All the scary movie characters are back in a laugh packed sequel that scares up even more irreverent fun than the original. Marlon Wayans and Anna Faris lead a stellar cast that takes extreme pleasure in skewering Hollywood's most frightening feature films and spoofing popular culture. Starring Regina Hall, Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Tori Spelling and Tim Curry, Chris Elliott and James Woods, nothing's sacred and anything goes in this outlandish must-see comedy hit.

Critics Consensus

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

Dumb humor, insults and gallons of bodily fluids.

Scarily awful -- this spoof horror franchise needs a stake driven through its heart, and quick...

It shows no understanding of or insight into the genre it's attempting to parody, nor indeed of cinema in general.

C

A series of gags that indicate the task for the seven writers led by the Wayans Brothers was more enforced labor than creative fun.

Scary Movie 2 is indefensible on every artistic and comedic level... yet I will still stand up for its fans.

Nostalgia can only do so much. Scary Movie 2 is merely a handful of sketches threaded together without any semblance of a plot.

Overall, Scary Movie 2 is considered to be a less impressive follow-up to the original, featuring humor that is often repetitive and unrefined.

High energy and high cringe. 🌭 It gets a little too 'gross-out' with the fluids at times, but the fun factor is high enough to make it worth the watch. Still had fun

Honestly, I think Scary Movie 2 might just be better than the original. From start to finish, it's a wild, ridiculous ride that doesn't take itself seriously-and that's exactly the point. The movie has some genuinely hilarious moments that had me laughing out loud, like when one of the main characters awkwardly brings up shaving their pubic hairs-it's gross, absurd, and perfect in that over-the-top way this series thrives on. The cast is a delight. I got way too excited seeing David Cross as "Uncle Ian" (yep, the same guy from Alvin and the Chipmunks), and Tim Curry, the Home Alone 2 hotel manager, absolutely steals every scene he's in with his perfect mix of creepy and funny. The spoofing of classic horror and pop culture references lands well, and the timing of the jokes kept me hooked throughout. It's ridiculous, messy, and gloriously silly-but in the best way. If you're in the mood for unapologetic absurdity and lots of laugh-out-loud moments, Scary Movie 2 definitely delivers.
