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

Audience Reviews for Scary Movie 2

Apr 06, 2015

Really quite stupid. The film borders on so-bad-its-good territory in the same vein as Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin, the film is enjoyable because of the performances and references to the horror genre. Nevertheless, it's not that good...

Harry W Super Reviewer
Dec 07, 2014

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.

Carlos M Super Reviewer
Aug 24, 2013

And not a single giggle was given...

Francisco G Super Reviewer
Dec 14, 2012

Pretty good but predictable gags make it boring, The first hour was funny but the last half hour was too silly and it ruined it but worth watching, The Wayans are the funniest people in this film.
