Funny, but in a different way...

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2001)

Scary Movie was one of the funniest movies I had ever seen in the theater, due to everyone else laughing hysterically, and there were many scenes that couldn't even be heard at all, because of all of the laughing. So of course, I went to see this one with the same expectations, but was let down.

Now that's not to say the movie wasn't good. It was tons of fun, and gross-out humor, racial and physical slurs abound...but it wasn't Scary Movie. But that was actually a GOOD thing. It wasn't a parody of satire or self-awareness horror flicks (self awareness, meaning the characters realized scary movies existed). This movie pokes fun at such classics as The Haunting, The Exorcist, House on Haunted Hill. But one of the funniest scenes is when they do a rip on Titanic....
If you're looking for the same kind of humor, you're looking in the wrong place. It's not Scream - it's not hip or flashy....it's calmer in it's jokes, just like the classic horror flicks. It's a parody that goes just overboard enough.
