Critic Reviews

Film.com Ernest Hardy

It's very funny and - at times - even witty in a crude, drunken frat-boy-with-an-epiphany kind of way. Read full review

Jami Bernard

The jokes are wild, raunchy, surreal and dead-on. Read full review

Lisa Alspector

Political incorrectness, gross-out humor, references for their own sake, and some real wit are distributed over the 85 minutes with an unusually consistent sense of timing and proportion, and the tone is just right. Read full review

Dana Stevens

If you're amused by jokes involving male genitals, female pubic hair, flatulence and dismemberment, it should be a big hit. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Stephen Miller

Surprisingly cohesive. Read full review

Marc Caro

Usually what you're laughing at is ugliness, and that leaves a foul taste long before the 85 minutes have expired. Read full review

Marc Savlov

I'd rather have a testicular nail-gun mishap than sit through this migraine-inducing train wreck of a film one more time. Read full review

Just funny. Well not as much jokes as the original and some of the jokes take of while to laugh but I still love this movie and it aged well but some little flaws.

One of my personal favorite movies, I love how immature and in your face this movie is. It really pisses people off in the best way possible.

In terms of parodies, it doesn't get any better than Scary Movie. Even now, the comedy and jokes are extremely funny.

Scary Movie. What is your favorite parody movie? The Wayans brothers have made a truly iconic piece. They collected all the best that was in the movie Scream and added to it a tone of humor and jokes for the toilet. After this movie (Scary Movie) it will be very difficult to take GhostfaceScary Movie. What is your favorite parody movie? The Wayans brothers have made a truly iconic piece. They collected all the best that was in the movie Scream and added to it a tone of humor and jokes for the toilet. After this movie (Scary Movie) it will be very difficult to take Ghostface seriously after hanging out with Shorty Meeks. And the most and most important thing is not to repeat my mistake. Watch Scary Movie first, and then watch Scream even after many years. Because there will be a small spoiler, everything that happens in the "Scary Movie" almost one to one copies his terrible brother Scream.… Expand

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. While the critics don't take the tamest of the series's pleasure, Scary Movie is a average blockbuster.

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

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.

What so nice about this show? This movie probably is worse, stupid and boring. Its not talking about scary things. Its talking about sexual harrassment movie. It was gross and totally brain dead. If u havent watch this, dont.
