Critics Consensus

Juvenile even by Scary Movie standards, this fifth installment offers stale pop culture gags that generate few laughs.

The latest installment of the slick, highly profitable parody franchise. Go to Full Review

It's supposed to be funny, but you'd have an easier time reading a zombie's pulse than you would finding a single good laugh ... Go to Full Review

For the art-house crowd, who may, I suppose, stumble drunk into the wrong theater after too much Chardonnay, there are nods to Black Swan and 127 Hours. Go to Full Review

This feels akin to being bombarded with an array of skits before the MTV Movie Awards in the early aughts. There is no skill or substance, as it feels like headlines and titles were pulled out of a hat and randomly inserted. Go to Full Review

Aforementioned media-attention malcontents Sheen and Lohan may briefly revel in the cheap frivolity of this vacuous vehicle but for others, Scary Movie 5 is nothing more than an 85-minute smirk that has nowhere to go...groundless, gross guffaws. Go to Full Review

Izzime T @RT50133155 2d This is one of the worse movies I’ve ever seen. Do they have nothing funny other than mocking God and the church. Also I don’t believe that this is a 15 rated movie it should be 18! I also found it embarrassing to watch I was literally sinking in my seat at the cinema because of how explicit the sexual scenes were. I liked the other scary movies. This was awful. See more j K @RT69004785 6d Was really really unfunny in general. I don't even know if the multiple trans gags were supposed to be anti trans or like poking fun at transphobia. I love comedy and horror especially the first movies but a lot of the jokes simply just were so unfunny they did not land. I felt confused for the first 15 mins and then I left the theatre and sat thinking about it more confused for a bit after that. Again I feel like all the jokes based on stereotypes were just very strange and simply just not funny. It is 2026, my dudes. Get a new routine. Not even offensive, just very confusing. Reddit is funnier! See more Isadora F @RT65223255 Jun 14 I honestly enjoyed this movie a lot. It was dumb, ridiculous, and completely over-the-top, but that's exactly what made it so funny. The fight scenes had me laughing every time, and the scenes with the kids were hilarious, especially when they accidentally got hit during all the chaos. Even the scene with Jody and Kendra got a laugh out of me. It's definitely not a masterpiece, but it's a fun movie that never takes itself seriously and gave me plenty of laughs. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jun 14 Scary Movie 5 is easily the worst entry in the entire franchise and a major reason the series lost momentum for years. It feels disjointed, unfunny, and far removed from the sharper parody style that made the earlier films work. Instead of clever satire, it relies heavily on crude sexual humor and random sketches that rarely connect into anything coherent. Ashley Tisdale’s performance is flat and underwhelming, and even the more exaggerated comedic moments fail to land. Scenes often feel like they are trying too hard to shock rather than entertain, leading to a film that quickly becomes exhausting to sit through. There is little narrative structure or comedic payoff, and most of the jokes feel forced or repetitive. The movie drags from one moment to the next without building momentum or delivering consistent laughs. Overall, Scary Movie 5 is a chaotic misfire that misunderstands the franchise and feels forgettable and frustrating. See more Max C. @Maxtherealmovierater1 Jun 12 Yeah the reviews speak for itself this was one of the worst scary movies ever made the only ever good ones were 1 and 2 that’s it the rest were terrible See more Kid R. @Philadelphiagoosebumpsfan Jun 10 I wish I could give it 0 stars the worst movie I have ever seen See more Read all reviews
