Scary Movie

Plot synopsis:
Teenager Drew Decker is home alone when she receives a phone call. The caller is persistent to find out her name, but she doesn't give in. The caller then reveals he is looking at her. Scared, Drew grabs a baseball bat and answers the front door (thinking it is the caller behind) and attacks a group of trick-or-treaters. The caller then appears in her house, dressed as Ghostface, and proceeds to chase her outside, where he rips her clothes off, which leaves her in white bra and thong. She runs into the sprinklers in her bikini; the killer catches up with her and stabs her in the breast and pulls out an implant. She runs along the road and sees her father, only to be run over by him while being distracted by her mother giving him fellatio. She is then murdered.Cindy Campbell is on her computer when her boyfriend Bobby Prinze appears in the window. Bobby is upset because his relationship with Cindy "isn't going anywhere" (i.e., they have not slept together). Even though he expresses this to her, she refuses and Bobby leaves.The next day in school, Cindy meets with Bobby and the rest of her friends, Brenda Meeks, Greg Phillipe, Ray Wilkins, and Buffy Gilmore. At the school, news teams are trying to interview the police and students who knew the girl who was killed the night before (her name is known as Drew Decker). The most prominent among the reporters is Gail Hailstorm, author of the recently released book You're Dead, I'm Rich. Cindy points out to the others that Drew's murder happened exactly one year after they accidentally killed a man during a night of drunk driving, and dumped his body off a pier. Greg swears the group to a pact that they will reveal what happened that night, and becomes physically abusive to Cindy when she exhibits reluctance.One class, Cindy receives a note from someone telling her that they know about the incident with the man they killed. Cindy looks outside to see the killer waving at her.After football practice, Ray and Greg are in the locker room with a bunch of other guys, and when Ray and everyone else leaves Greg for the showers ("Don't let Uncle Ray catch you!"), the latter goes off to the punching bag. After he finishes and take a shower, he finds a note tucked in the door of his locker showing a picture of his small penis. Enraged, he goes to Cindy and the others and tells them about the note, and is ridiculed for it.Buffy, competing in a beauty pageant, does a dramatic acting piece during the talent portion. During her reading, Greg is murdered by the killer in the balcony. Seeing this, Buffy attempts to warn everyone, but her desperate pleas are taken by the audience and judges as an exceptional acting performance and Buffy stops caring about Greg when she won.That night, Cindy is attacked by the killer, but she calls the cops and the killer escapes. Bobby shows up with the same gloves and knife as the killer, and is arrested. Cindy goes to stay with Buffy that night but receives a call from the real killer, which results in Bobby's release. Bobby and Cindy later bump into each other at school, but their reconciliation is awkward, stemming in part from Cindy not getting over Ginger Spice leaving the Spice Girls.The killer confronts Buffy in the girls' locker room. Making a sarcastic, meta-fictional observation about horror movie clichés, Buffy mocks the killer, even as he stabs her, and continues to do so even after he decapitates her. In order to get her to really shut up, he throws her head in the lost and found bucket.Ray and Brenda go to the movies to watch Shakespeare in Love. Ray, while in a bathroom stall, peeps in on another occupant, and is impaled through the head with a penis. The killer then attempts to kill Brenda in the auditorium, but because of her discourteous behavior, the other patrons kill her before he has a chance.During a party at her house, Cindy has sex with Bobby. At the same time, the killer shows up at Shorty's house to kill him and his friends, but gets high on marijuana with them instead. When they are rapping with each other, the killer raps and kills everyone at the same time except for Shorty, who was beside him all the time. Shorty congratulates the killer for the rap.At Cindy's house, the killer shows up and apparently stabs Bobby. As Cindy attempts to attend to Bobby's wound, Bobby shoots Shorty in the lung, causing marijuana smoke to exude. He reveals that the blood from his "wound" is ketchup, as he was never stabbed at all. Ray then appears, very much alive, and reveals that he and Bobby are copying the killer. When Cindy asks for a motive, Bobby points out that they don't need one, because horror movies like Scream do not boast logically coherent elements like plot or motive. Bobby also sarcastically suggests that it was lack of sex that drove him to do this, and reveals that he and Ray are gay lovers who will start a new life once they kill Cindy, a crime they will get away with because they are merely copycatting a real serial killer who actually exists. To conceal their guilt, they decide to stab one another in order so that the authorities will believe them to be victims of the real killer. As Ray stabs Bobby, Cindy yells "You guys are psychos! You've seen one too many TV shows!", only to have Ray respond angrily stabs Bobby to death while saying "Watching television shows doesn't create psycho killers - canceling TV shows does! The Wayans Brothers was a good show - and we didn't even get a final episode!" (thus breaking character, since the actor playing Ray is Shawn Wayans). However, the real killer appears shortly afterwards, stabbing Ray to death.The killer then attacks Cindy, but after she repels him, he escapes. The police show up and take Cindy to the police station, where they find out that Buffy's brother Doofy (Dave Sheridan) was actually faking his mental retardation and is the real killer,(The Usual Suspects style) and is in cahoots with Gail Hailstorm. After Doofy and Gail escape, the sheriff and Cindy find Doofy's disguise in the street and as Cindy cries out in the street over this discovery, she is run over by a passing car, while the driver is getting fellatio.During the end credits, two scenes are shown:~ Shorty talking to the audience about his plans to rob a supermarket.~ Doofy breaking up with his vacuum and making love with it.

Review:
I am a fan of good horror and good satire, so I was able to recognize and appreciate the jokes.True, this film relies a bit much on poddy humor, but at the same time, there is a cleverness in the way all the films being spoofed (and there are many) get twisted together and played with here.
Seeing, however, as even some of the earliest `Friday the 13th' and `Halloween' films seem like ancient history to today's core movie going public, `Scary Movie' draws upon more contemporary examples of the genre like `Scream' and `I Know What You Did Last Summer' as its source of inspiration.
In its opening stretches, `Scary Movie' has a great deal of fun parodying the many ludicrous conventions that have long defined these films:  the use of 30-year old actors to portray empty-headed, nubile adolescents; the heavy emphasis on teen sexuality and partial nudity; the inane actions of the killer's victims who seem to do everything possible to hurl themselves into dangerous situations; and the oh-so-predictable false scare (usually caused by a leaping cat) followed immediately by the inevitable killer's attack.Directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans and boasting a screenplay concocted by no fewer than six (count em SIX) writers, `Scary Movie' establishes a high speed rhythm and pace that the filmmakers manage to sustain through most of the film's 88-minute running time  though there is a noticeable tendency on the part of the film to lag in the last half hour.
Part of the problem could be that, as with most films made up essentially of sound and sight gags haphazardly strung together, it is inevitable that some of the bits will succeed better than others and that, as the movie rolls along, the inspiration will run a little dry and the humor will become less spontaneous and more forced.
Indeed, this type of movie genre parody has always worked best when applied in small doses on TV series like `Saturday Night Live,' `In Living Color' and even the `Carol Burnett Show.'  Stretched out to full length, such concepts often suffer the curse of diminishing returns.
The overall good-natured quality of the film and its fairly high laugh ratio of gems to clunkers make `Scary Movie' an imperfect but generally likeable popcorn entertainment..
A group of teenagers are targeted by a serial killer exactly one year after they ran over a man.In 1996 Scream was a film that reinstated the slasher horror genre and Keenan Ivory Wayans' spoof is a true and funny testament to that horror classic.Modern spoofs often contain slapstick humour, stereotypes and a fairly predictable plot.
This is evident with this 2000 hit and is pure silly entertainment that you can't help but love and laugh along with despite the conventional approach.Recent releases such as Disaster Movie have brought the spoof genre to an all time low.
In the nineties we had classic spoofs such as Austin Powers and Naked Gun, silly but with a sharp and entertaining plot.Scary Movie has such a good plot, choosing to focus its energy on Scream and I know what you did last summer, that you forget its intentions to demean other films and therefore, are able to sit back and enjoy the ride.The opening is pretty much Scream with some great moments of slapstick in, and crude slapstick at that with safety signs, sexual references and an out of control car.This opening sets the tone for an engrossing comedy and viewers are thrust head first into typical teenagers lives, filled with some fine slapstick humour and stereotypes lives There is a consistency to Scary Movie.
His close and unflinching style gives that humorous and equally horrific substance to fly across both genres into this tantalizing tale.Spoofs are always worth viewing for their sheer cheek to criticize blockbusters and Scary Movie is no exception with its pin point accuracy on Scream and other horrors.
Scary Movie is now (it was a little while ago it was Me, Myself & Irene) my favorite comedy of the year.
This film gives another word to the spoof/comedy genre, and even though it doesn't make a breakthrough like Airplane!, it is still very, very funny.
Sure it's not for everyone, but for those who have seen all the scary movies parodied in this film (example- Scream, Scream 2, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, Halloween, The Shining, etc) and can enjoy a good comedy, this film is definitely for you.But the plot is unexplainable, but the jokes are.
While "Scream" tried to be taken seriously , "Scary Movie" mocks about everything possible in the genre in a raw way.Anna Faris and the Wayans brothers deliver a funny performance.
First,i'd like to apologize about my bad English,i'm not American.Now the review,people will disagree,but,this is one of the funniest movies i ever seen.Warning:If you like political correctness,this movie is totally not for you,it goes from suicide jokes to ejaculation jokes,it has lots of sex jokes,some are unfunny and kinda gross,but,are compensate by how other jokes are hilarious.
Now,"Scary Movie" parodies slasher teen movies,mainly,"Scream" and "i know what you did last summer",but,take jabs at other films even "matrix".So the film synopsis is the same than from "Scream" and "IKWYDLS",only adding stupid,because it is a stupid version of these films.Sinopsis:stupid teens accidentally kill a man,one year later,these teens are chased by a stupid killer.See?Now,despite being one of the funniest movies i ever seen,it still has it bad moments,i mean,even naked gun has bad moments.One of the problems is after a while,the movie loses it steam,and the jokes get bad (those are probably the Seltzer- Friedberg parts of the script) but still it's a very funny movie and i recommend to everyone who likes stupidity and spoofs,even those who don't like may enjoy it.
Along comes this film, a Wayans brothers' production, with a style of humor that is so comically exaggerated and contagious lots of scenes remain references today.
`Airplane!' meets `Scream' could've been the pitch made by  director Keenan Ivory Wayans and his talented sibling screenwriters Marlon & Shawn to their studio, Dimension, in this riotously funny, hit and miss, parody of the horror genre.
Taking merciless jibes at the slasher films including `I Know What You Did Last Summer' among others, the satire focuses on B.A. Corpse High School and the costumed serial killer who begins a string of nasty killings starting with bodacious Electra (aping Drew Barrymore's signature opening to the first `Scream') whose silicone implants can't save her attacker nor from getting run over by her parents (oblivious to their daughter's plight by engaging in oral sex, the first of many sexual jokes throughout).
Though not as hilarious as the granddaddy of all spoofs `Airplane!', `Scary Movie' (incidentally this was the original title of the first `Scream'), does attempt to get as many laughs for its buck in taking shots at the mentally ill, smoking dope, homosexuals, genitalia, and for me the biggest laugh was the predominately white film audience silencing an obnoxiously loud black character through all types of violence.
The Wayans brothers - Shawn as Ray, a football player with sexuality issues and Marlon as Shorty, the fun-loving pot head who hooks up the killer with some hilarious moments of getting baked - co-scripted this lampoon (and get onscreen credit with co-writers Buddy Johnson, Phil Beauman, Jason Friedberg & Aaaron Seltzer) and provide most of the laughs often at their own expense and with a helping hand from elder brother Keenan (who has a cameo in a trailer for `Amistad 2'), clearly know how to make one laugh and even if their tv series for 5 seasons was axed (as it is fondly recalled in the film's climax), be certain that an inevitable sequel will unearth itself in all its grotesque giddiness ensuing..
Not really knowing what to expect when I went to saw this, other than a parody of the recent crop of teen horror films started by Wes Craven's excellent Scream, this was utterly puerile and silly Amercian parody humour.It was well done though, unlike the Leslie Nielsen bores that we have seen in recent years.
Here however the gags aren't consistent and rely more on a mix of specific movie spoofs and some very crude jokes that aren't funny.
The best example of this is the Matrix spoof; I'm sure on release it was topical and original and drew many laughs, but seeing it now it just seems old - so many others have done it by now and it just seemed obvious rather than funny.The cast are OK but they are very wide characters and none of them really have the spoof ability of, say, Leslie Nielsen.
The rest of the cast are average - none of them stand out but they just about manage to do what the material requires of them (which ain't much).Overall this film has just about enough laughs to justify watching, but if you haven't seen the crop of teen slashers made around the time then you'll often not get the jokes.
I kept hearing about this film during my first few years at secondary school, as Scary Movie 3 had just come out.
Anna Faris will most likely have a great movie career, the Wayans brothers were a nice touch, as was Shannon Elizabeth, Lochlyn Munro and another intriguing character, Regina Hall.
The language is brutal, too: tons of profanity in this film.Funny, but comedies for years made the public laugh without having to resort to profanity and sex remarks, like this film does.
This film is about the same standard as 'Silence of the Hams' from a few years back but due to a few factors (mainly marketing) whereas 'Hams' did zero at the box office, 'Scary Movie' was a major hit..
The worse these jokes are, the more funny the referent, so long as we accept that someone (like Murphy) really does use this stuff, and relative knuckleheads really do laugh at it.Think I'm making this up?
I think when I just need a good laugh and a movie that doesn't require brains, I love to watch parodies.
You are guaranteed to have some really great laughs with "Scary Movie".The cast, you can tell, they had so much fun making this movie and it shows.
I know that sounds stupid, but it gave me such a good laugh.It has an amusing ending of making fun of The Usually Suspects with Doofy.
It does have very crude and sexual humor, but like I said, sometimes when you just wanna let go and have fun, you just can make any movie into a good one.
It was better than "Don't Be A Menace..." I would definitely recommend this movie that enjoys a good laugh.
The only laugh I had in renting this movie was in reading on the box that someone considered it "razor-sharp" satire and an "outrageously funny parody".The box was hilarious!.
but THIS?!It's like watching a stand-up comedian who's failing miserably to entertain his audiance and resorts to penis/breast/sex/body fluid jokes.This movie is so unbelivable pathetic in its atempts to entertain, it is sad.I am honestly lost of words trying to describe how amazingly stupid and offesive this piece of s**t is.As the movie is rated 'R', and jokes are something no sane person above the age of 14 would find even the slightest humorous one might think that the "movie" was effectivly killing it self, but that didn't happen.
The filmakers filled the film with grotty jokes when they knew quite well that the majority of the audience watching it would be about 12, (hardly anyone takes notice of ratings these days) Scary movie added nothing to the comedy genre what so ever..
I'm no prude but this was way overboard.There were funny and entertaining parts to the movie but the whole thing was ruined by all the gratuitous sex.Save your money.Not appropriate for teens.
when i first saw the trailer for this movie, i thought it was going to be hilarious; unfortunately it wasn't as funny as i had hoped.
So I was thinking  to see Scary Movie(same director).On the trailer the just put in all the fun stuff(and there are not much fun stuff) and then on the movie it´s just awful sex jokes.rating: 1/5.
In fact, the only so-called "comedy" that was as horrible as this one, was "There's Something about Mary"."Scary Movie" is an obvious, desparate attempt at duplicating the humour of classics like "Airplane", "Top Secret" and the "Police Squad" / "Naked Gun" series.
But if you're a fan of good spoofs and parodies, if you think this movie is going to be anything like those - think again!
"Scary Movie" is a parody film about Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her dimwitted and muttonheadedfriends, who run their car over a guy whom they think is dead, and they dump his body into the water.
You get parodies of a few 90's horror films ("Scream", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "The Blair Witch Project", "The Sixth Sense"), a really, really pointless plot that makes NO SENSE whatsoever (not even the ending made any sense!), and everyone knows what you get when you have a horrible plot...a horrible script!!!
The WAAZAAP joke...can you say reshoot?The Farrelly Brothers do gross and somewhat offensive humor; Wayans tried desperately to make the same movie, only his humor came from heavy people and homosexuals, since they are in and of themselves "funny" and rip for the picking (is your sarcasm detector going off?
They were gross and stupid...I would've paid $4.50 to see American Pie if I wanted to see sex jokes...I know that this was just a parody and these movies shouldn't be taken seriously, but when you're spoofing horror movies, you don't need the same lame jokes over and over!.
The trailer to me indicated a spoof of the horror film genre, done in a light and humorous fashion that our family could watch and enjoy together.
I hid in the theater after watching "Scary Movie" until most patrons had left because I didn't want anyone to see that I had just seen that trash.
I did see someone I knew in the theater, noticed her laughing, and now I think a lot less of her.I had the overwhelming feeling that I needed a shower after watching "Scary Movie".
The scariest aspect of this movie is that it made it to the screen in the first place, that some people apparently think it is funny and/or worth watching and that some well-known film critics who should have known better actually gave it fairly positive reviews.
Scary Movie (Scream's original title) is a 90 minute laugh out loud experience you need to witness.
I'm sure in years to come there will be spoofs of Scary Movie.
If you want to laugh, watch one of Mel Brooks' parodies, or the Monty Python films, or even The Pink Panther movies.
Whether or not you want "Everyone in a Panic" renewed the face of the American besteirol and scored the first big success in terms of comedy in the early 2000s, a movie that draws on horror movies to create satire is simply great, and everyone in a panic, can do it perfectly, it is impossible not to watch the first film in this saga without losing air or not to cry with their absurd and utterly stupid jokes that catch us for their cheap and stupid, comical, offensive and stupid humor.
Watched it today for the first time in almost 2 decades and was doing the same thing while laughing about this classic.Besides this scene I couldn't remember much about the movie and it ended up being pretty good.
And I was bit disappointed in not getting a chance to watch it in Theaters but it didn't matter because when I saw this movie, I laughed out loud various times and it the whole movie was great!
Scary movie spoofs loads of horrors and comedy's,it spoofs scream,I know what you did last summer,the sixth sense,scream 2,the Blair witch project,American pie,American beauty,Carrie,the shining,Halloween and psycho.
Scary Movie is the funniest film of 2000, without a doubt.
I believe that Scary Movie could be funny to people that were locked in a library for 30 years with no one else to talk to and suddenly someone played it to them.
The jokes are unintelligent, the acting is terrible (like in most of Wayans' movies) and what comes out is a sense of rudeness to the audience.
Let me tell you one thing: SCARY MOVIE is a waste of time.
If you have seen "Scream", "I Know What You Did..." and those movies, you'll love it.
The best comedy spoof ever!!!This movie is funny on all levels and makes people laugh so hard that it give you sore throat.The first time i saw the preview for the film,i knew it was going to be a world wide smash hit at the box office and it did!
All the stars of the film give very funny performances including Marlon Wayans,Cheri Oteri,Dave Sheridan,Shawn Wayans and Shannon Elizabeth.Great jokes,alot of sick humor and how they made thoes great movie send-ups.If you love movies like There's Something About Mary and other spoof movies,i recommmend.
The jokes are funnier if you've seen the original horror movies, but they are still funny even on their own.
Scary Movie mocks about EVERYTHING that happened in Scream 1 - 3, and in such a twisted way that you cannot help but to laugh your a** off!
You have seen every funny part in the film..I liked Shorty a lot, especially the way he referred to everyone as, "Son", even the female characters.For everyone who has praised this movie so far, you are entitled to your opinion.
i saw the previews for Scary Movie, and it looked extremely funny.
In my opinion, Scary movie is a funny, well done spoof.A couple parts were a little dumb, but thats all.
