Seriously, THIS is worse than '2'???


OK, the movie is far from the fun of 1, 3 and 4, but it is still watchable and with some good jokes. It's pretty obvious experts Proft and Zucker are at the writing credits, and the film itself is better directed than either of the two first entries of the series.

A 3.5 average would suggest this is kind of "Epic Movie" kind of disaster, but some of the jokes are pretty smart and well constructed (the mix of films doesn't come as half as forced as in 2, for example, which did waste two comic geniouses as Tim Curry and Chris Elliott).

In no way I am defending this is a GOOD film, but I see it as a beyond average spoof, even thought I still miss the top form of the ZAZ team in the 80's.

2 is the best one in the series.

5 was just awful.

I have seen only the first 3, but the 2nd is the worst by miles.

SCARY MOVIE 2 is bad but nowhere near as terrible as SCARY MOVIE 5. The main story is a mockery of MAMA, a movie that came out 3 months before its own release and wasn't a huge enough hit to warrant special treatment. Since Anna Faris and Regina Hall left for greener pastures, David Zucker just replaced the names and casted unfortunate souls like Ashley Tisdale and Erica Ash. Practically the entire movie was ADRed and they never cared about the synching, so it looks like a stereotypical Godzilla dub. And finally, they wanted to maintain a PG-13 rating so bad that they literally censored out a sexual line, even though it was the setup for a massive spit take.
