Defying the very notion of good taste, Scary Movie out-parodies the pop culture parodies with a no-holds barred assault on the most popular images and talked-about moments from recent films, television and commercials. The film boldly fires barbs at the classic scenes from Scream, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Blair Witch Project, then goes on to mock a whole myriad of teen movie clichés, no matter the genre.

Critics Consensus

Scary Movie overloads on crudity and grossness to get its laughs.

These gags are hardly the height of inspiration, but it could be that people laugh at them because they're not as pathetic as a character having a penis jabbed through his head like an ice pick.

The Wayans brothers just want to make us laugh... And for the first 20 minutes, they do. After that the gag-rate plummets, and it's a long haul to the credits.

The kind of thing that leads to sleepless nights -- from severely bruised rib cages.

While Scary Movie doesn’t work as a film (for me), it does a couple of cool things that make me get why people keep returning to it.

3.5/5

Scary Movie’s jokes can be hit, miss, or downright offensive; but enough of them land to make for an enjoyable watch. The movie shines brightest with the jokes that most resemble the absurdism of spoofs like Airplane and The Naked Gun.

I love the original it’s funny. The OG cast the phone calls had me laughing the one with the tongue out.

This film is a hilarious parody of Scream; its funny jokes nearly made me choke. The funniest film I have ever watched.

Rewatching *Scary Movie* reminded me why this franchise became such a classic. I laughed out loud during almost every scene, which rarely happens for me. The story is completely ridiculous, but that's exactly why it works. Everyone commits so hard to the jokes that even the dumbest moments somehow feel believable. It was something fresh when it came out, and honestly, we don't get enough parody movies anymore. This rewatch only proved that the genre deserves a comeback. Nostalgia probably bumps my rating up half a star, but it's still incredibly funny and entertaining after all these years. ★★★½
