to base it on older horror/thriller movies, such as "Psycho," "The Exorcist," and "Poltergeist," while throwing in things from movies like "Charlie's Angels" and "Mission Impossible 2." Complete it by tying everything together with the Wayans Brand toilet humor (some of it recycled from "Scary Movie" and even "Don't be a Menace in South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood," some of it new), and you have Scary Movie 2.
After the initial sequence, with James Woods and Andy Richter as the Priest and his Assistant, trying to exorcise Natasha Lyonne's character (the possessed Jasonia Voorhees), the movie seems to get lost for about a half hour. All of the sudden it gets good again, when the action starts up (complete with the toilet humor).
The only thing I am curious about is why we heard about Marlon Brando being in the sequel. But surprisingly, he is nowhere to be found.
I think this movie was rushed into the theatres, and if it wasn't, the movie might have lived up to its predecessor, as they would have had more time to hash out plot points that really didn't work in it. But, I was still laughing my head off, especially in the beginning and as the movie started to get good again.
