Product Description
From Amazon.com
If you've seen Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, then you know the entire plot of Scary Movie. That's okay, though, because this is a parody, and it helps to know the story in order to be able to get the jokes. No, the biggest surprise here is not the story as much as the amount of full-frontal male nudity. Really, in addition to all the dick jokes (and the ass jokes and fart jokes), there's a couple of shots of the male member, one of which is erect and used as a weapon. Scary Movie somehow ended up with an R rating, which in a sense is groundbreaking; perhaps our ratings board is loosening up after all.
But is it funny? That's the most important question, and the answer to that is yes. In the vein of Airplane!, with a dash of the Farrelly brothers, Scary Movie keeps throwing jokes at you one after another. The law of averages says some of them have to hit, and enough of them do to keep the movie entertaining. Unlike the makers of Airplane!, however, the Wayans brothers aren't making this movie out of a love of the genre, and unlike the Farrelly brothers, they don't make fun of retarded people with any sort of respect, so the humor throughout feels a lot uglier. Still, there are enough funny scenes in Scary Movie to make the viewing experience worthwhile. Special credit must go to Lochlyn Munro as Greg, the over-the-top jock, who steals the movie up until the time he's gotta die.--Andy Spletzer

3.0 out of 5 stars
a few very funny moments,but not enough (2.75/5),
By
This review is from: Scary Movie (Widescreen) (DVD)
i remember watching this movie when it first came out,and thinking itwas a scream.but,after just watching it again today,i have a different opinion.sure,there are a few very funny parts,but for the most part,i just found the movie silly.it definitely is not for anyone easily offended,that's for sure.this certainly isn't the worst movie i've ever seen,and as a spoof,it's OK.it certainly does lampoon a few horror movie and even some non horror movie,with varying degrees of success.ironically it almost works better as a horror movie than a spoof,in my mind.it is certainly watchable and not boring.it just isn't as funny as i originally remembered it.for me,Scary movie is about a 2.75/5

A true gem!!,
By nom-de-nick "nom-de-nick" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scary Movie (Widescreen) (DVD)
Not a five-star film... that's for special movies. But you need to see this!! Yes, the humor is kind of overdone/over the top and/or truly sick at times, but that just adds to it. There are so many films being parodied you lose track, but you almost NEVER stop laughing. This is one worth owning, seriously!
