OK but disappointing sequel

Rating: 3/10 (15 July 2002)

The first SCARY MOVIE was a guilty pleasure that had a lot of laughs and was so over-the-top that it was also full of surprises. This sequel didn't really introduce anything new, and the first film was so extreme in the gross-out arena that they couldn't have gone any further in this one without getting an NC-17 rating. The clever moments here were few and far between, and it seems as though it is merely a cynical attempt to cash in on a successful franchise. If you liked the first one and it's a rainy night with nothing to do, you might get a laugh out of this, but rent it, certainly don't buy it, and please don't support a SCARY MOVIE 3 if they make one.
