The movie Scary Movie opened last year and became a blockbuster. Why? I have no clue. Apparently, giant sperm fountains, penises, boobs, farts, and especially smoking pot, are funny. I can't believe this movie comes from the creators of The Wayan Brothers. The Wayan Brothers was a television show with the two brothers Sean and Marlon. They were f-u-n-n-y. Now, the brothers are back, but this time the director is the older brother Keenon Ivory. The humor looks a lot like There's Something About Mary, but there's one slight difference. TSAM wasn't completely sick and it was hilarious! Scary Movie is the kind of movie that should get NC-17, but doesn't. That means anyone can go in. A boy I know, he's 7 years old, and he was aloud going to Scary Movie with his cousin, who is 11. Is that justice? You haven't heard nothing yet.
The plot is similar to Scream. In fact, it's the exact same as Scream, except the characters are a bunch of dumba**es. The plot goes a little in IKWYDLS, but still maintains Scream. This is mixed with penises, boobs, farts, giant sperm fountains, and the killer who smokes pot. News Flash! The killer is smoking pot, saying he is F'ing stoned, and absolutely no one in the audience is laughing. Is that justice? I'm not done yet.
The Wayan brothers are not even funny. Apparently, smoking pot is "cool" and "funny", but actually marijuana should not be treated like this. Saving Grace treated marijuana with elegance, on the other hand. To have a good comedy (and I mean at LEAST good), the jokes have to be given at the right moment and at the right time. They have to also be delivered with elegance. Scary Movie did not. Scary Movie did not contain pazzazz at all, unless you count the sort of humor portrayed here "pazzazz". TSAM, on the other hand, contained enough gags and pazzazz to make absolutely everyone laugh. Why? Because the Farrelly Brothers directed it. Not a complete amateur like Keenon Ivory Wayans.
Keenon Ivory Wayans has starred in a lot of parodies, like I'm Gonna Get You Sucka. Scary Movie is a disgrace. It shouldn't even called a "parody". It should be called a "sick blockbuster with absolutely no pazzazz". Hello MPAA! Rate this movie right. It should be NC-17 for: non-stop sick and disgusting humor. The movie Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, very similar to Scary Movie, was funnier. SIYKWIDLFTT was actually more hilarious than Scary Movie. It was funnier because it contained original gags. Scary Movie had enough clichés. SO MANY clichés, that it got REALLY TIRING. NO ONE laughed, NO ONE cared, and what's up with the ending? It sucks! SIYKWIDLFTT was produced before Scary Movie, and it looks like Scary Movie should've copied that instead of adding a bunch of sick and twisted humor and a WHOLE LOT of clichés to the plot of Scream.
At some point in the movie, after saying "Sick", "Gross" or "Ewww" about a 100 times, I wanted to go to Blockbuster and rent a Monty Python. Any Monty Python. Hello people! The Monty Pythons are sitting on the shelf in the comedy section, waiting for someone to enjoy them and find out what a REAL parody looks like. The Monty Pythons are original, contain pazzazz, and no SICK HUMOR! My only recommendations would be NOT to rent Scary Movie, but rent a Monty Python. I suggest "The Holy Grail" or "Life of Brian".
Anna Farris, playing the main character "Cindy" was the only funny actress. The brand new actress is very funny, and should not have starred in such a bad movie. Even though she is the only redeeming quality, the movie should not even be given 1 star. The horrible Dude, Where's My Car contained much more redeeming qualities than Scary Movie, and that is NOT a good thing. The people who actually "like" Scary Movie are those who say it's "cool", and those people are either mentally challenged or are 7 years old and don't know what "sperm" actually is yet.
Parodies like ANY Monty Python or Scream If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, are the only "parodies" I can recommend. In fact, Scary Movie should not even be called a "parody" or even a "comedy", but just a should-have-been-NC-17-piece-of-sick-and-twisted-crap movie. Then again, it shouldn't even be called a "movie". Ok, I'm getting annoying. You have been warned. I can't belive there is a sequel.
