Scary Movie Review

I'm going to keep the plot summary fairly short, because "Scary Movie" is really nothing more than a mix of different slasher films rolled into one. Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) is your typical high school student. Her problems include: dealing with...more

"Scary Movie" was the original title for Wes Craven's ultra-popular "Scream." That is probably the best thing I can say in favor of this slapdash, lackadaisical spoof of the "Scream" movies and the slasher film genre in general. As with most spoofs,...more

The Wayans brothers are back, bringing their wacky "scare tactics" to the screen. It's goofy silly humor, from the most graphic sex jokes you'll ever see on film to those old, tired, pot-head gags, to truly funny spoofs of the fright genre from "I Know...more

Keenen Ivory Wayans's SCARY MOVIE is a sweet little farce in the spirit of the old AIRPLANE movies. Every sentence has a different joke with each being sillier than the last. Although called SCARY MOVIE, the film spoofs everything from horror movies (I...more

Since "Scary Movie" is nothing more than a silly spoof, it would be unfair to measure it against the same standards as you would any other kind of film. The plot, thin as it is, revolves around the myriad of horror movies that have ever come out, and...more

Scary Movie Review

Spoofs have always been a favorite of mine in the movie genre. You go into the movie theatre and laugh until your side hurts. Movies like "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" are some of my favorite spoofs. We haven't had many full-force spoofs of horror...more

Simply outrageous. That's the best description I can provide for /Scary Movie/, an extremely clever satire of movies that satirise the teen slash-and-gore horror genre. more

Scary Movie Review

I generally rate "spoof films" by the number of jokes that work in the film versus those that didn't. Classics like AIRPLANE, TOP SECRET and NAKED GUN get high marks for achieving an exceptionally high ratio of jokes that hit their mark, while others...more

Scary Movie Review

Making a film that’s a spoof of an entire movie genre is kind of a strange proposal. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and even though Mel Brooks has built a pretty successful career out of sending up westerns, space adventures...more

Susan Granger's review of "SCARY MOVIE" (Dimension Films/Miramax) It's ironic that Miramax, the studio that launched the teen-horror satire genre back in 1996 with "Scream," has now done its own raunchy spoof of the trend. Directed by Keenen...more

I distinctly remember attending a sold out show of There's Something About Mary a couple of years ago somewhere in the heart of Albany, New York. During the infamous "Franks and Beans" scene, the enjoyment level in the crowd quickly lifted from chuckle...more
