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

An act of nose-thumbing that never quite figures out how, or even where, to position its thumb. Jul 16, 2001 | Rating: C | Full Review…

If you took out all the jokes about bodily fluids, the movie could run five minutes instead of 83, and we could all go home. Jul 6, 2001 | Full Review…

Basically just a bunch of silly spoof scenes cobbled together around a thin premise, it allows the Wayans brothers to have fun in the way a group of kids might have fun with a video camcorder, except with a multi-million-dollar budget. Feb 8, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The weaker of the first 4 films. Mainly spoofing Hollow man, Matrix, House on haunted Hill.

What is most awful about this crass, disgusting and vulgar atrocity of a sequel - written by a thousand incompetent writers - is not that it thinks that a bad horror movie like The Haunting should be spoofed, but that it doesn't manage the most important: to be funny.
Absolutely terrible. A complete remake rather than a sequel with the same jokes and situations around a different not very well thought out story. It's dumb that they kept the same characters who died in the last movie and simply not something I'd watch again.
I remember thinking Scary Movie 2 was absolutely hilarious when I was fifteen. And I still find it funny enough to watch without getting bored, even though the biggest gags don't seem quite as amusing anymore and the jokes that miss are absolutely horrible. The humor is incredibly broad, crude, and childish, as everything is lampooned and referenced from Charlie's Angels to The Matrix to The Exorcist to Nike commercials. I think this is still the best entry in the spoof movie "renaissance" that the original Scary Movie spawned....for whatever that's worth.
