True, this and the scary movies are dumb and mindless humour, but people always treat them like they're running for an oscar! They exist to make you laugh, not rediscover yourself and your purpose in life, so just take two hours off and enjoy it!
P.S. Can someone tell me what that song is at the end bit of the trailer? Thanks :)
If something is meant to make people laugh, they generally have to be funny..
sharetrue, I guess it's all a matter of opinion. Besides, I'm apparently one of the five people that didn't completely hate Grown Ups 2, so what do I know about funny :)
WHOA... Apparently you know nothing about funny. Grown Ups 1 was garbage, I was blown away by the fact it even had a sequel... and the sequel was even worse.
shareBut again, it's going into a movie with the right attitude. I find it very difficult to hate movies, because I change what I expect from them accordingly. I'm not saying Grown Ups was a fantastic movie, but it was what I thought it was going to be. But if a movie like The Hobbit was the same standard as Grown Ups, I would have gone in there expecting more from it and would subsequently have been incredibly disappointed. When that happens, that is the only time I can truly detest a movie. Does that make sense at all? But yeah, I can never really hate a movie if I do this, plus you get the benefit of being totally amazed or shocked by a movie you didn't think was going to be fantastic, ie. The Heat
shareI expected A Haunted House to be dumb fun. But it was dumb and no fun. Seriously, i really tried to enjoy it but i couldnt.

So sick of people excusing these crappy movies by saying 'oh they're not running for an Oscar'! There's plenty of good, even great, movies that never win any major award. A Haunted House just isn't clever or engaging or fun to sit through. The jokes are low brow, revolving around race, sexuality, sex, farts, poop, people getting beat up, animals getting killed and injured, etc. They don't really spoof the movies they insist they are set out to make fun of, other than in the most shallow way possible (aka having characters being similar to the ones in other movies).
shareso sick of people who can't handle other point of views and have to insult them.
shareHe gave you respect that it depends on one's taste. Then you have to insult him about not knowing what's funny. You sir are an idiot.
Because they suck. The first 2 "Scary Movie"s were funny because the concept was still somewhat original. Even Not Another Teen Movie was decent, but now all these spoof movies are ridiculous.

Yeah I agree with you the first two Scary movies where hilarious piss on ya self funny lol, but after that it's like wtf, but oh well....
"Because they suck. The first 2 "Scary Movie"s were funny because the concept was still somewhat original. Even Not Another Teen Movie was decent, but now all these spoof movies are ridiculous."
^This. Always this.

I actually enjoyed the first one. But then again I love the first 2 scary movies and I am also a fan of the Wayans. LOL
shareI liked the first two Scary Movies, but A Haunted House was a bit stupid and not stupid funny, other than Cedric the Entertainer, he was comedy. But based on the trailer, this sequel actually looks promising.
shareSong is called "Get Back" by Ludacris
shareI have to agree with you. I'm white from northern Ireland and I find this funny. I too change what I expect from different type of films. I enjoyed both grown ups because I guess I'm quite a smilie guy I laugh about everything. I look on the bright side.
I've been a fan of the wayans since I was kid so I say good for them. It has to appealing though as it made a good profit so ppl must like it. I loved the dyslexic ghost.
I'm glad yoy enjoy movies for what they are a lot of the ppl on here love woody Allen and think his humour is the only way you should laugh. Hipsters fanboys and pretentious wannabe critics.
I'm glad to find another fan of movies for what they are. These people on here would compare Wayne's World to the green mile. Half the ppl go see it or watch it already deciding they aren't going to enjoy it and a lot of ppl just say they dont to seem cool and with it.
Anyways stay cool!
Thank you so much, I honestly don't see why more people don't live like this! I mean, if I can't hate the crap out Of everything Shamalan touches like the rest of the population, does that make me a worse person?
shareI just find all of these movies stale and unfunny. Maybe it is me

Scary Movie was good. However, it had several more writers than just the Wayans Brothers. Now this one is only one of them... All the Wayans minus Damon made the first one great, but also with the help of several others. When the 3 Wayon's did White Chicks.. euhh, some parts of it are ok... but now it's just one Wayans for this movie and who the hell knows who else, but not a gold working team.
Unfortunately Sean on his own is not even as good as the 3 brothers who worked on White Chicks. So A Haunted House was pretty much expected to not even be as funny as a skit on In Living Color.
Just judging by the trailer to this sequel, i'm already rolling my eyes, as the Chicken thing has already been done in Scary Movie 2 with a cat. Recipes may work for food constantly being the same, but unfortunately it doesn't work so well with comedy, especially in parody films. You feel like you have already seen it and if that's the best to offer from the movie, then it's most likely going to flop.
Not to forget, since Scary Movie, two of the 100 writers have kept going on to make all these other "(enter title here) Movie" and killed the parody genre. Epic Movie, Date Movie, Not another Teen Movie, Superhero Movie... they just have gone down hill dramatically since they don't have enough writers to make a superb parody movie... you expect it to be as good as Scary Movie 1 or 2, but you are only getting a small part of what made the original special. It's like if the Beatles reformed today... it would just be Paul Macartny and Ringo Starr... as much as it would probably make some money, that's the only thing it would do. It still would not be the real Beatles.
However, I still hold hopes that the best parody film makers of all time will reunite and make something to save the Parody genre from death. The Zucker Brothers and Jim Abraham who made Airplane, Naked Gun films, Kentucky Fried movie etc.. need to come together to make what they once made. As you can see, when it's only one of them in Scary movies 3 to 5, it's just not as strong as it can be.
And now days alot of people just hear the word "(Whatever) movie" or parody, and are turned off because it just seems like a fad to make them without making them funny, instead it just pokes fun at recent films and tries to mash them all together to pass it off as parody. However so many people don't even realize who is behind the wheel anymore... with Sean Wayans it's easy to tell, but quit a lot of people dismiss Scary Movie 3 to 5 because they figure since it's not the Wayans, it must be the same morons making all the other "whatever Movie" films. However, it was not those idiots behind Scary Movie 3 to 5 as I just mentioned... so that's why the Scary Movie franchise is not regarded so bad compared to the other ones... but the overall effect of hearing that these things have been made, and not for an R rated audience, it's a recipe for disaster and dismissed easily by just one friend saying they saw it, and it was crap, giving so many people the impression that it's just another crappy movie Movie.
Blame everything on Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer. 2 of the 100 writers given credit to Scary Movie 1. They paved the way for cheap parody movies and given hollyweed the impression that you don't need a full team of talented writers to make something work right. Another classic example of this is Get Smart (the original series) which had several writers... then if you watch the revived 90's TV series, you can see it just does not work without the full team working on it.
Scary Movie 3 and 4 where decent. 5, not so much. But it could have been great had both zuckers and abraham come on-board to make it. Then it would probably be respected as much as their previous films and not mistaken as a Friedberg and Seltzer abomination. And Haunted House, just one of the Wayan's brothers? Had all 3 or 4 of them been on-board, they probably would have agreed that making A Haunted House was just like remaking Scary Movie 2. And even if they went ahead with it, it would have been a much funnier movie than just one quarter of what made them famous around the world for parody in the first place.
