Pretty stupid, but does have its LOL moments. Cheap, sometimes effective. It did push the grossness envelope back in its day, but today the gags don't hold up as well. Fun for what it is.

I admit that the gross out fusion comedy "Scary Movie" is terrible. However, giving its worst as its best was a bold, appropriate choice for the movie to present itself and earn credit.

Spoofs and satires can be hilarious if made right, but nowadays the genre consists of cheaply made, unfunny movies like this one. This genre needs to be turned in the right direction for once!

Scary Movie has caught my guilty pleasure, its crude and raunchy but I admit that I laughed when I didn't want to. The funny as hell spoofs were eye catching and fun to cam.

The funny as hell spoofs were eye catching and fun to cam. While the critics don't take the tamest of the series's pleasure, Scary Movie is a average blockbuster. When Anna Faris gave up her role in the worst of the Scary Movies- SC5, I was surpirsed how this excellent actor saved herself. Scary Movie might be a extreme- porn theatre film, it won my funny bone.… Expand

Its humor is way too stupid to recommend, but Anna Faris leads the movie to almost victory with her sharp and hilarious performance. I give this movie 51% of a good movie.

En su momento era bastante graciosa y fresca, pero ha envejecido pésimamente mal.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Funny? Yes. Gross? Yes? Bad acting? Yes. Poor dialogue? Yes. Bad writing? Yes. These are the things that comprises the Wayans Brothers' take on slasher parodies. I have to admit, it is funny sometimes, and offensive even. The main problem is the bad acting and the poorly-delivered dialogue that seems to come out of a bad teen movie, if this isn't one.… Expand

Sometimes it's funny, sometimes you wonder who forced you to watch it. Because Scary Movie is nothing more than an attempt to make comedy.

Scary Movie is at first glance a terrible parody film. But first, at that time, subsequent films were not yet known. And second, it 's so bad here, it 's even good.

This adolescent film (one of the most abominable cinematographic genres) was made to mock some well-known horror films. The clearest victim was Wes Craven's film "Scream", but if we pay attention we will see scenes that satirize other filmsThis adolescent film (one of the most abominable cinematographic genres) was made to mock some well-known horror films. The clearest victim was Wes Craven's film "Scream", but if we pay attention we will see scenes that satirize other films such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Blair Witch Project" or "Sixth Sense". Interestingly (or perhaps not so much), the working title of "Scream" was "Scary Movie" and the studio responsible for the two films is the same: Dimension Films. Talking about the plot here would be not only redundant, but it seems to me a mistake: by mentioning the most spoofed films here, I think I have already left enough clues about the plot. Whoever wants to know more, please go see the film.

The film is a satire, it was made to entertain, and it is clearly aimed at young audiences, so it is better not to be expecting something complex or a dramatic show. This is not a movie designed to win Oscars or anything like that. It is a film to make people laugh, for the easy laugh of teenagers who don't think much, love eschatological humor or suffer from a serious obsession with everything related to sexuality. But that does not mean that it is a bad or abominable film, as many teen films really are. In fact, it turned out to be a pleasant film, one that you can't revisit often or make us laugh out loud (although it varies from one person to another) but it will put some smiles in the most circumspect audiences. For me, the film has both good and bad things: I don't like such an immoral humor, but it is impossible not to laugh at some situations. Parodying horror films also helps, although the choice of these films is debatable.

The cast is led by Anna Faris, and she does a satisfying job, just as Regina Hall and Jon Abrahams, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are decent enough, but do not exceed the average. Carmen Electra does not work well as an actress, she appears only to show her generous cleavage whenever necessary, and Shannon Elizabeth is not much better than her. But the one who really does badly in this film is Dave Sheridan, thanks to the horrible and offensive character that happened to him. There is a limit between being politically incorrect and being offensive, and the character Duffy overcomes that limit by the insulting way in which he portrays a mentally retarded man. And it's not even worth mentioning the fact that this character is annoying and not funny at all.… Expand

You should not watch a bad movie made for humor seriously otherwise the movie will be ridiculous.
