I cracked up at every single moment of this movie. It was the funniest thing I saw since Steve Urkel. (Laughter), I recall the moment where James Woods was a priest and came to a haunted house to perform an excorcism, the gas was funny. The puke was dirty, but this movie lived up to expectations and is a good follow-up to the first movie.

People that have no sense of humour will not like this movie. However if you want to laugh rent or buy it. Tim Curry is great and Joe Elliot has a scene stealing performance as the HANDYMAN. Absolutally helarious for the first hour. The last half hour goes downhill therefore only 4 stars.

aside from one hysterical recurring sequence,this movie is not very
funny.it has a few other funny moments,but not very many and they are
mostly mildly amusing at best.this movie is sicker than the first
one,and not in a good way.i found it too sick for my tastes,but i did
watch to the end.thankfully,it has a short running time of less than 90
minutes.it's also slower than the first one.again,it's not for the
easily offended.i wasn't really any different from the first,other than
it is not as good.but,just like the first,it would have worked as a
horror movie,more than a spoof.this is a movie that i have no desire to
watch again,for a very long time.for me,Scary Movie 2 is a 2.25/5

If you're gonna get this movie, get it dead cheap, cos otherwise you'll be moaning about your loss of money. The first Scary Movie promised no sequel, and at the time of writing, the third one is already at the cinemas, so we'll soon see which is worse.

Nearly all the characters return from the first one, except those ones who were very obviously killed off. Anna Faris is gonna be known as "that chick from the Scary Movie trilogy", which could be something she'll live to regret - she could be known as Erica, the girl who's baby was given to Monica and Chandler in the last series of Friends. Shawn and Marlon Wayans return, as do Brenda Meeks, who's boyfriend Ray, is still as confused about his sexuality - although there was more focus on this in the first one. Thankfully! For some strange reason, they're joined by Tim Curry (no doubt the 'highlight' of his career), in a role which is neither funny, or up to his usual menacing standards. There's lot of cheap laughs at people in wheelchairs (played brilliantly by the 'balding' David Cross)

The whole film is mainly a spoof of House On Haunted Hill, just with no Catherine Zeta Jones or Owen Wilson. (Boo) Other films that have been spoofed, are Charlie's Angels, Mission: Impossible II, The Exorcist (very funny opening scene), Hannibal, Save The Last Dance and many more - how many can you spot? (There's also a character called Megan Voorhees) The Save The Last Dance spoof (where Shorty is teaching Cindy to act 'ghetto') is quite funny, as is the Exorcist spoof. Although sickening, the projectile vomiting incident is quite funny. And he tongue used in the spoof of The Exorcist is the tongue used in the original Exorcist movie. Strange but true. The film falls slightly flat after the opening scene, although the scene with the basketball, and them all acting up to the camera, is quite good.

Something extremely ridiculous that happened was the fact that Marlon Brando was originally supposed to appear as one of the priests in the opening scene (I can't quite see it somehow.) He was paid $1 million to play Father McFeely. He TOOK the money and accepted the role, but got pneumonia a few days before shooting his scenes. Therefore, he was no longer in the film. Let that be a lesson: always pay them afterwards! :)

If you liked the original, you'll probably like this one too on the first watch. Just not re-watchable.

The first and third scary movies were spoofs off of real scary movies. This movie has it's own plot... and isn't really incredibly funny. There are funny characters and funny parts... but overall the movie isn't hilarious. It wasn't absolutely horrible, but certainly could've been much better. I suppose there were'nt enough real scary movies to make spoofs. The movie would've been 0 stars if it wasn't for the actors. Rent this, that way you can get rid of it if you hate it. Buy it if you like it. This movie is kind of gross... which makes it funny in some parts... weird in others... and just stupid in others...

This movie is about a group of college students going to a haunted house to do research. Here they find weird things happening... and a ghost is acting strange. Will they make it out alive?

This movie has it's funny parts, but there aren't as many as one would hope. See this one before the other two and get it out of the way.

part with James Woods, which is truly ill but hilarious, the rest of this movie falls flat compared to #1. Everything is just too forced and stretched. Rent it, or catch the first 10 minutes on Cable.

I don't know why so many people don't like this movie. It's so funny. There are jokes from everything from Amittyville Horror to mission imposible. In my opinion the 1st scary movie was ok, the 2nd was the best and the 3rd was the weakest. These are spoofs so i'm not judging on acting(though it's pretty good in the 1st 2) I got many a laughs. So loosen up, It's a comedy and some have no sense of humor so you should find another genre.

i didn't like this one very much at all. scary movie was ok, but scary movie 3 is the best (of course it lacks a lot of the characters in the previous films). i dunno, i just didn't think it was very funny, but rather disgusting. i give it 2.75 stars.

I enjoyed this movie alot . I dont know why nobody likes it it is very funny and creative. people just dont have a sense of humor anymore. This about a bunch of colage students who are tricked into going to a haunted house and must battle there way out and destroy a polterguist tobefore time runs out and they are all captured by the ghost . I recomend this to people who like Comedys and the dvd has some pretty cool special features buy this you wont be disapointed

Scary Movie 2 is funny, when it isn't shockingly gross, and constantly swearing. This movie has so many sex gags, there are almost as many as the times this movie says the f word, being every other sentence. However, the funny parts include Cindy running in slow motion to stop a ghost, the ghost falling down the stairs, (...) But, the sick parts include a scene with a black light, and the part with Cindy and Bobby in a room together. If it sounds like you just couldn't stomach all the sick things in this movie, then don't see it, but if you think you can, well then enjoy.
