October 31, 2011An obvious mickey take that had some rather funny and clever moments parodying other movies. The father of all parodies, this spawned several others. But this is original and an easy watch. I loved the bit with the Scream guy smoking pot, really funny face.

September 20, 2011Scary Movie is by the best of the four films in the franchise. This film actually had good humorous bits that actually made me laugh out loud. The film doesn't have the same problem of subsequent sequels, notably the third and the fourth in having good ideas to create an average,... read more

There's energy and glee in the movie, as if the Wayans brothers were still little boys, desperately working to out-gross each other. Naughty little boys and girls everywhere, even those who have offic... Full Review

Would it be asking too much if the hit-and-miss jokes could maybe nudge an inch beyond the obvious?

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Labored, Naked Gun-ish quotes from The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and The Usual Suspects merely congratulate us for recognizing them. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Everyone plays his or her part with just enough unself-conscious seriousness for the jokes to work.

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
The Wayans have shown they have more talent than this. Full Review

It's just crude, rude and socially unacceptable. Full Review

Don't be surprised if Scary Movie spawns itself.
