Scary Movie 2 (DVD)

Scary Movie 2 is the sequel to the original Scary Movie that I found to be more entertaining. This film is a comedy just like the original an I found it to be really entertaining. There some great comic moments in this film that really did make me laugh. The DVD was originally released in 2002 and I felt it was better than before in general. It features Anna Faris and Marlon Wayans who I felt delivered a good performance in the film and I felt they played their role's well. I also really liked the soundtrack and thought that the film provided some excellent home entertainment. I would really recommend this film if you are like me in that you enjoy teen comedy films ...  Read the complete review

Scary Movie was a pretty strange concept in the first place. It spoofed the slasher genre, picking particularly on the Scream series of movies for its inspiration and main target...interesting seeing as Scream was a spoof in the first place.

Maybe this movie should be called ‘Film of the Living Dead’ because the makers seem to have looked over the finer points of their last film, that being who should be alive and who should really be 6ft under. Yes Scary Movie is back, with less mercy, less shame and less clothes, and its only been a year since its last outing making this one of the fastest sequels ever apart from the Pokemon and Friday the 13th series of films. So have the Wayan’s brothers learnt anything from their last experience not so long ago or is Scary Movie 2 one scream too far? Well you know the answer anyway but nevermind. It’s nice to go into a film and have ...  Read the complete review

The first ‘Scary Movie’ did something reasonably comprehensible by taking the mickey out of the unbearably smug ‘Scream’ series along with a few other horror movies that emerged in it’s target’s wake. It took various broad comedic potshots, missing wildly on most occasions but landed several blows on the rebound, enough for an appreciating cinema audience to like it (I didn’t but that’s by-the-by....). Barely a year after it appeared, along comes it’s much hurried sequel. But does it show? Quality invariably, cannot be rushed. A problem is that there’s only one idea ~ that of setting it in ...  Read the complete review
