There's a fine line between funny and just plain sick; this movie goes way beyond that line.

Consensus: Instead of being funny, this gross-out sequel plays like a sloppy, rushed-out product.

Reviews for Scary Movie 2
just goes through the motions of parodying one movie after another without any apparent stab at wit or humor
07/04/01
Some will find this funny. Some people laugh themselves silly flushing the toilet over and over.
07/04/01
Is pretty thin and uninspired outside of one or two modestly clever gags.
07/04/01
Watching Scary Movie 2 is like Chinese water torture -- you start dreading the next drip long before it drops.
07/04/01
Top CriticTo get any enjoyment out of the original, you had to leave your brains at home. With the sequel, remember to leave your stomachs, too.
07/04/01
Since the first film, which came out only last year, exhausted the supply of Scream-I Know What You Did Last Summer-Halloween and Friday the 13th gags, Scary 2 is just leftovers.
07/04/01
Gone is the surprise, the laughter of disbelief that made Scary Movie such a vacation from civility.
07/04/01
Top CriticPerhaps, in a rare instance of subtle social satire, this film is being released on July 4 to remind America of the high cost of freedom of speech.
07/04/01
Top CriticSo desperately unfunny that you wish someone would sue for false advertising.
07/04/01
Top CriticBecause there is little scene-by-scene coherence, the story becomes little more than the sum of its 'quotes.'
07/04/01
Top CriticDull, obvious and unremittingly vulgar.
07/03/01
Even the funniest 40 percent of Scary has that not-so-fresh feeling.
07/03/01
Boring, and decidedly misogynistic.
07/03/01
Without the relatively tight focus of Scream movies to draw upon, Scary Movie 2 is scattered and more than a little starved for inspiration.
07/03/01
The gags are fresh (so to speak), but the tone and execution are oh-so-exactly the same -- as McSequels go, this one's a pièce de résistance of satisfied expectations.
07/03/01
Top CriticThe problem is that Wayans and his raft of writers, including his brothers Marlon and Shawn, who are also among the film's stars, begin on such an extreme, in-your-face note that they have no place to go.
07/03/01
Top CriticAside from a few genuinely funny gags, this motion picture represents an 80-minute exercise into tedium that does little more than re-hash the first outing.
07/03/01
Top CriticYou'd have to see as many movies as Roger Ebert, bone up on current events and pay attention to TV commercials to just pick up on the would-be jokes.
07/03/01
Wanders from joke to joke with not enough narrative -- or blood -- to make it all stick together.
