Good is a stretch. "Scary Movie" is as lazy, dumb and offensive as the others. But Hall and Faris as the dotty mothers of the next generation of victims are hilarious, romping about like their Brenda and Cindy have been knocked on the head too often Go to Full Review

Even at a tiny fraction of their laugh power, it’s good to have the Wayans bros back spoofing horror movies, but would it be asking too much if the hit-and-mostly-miss jokes could maybe nudge an inch beyond the obvious? Go to Full Review

Wasting moviegoers’ time with a heap of pandering callbacks wouldn’t be so bad if most of the movie’s jokes were more polished. Go to Full Review

Scary Movie made me laugh about 40% of the time. The other 60% either fell flat or was simply shooting fish in a barrel. Go to Full Review
