    Utter crap. I hate 'Gross out'/poor spoof movies and this is where it all started. As much as I love Airplane, its got a lot to answer for!

    Funny spoof movie about scary movies including Scream.

    "The first amendment gives us the right to say what we want.
    - Oh, shut the fuck up."

    I hate spoof movies. They're a genre I dislike more than anything in the history of entertainment. They only prove that the filmmakers lack imagination.

    But if I have to choose my 'favourite' ...( read more)from all of the spoof films, I'd have to choose "Scary Movie". This film was probably the first spoof I saw and I probably laughed at some point but mostly because of the shock of how bad films can be.

    There's no point in even trying to explain the story. It's got a bit of "Scream", "I know what you did last summer" plus many other bits of other films but you know... in a funny way. Not.

    Not the funniest movie I've ever seen (far from it).

    It gets tiresome after a while. Plus, some of the jokes are really lame. Horrors deserve to get the piss taken out of them, but sometimes, this just goes too far.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

There's energy and glee in the movie, as if the Wayans brothers were still little boys, desperately working to out-gross each other. Naughty little boys and girls everywhere, even those who have offic... full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Would it be asking too much if the hit-and-miss jokes could maybe nudge an inch beyond the obvious? full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Like most gag-driven farces, it's a hit or miss affair. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

To get your money's worth, you need to be familiar with the various teenage horror franchises, and if you are, Scary Movie delivers the goods. full review

    This is the best from the 4.
    But they, all of the 4 movies, just SUCK. =_=
    Heard they are making a 5th?... damn, what lack of taste. This is junk, garbage, and they should have stop after the 1st one.
