They´ve got Tim Curry, and no RHPS joke?! CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2001)

AGAIN, THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS - but since the movie has like no plot or surprises, all it spoils are some jokes
I loved Scary Movie. The second installment, well... I´m not so thrilled about. Sure, it had good jokes, but this time, it had a lot of jokes which either were completely unfunny (all those jokes about the handymans hand were SO not funny IMO).
When the movie shines and makes you laugh, it WORKS. For example, you know the scene in the trailer "I hope she doesn´t find out..." "Who?" "Your wife". That scene itself is really unfunny, I wonder why they bothered to put it in the trailer, but a joke about one minute after this which builds on that scene had me howling with laughter.
And finally - maybe I just didn´t catch it, but with the whole movie having a cast of characters just like Rocky Horror Picture Show (they´ve got a couple, a guy in a wheelchair, some other not-so-important characters, a handyman AND Tim Curry in an old creepy mansion), I was really disappointed that there wasn´t a mock-up of it. If there was one, I didn´t notice it.
So, I can´t really recommend this movie. If you liked the first one, go ahead and watch it - you probably won´t be as thrilled as you were with the first one, but you´re pretty much sure to get some good laughs out of it.
Oh, finally - if you liked the first Scary Movie but didn´t like this one, you might want to check out "Shriek (if you know what I did...)", an (unfortunately) straight-to-video release. It´s a movie I personally liked even more than the first Scary Movie, maybe because it was really low on gross-out jokes. Hey, I liked Can´t Hardly Wait better than American Pie, too... so maybe that´s just me.
