Two down, two to go.

Rating: 3/10 (6 July 2011)

Once again, the Wayans brothers have trawled the murkiest depths of toilet humour and smut to put together another crude collection of puerile fart, tit, willy and sex gags, loosely tied together by a scrappy horror-based script that parodies everything from genre classics (The Exorcist) to modern clunkers (The Haunting remake), as well as unrelated big-budget blockbusters such as Charlie's Angels, Titanic and Mission Impossible 2.
As with the first film, there has clearly been zero attempt at quality control in the gag department, with even the most utterly moronic and totally cringe-worthy of jokes making it into the final film (there were only two things about Scary Movie 2 that I would describe as genuinely laugh-out-loud funny: the opening scene featuring James Woods and Chris Elliott's inspired performance as Hanson, a crazy caretaker with a withered hand. Still, that's two more than the original, so I guess this silly sequel could actually be considered an improvement!).
Thankfully, the charms of a pre-blonde, pre-surgery Anna Faris and the ample curves of busty babe Kathleen Robertson provide just about enough impetus for guys to persevere to the end (the girls stripping to their underwear is worth the wait); female viewers aren't catered for in the same manner (unless you count Shawn Wayans posing semi-naked with his todger tucked between his legs—eeek!).
3.5 out of 10 (marginally more than I gave the first film), but not good enough for me to round it up to a 4.
