Top CriticScream 2 is an ingenious, often hilarious, movie that does nothing to diminish the well-deserved cult reputation of its director.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe real fun of Scream 2, like Scream, isn't seeing people slaughtered. It's the smart-mouth dialogue and in-joke ironies.

Top CriticThe movie is enjoyable.
