Probably one of the best comedies along with Airplane! and Liar Liar. It's gross, silly and satirical, and therein lies its charm. The thing about reviewing Comedy is its so subjective - either you find it funny or you don't. In this case,Probably one of the best comedies along with Airplane! and Liar Liar.

This is The. Best. Movie. Ever. It is absolutely hilarious, and the cast is amazing. But, this movie is not appropriate at all. Three instances of full male nudity, female upper nudity, and back nudity of all genders.

This is a pretty funny movie! Although there are a few jokes that are bad, the majority of this film is relatively funny and interesting. Now, I wish I had a shirt that says blunt on it.

Scary Movie (2000) is the first film in the "Scary Movie" parody series that revolves around making fun of what was originally just horror movies, but eventually by the time of the 3rd part, features other movies that were not horror. ScaryScary Movie (2000) is the first film in the "Scary Movie" parody series that revolves around making fun of what was originally just horror movies, but eventually by the time of the 3rd part, features other movies that were not horror. Scary Movie is a very memorable film to me, and really showed what a true spoof is. To me, this film is up there with Airplane! and Spaceballs. The film has non stop humor much like Naked Gun, while having characters that you actually care about and have some development. Directed and written by the Wayans brothers, who also act as main characters in the movie, this film received an R rating, as did the second film. However, 3-5 were directed by different people and received the PG-13 rating, giving them less freedom. Scary Movie was actually a box office hit, making a few hundred million dollars. Acting isn't too bad in this film, and you are constantly entertained. As a bonus, the main antagonist, Ghostface, taken from the popular 90's horror franchise Scream, has some very funny scenes where he interacts with other minor characters. All in all, this is a great spoof movie with an actual story, that is entertaining with decent cinematography and puns. Overall, I give thus film a 8/10.… Expand

The most respectable pro of this film is the jokes and gags almost never cease throughout, and even though most are crude and the plot is slim, it is genuinely hilarious.

In my opinion, this movie is so stupid and so flawed that it's a damned near perfect spoof comedy, cause aren't spoof movies supposed to be those things? Yes, yes they are. Shorty makes this movie 10 times funnier.

First time I saw this, I laughed like hell. It was very funny. Re-seeing this, it's still funny as hell, but some jokes are worn thin. The infantile humour is getting annoying as the movie progresses. Profanity and fifth-grader First time I saw this, I laughed like hell. It was very funny. Re-seeing this, it's still funny as hell, but some jokes are worn thin. The infantile humour is getting annoying as the movie progresses. Profanity and fifth-grader tiltillation is no replacement for what brought the movie down most in my opinion: a dire lack of wit in the dialogue. And by that I mean the British definition (look it up). This is probably the only good movie from the Wayanses before they lost their funny and went desperate, aka: cluttering up movies with subpar spoofs of everything under the sun. This is the only one where the subpar and good parodies are in equal number. For the rest, it's a needle in a haystack. This is probably because... well... they didn't write it. Which begs the question. Why is it that when "Scary Movie" was directed by David Zucker (I still admire the guy for the sheer comedy of "Airplane" and "Naked Gun"), it still blew? Maybe the Wayanses wrote that one.… Expand

I like such movies that makes jokes of another one or with the logic. Of course you need to know the movies, that are copied here. And there are so many funny and today classic scenes here.

Scary Movie is one of those films that does exactly what is says on the box. It's silly, gross, cheesy and fun enough. Perfect for teenagers or drunken college kids.

For itself it is a good spoof movie but also the reason many awful spoof movies were created. Each sequel got worse and worse. With 5 movies this is an achievement that I don't think I can archive willingly (Maybe I am exaggerating because I am incompetent in movie making, but not as much as it should be). But back to this movie: It is a parody of different horror movies, mainly Scream with side jokes for Blair Witch Project, Sixth Sense, American Pie, Matrix and more. The humor / jokes in the movie work really well and play with the stupidity, stereotypes and tropes of Horror Movies. For me >90% of all jokes are funny. The Actors are well chosen for their roles and deliver the stereotypes and their jokes very well. I don't think I should rate the story for itself in a spoof movie that can completely tracked to another movie. I will rate the humor and creativity instead which is a win for this movie. Overall a movie worth watching but not in the Top 10 for spoof movies. Special warning! Like I said each sequel got worse. Stay away as far as possible from the Sequels especially from 4 and 5.… Expand
