4.0 out of 5 stars Not just scary, there's hilarious, and crude, and . . .
Scary Movie turned out what I thought it to be (a halirious movie with people getting killed off in wacky ways and silly parodies of recent horror movies) and what I didn't think it to be (showing ...ahem... small full frontal male nudity, and a major major gross scene).

2.0 out of 5 stars Silly Movie.
"Scary Movie," whose script liberally borrows from the first two "Scream" flicks, poses the question: can you do a movie that's simultaneously funny and mediocre? It also reinforces the distinction between clever slapstick comedy and cheap gags. Much of the latter surfaces in this film. To be sure, there are laugh-out-loud, tears-down-my-face moments that had this dude...

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just scary, there's hilarious, and crude, and . . ., July 16, 2000
Scary Movie turned out what I thought it to be (a halirious movie with people getting killed off in wacky ways and silly parodies of recent horror movies) and what I didn't think it to be (showing ...ahem... small full frontal male nudity, and a major major gross scene). The Wayans have majorly beat the "There's Something About Mary" creators with the most gross-out jokes ever displayed in a movie. Anyway, Scary Movie was a good funny movie. The acting, for a parody, was great. And even though it followed Scream by every scene almost, there were other movies parodied and mentioned. For example: I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Matrix, American Pie, The Blair Witch Project, Amistad, Shakespeare in Love, Friday the 13th, and I even caught something that dealt with The Exorcist. And how they copied Tatum's death scene was hilarious. If I say anymore, I will give out what plot here is to the movie, so I'm going to stop. Go check it out!

4.0 out of 5 stars I ... SAW ..... SCARY MOVIE!, July 19, 2000
Hey, Scary Movie wasn't so much of a scary movie afterall. Instead, it is one helluva roller-coaster parody of the recent box-office hits like Matrix and the likes of Scream that promises to bring you a ceaseless 1 and 1/2 hour of nauseous, dizzying, raucous laughter.

Scary Movie not only spoofs hits like Sixth Sense and I Know What You Did Last Summer, it also pokes fun at racism and bimbo-hood, albeit done in the light of humor.

To really enjoy Scary Movie, you'd have to dispose yourself of all reason and rationale and laugh it all down, with some popcorn and coke of course(just make sure not to choke on it while guffawing away). The plot may be thin, but it sure is the one of the funniest movie I have ever seen. Those in hope of a really frightening premise would be sorely disappointed, though.

In all, Scary Movie is the epitome of parodies and brings sexual jokes to newer heights of enjoyment. Way to go!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, July 2, 2005
This review is from: Scary Movie (DVD)
Scary movie is a fun movie worth a buy or rent. It's a great movie to watch with your friends at a party. It's a spoof off horror movies, mainly I know what you did last summer and Scream. But it also mocks the Blair Witch Project and the Matrix briefly. If you watched Scream and I know what you did last summer, you'll probably enjoy the jokes better. But, the first time I saw it, I hadn't seen either but still found it hilarious. There's not really much more to say besides it's an absolutely hilarious movie that will deliver plenty of nonstop laughter. This movie throughout delivers a constant amount of laughter and afterwards, you'll be telling your friends about the great jokes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, November 26, 2000
This review is from: Scary Movie (DVD)
Scary Movie was of the best comedies of 2000. With spoofs from movies like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Blair Witch, and The Matrix, this film will be loved by all. The sexual content of the film makes it even funnier. (Not very explicit, shows very little).

In the opening scene with Carmen Electra, you know this movie will be great. Shawn and Marlon Wayans did a great job putting together this film and they got the greatest cast. The whole over-all plot with Doofy is absoleutly hilarious and you'll be laughing out loud at the end of this brilliant movie.

So, be sure to catch Scary Movie. Anybody and everybody will enjoy this spoof. Buy this DVD and enjoy.

HAPPY VIEWING!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good Blu-ray transfer, November 22, 2007
By 
This review is from: Scary Movie [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I was very pleased with this blu-ray transfer. This Blu-ray title looks very good on my 65" Mitsubishi 1080p DLP running off my PS3. It is definitely superior to some of the Paramount and WB catalog titles I have purchased. I would highly recommend this purchase, especially if you are a fan of this franchise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stupid Fun, June 11, 2001
By 
Carl Mack (Palm Springs, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scary Movie (VHS Tape)
In this day and age I like to watch movies that help me forget about all the problems of the world and just laugh. This is one of them. It truly shows how moronic the slasher films are. Maybe they went a bit excessive on the bathroom humor but that can be overlooked. I rarely stopped laughing from start to finish and now own this movie and have watched it several times. I recommend this movie to lift your spirits when you are feeling down because beleive me, you will laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gave it 4 stars for the effort of humor., June 7, 2001
By 
Rebecca (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scary Movie (VHS Tape)
I saw SCARY MOVIE in the theaters last summer with my older sister. We laughed, of course - I couldn't stop laughing - but it was more like sick humor. Also, all they were doing throughout the flick was offending other movies and stuff [i.e.: THE SIXTH SENSE, THE MATRIX, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, SCREAM]. There really was no point to this flick, except to make fun of everyone and everything. Which is cool...but only up to a point. What I did think was cleaver was the way they named the characters. Anne Faris's character was Cindy Campell (as in Neve Campell's character, Cindy in SCREAM) and then there was Buffy Gibnore, as in Sarah Michelle Gellar's character in I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. I also liked the part when James Van der Beek popped up in one of the sceens - that was funny. The acting was pretty well-done, too. But still, some of the movies they made fun of I don't think they should have, such as THE SIXTH SENSE, because that's one of my favorite films. I know the offensive parts shouldn't have been taken seriously, but some people find it offensive, anyway. Still, a great flick (strictly for the mature adult/teenage audiences only) to kick back and relax with your best buds. It might not be the kind of flick you'd want to buy...but if you can get it for free or rent it, then it's a good flick to watch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Silly Movie., October 29, 2002
By 
This review is from: Scary Movie (DVD)
"Scary Movie," whose script liberally borrows from the first two "Scream" flicks, poses the question: can you do a movie that's simultaneously funny and mediocre? It also reinforces the distinction between clever slapstick comedy and cheap gags. Much of the latter surfaces in this film. To be sure, there are laugh-out-loud, tears-down-my-face moments that had this dude howling hysterically. But these jokes are all-too-obvious to be considered clever, and they wear thin real fast in this film, which richly earned its R-rating. A sample of the movies/clips that are being targeted for laughs? "The Matrix," "The Sixth Sense," "Shakespeare in Love," and a dog-tired reinterpretation of the Budweiser "whaaazzzup" commerical. Oh, I forgot about the anatomy and bodily fluids "humor," too. And for a group of allegedly heterosexual men, the Wayans brothers have a curiously strange fascination with homosexuality. There's a subplot involving one of the characters who may or may not be gay, and while it's not bad, I'm like, "c'mon." Director Keenan Ivory Wayans already ran the gay stereotype thing to the ground with the yawn-inducing "Men on Film" in his "Living Color" series. Can we move on? "Scary Movie"'s appeal will depend on how much you can tolerate buffonery. You may laugh throughout the movie, but you may not want to look at yourself in the mirror the morning after.
