    At least the 20 people who saw it with me -- found it hysterically funny. On the other hand, they all seemed pretty stoned.

    Just fast, frenetic and funny enough to amuse both new fans and longtime devotees of the characters who have inspired more than 30 years worth of animated TV episodes and made-for-video features.

    It's unclear why the writers bothered to update the cartoon, unless it was to expand the possibilities for quips and jokey ideas. If so, they failed in their mission, as the movie elicits few laughs.

    The best thing you can say about Scooby-Doo is that Matthew Lillard makes a really, really good Shaggy.

  2. Ignore the critics. I had a great time watching this hilarious adaptation of the animated TV series from the late 60s.
  3. This is probably the best you're going to get attempting a live-action Scooby Doo. It's just not meant to be.
  4. Yup. The crude poster says it all....
