Good is a stretch. "Scary Movie" is as lazy, dumb and offensive as the others. But Hall and Faris as the dotty mothers of the next generation of victims are hilarious, romping about like their Brenda and Cindy have been knocked on the head too often Go to Full Review

Even at a tiny fraction of their laugh power, it’s good to have the Wayans bros back spoofing horror movies, but would it be asking too much if the hit-and-mostly-miss jokes could maybe nudge an inch beyond the obvious? Go to Full Review

Wasting moviegoers’ time with a heap of pandering callbacks wouldn’t be so bad if most of the movie’s jokes were more polished. Go to Full Review

Scary Movie made me laugh about 40% of the time. The other 60% either fell flat or was simply shooting fish in a barrel. Go to Full Review

I’m not going to lie and say 'Scary Movie' is funny or worth the wait. However, I am going to mention that it at least marks a little growth while still not being my bag. Go to Full Review

Anthony 14m Absolutely hilarious. Feels good to have some old fashioned comedy See more Enrique P 17m Be prepared to be offended. I was. I enjoyed it. Definitely catered to viewers that watched the first one (probably millennials). A nice plot twist at the end. See more Roberto 26m Hilarious , rotten tomatoes tripping lol See more JerryD 30m Awesome way to bring back the Scary Movie franchise. It has all the 2000s comedy fans missed and providing it in an updated format that keeps jokes relevant for today. If you enjoyed Scary Movie 1 and 2, you'll love this! See more Alexander m 33m This movie is actually really funny… to think I almost refunded my tickets cuz of reviews smh See more Tyreese Joyner 33m Some of our favorite familiar scary movie celebrities from back in the day came back See more Read all reviews
