Scary Movie 2
A Movie Review |
|
 |
Most of the critics seemed to have hated this movie.
Most of the critics probably hated the original, too. But again,
maybe, I’m too easily amused, or maybe it’s just that I’m
expecting to get what I’m paying for, and for that I can usually
seem to enjoy a movie more than the average critic. Sure, sometimes
I get surprised, sometimes the end movie doesn’t live up to even
half the hype the film had gotten, and sometimes the movie just ends
up totally sucking, but I can find humor in most things and for
"Scary Movie 2", well, I found humor in most things, all
except the basketball sequence. I got exactly what I expected and
that left me with a great movie-going experience.
"Scary Movie 2" opens with us getting to see Hell
House. In Hell House we’ve got a girl possessed, much like
"The Exorcist," and we are quickly reminded that Scary
Movie is about poking fun at other movies. The opening scene gives
us a spinning head, a girl peeing enough to refill the oceans, and a
great vomit scene. And the movie takes on a funny journey from
there.
The underlying story for "Scary Movie 2" is that the
college professor tricks six students to spend the weekend in a
haunted house. The professor and his assistant want the kids to
bring out the ghosts so that they can document life after death. You
can figure that for the good professor, well, things don’t go that
well, and what we get is sight gag after sound gag after drug gag
after boob gag – just what you want and expect.
Multiple movies get poked at, included "Mission: Impossible
2," complete with doves, "Charlie’s Angels,"
complete with slow, flying through the air scenes, and tattoos on
friend’s backs ala "Dude, Where’s My Car?" You also
get poking fun at Monica’s blue dress, The Weakest Link, and a
foul-mouthed parrot. Who doesn’t like a foul-mouthed parrot?
Going into the movie any more deeply is like trying to analyze,
well, the original "Scary Movie." It is just something
that doesn’t need to be done. All you really need to know is that
in paying your money for "Scary Movie 2" you will get
exactly what you expect. If you hated the first one and haven’t
had a brain transplant since, stay away, but if you were one of the
millions of folks who laughed your ass off, well, "Scary Movie
2" just continues the laughs where they left off. Don’t try
to analyze it, just enjoy the humor for what it is and move on. It’s
4 stars out of 5 for "Scary Movie 2."
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
