At parts funny, but overall not substantial

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2001)

Ok, just to set the record straight, I though the original 'Scary Movie'
was tons of funny and really hilarious. I had high hopes that the level
of humor would be as funny as the first, but was kinda disappointed.

The movie started out really funny, with a right-on spoof of 'The
Excorcist'. From there on, the jokes kept on coming, and occasionally
were quite hilarious. Hanson's hand had my friend and I rolling in the
aisles. But after a while, tediousness set in and the jokes lost their
punch.The reason I think the first installment was so successful is
because this kind of spoof was so fresh and new. But now, it is kinda
played out and even the extremely short running time seemed way to long.
In short, 'Scary Movie 2' is ok summertime fun, but I would really
suggest waiting for video; if at all.
My rating: 6 out of 10
