Reader comments: Scary Movie 2

LEE | Mar. 2, 2002
Unlike the first one Scary Movie 2 is a hit and miss joke movie.As where the first one was a non-stop riot,this one seems to have some of the funniest jokes of 2001 and some of the lamest.For no reason whatsoever thire's a nike commerical spoof that is well bland and totsally unfunny and also a whats lie beneath spoof that is painfully overdone.But the exorcist spoof is one of the funniest things i've seen ina while so it wasn't all that bad.

The movie was hilarious. I laughed from the opening scene until the end. Yes, it is a silly movie, but if you didn't know that before going in that was your fault, all you had to do was see the first one. I heard a commit earlier saying the only reason the black community saw the movie was because it was by a black director, I just want to let that person know they are completly wrong. I am a member of the black community and I went to see it because I enjoyed the first one so much and I was not let down by the second one. If I just went to see movies for black directors I would have went to see Baby Boy, a movie I don't plan on seeing in my lifetime. I just like funny movies and so do a lot of other people whether they are from the black community or not.

I thought scary movie 2 was terrible! I sat there with 2 other guys and watched it. They thought it was great! But honestly I thought the 1st 20 minutes of the movie was great but then the rest went downhill! Way downhill! The movie is stupid shorty gets smoked by a plant and that was way dumb! This movie is trash! Dont see it!

TV ads for the movie make it appear as if the flix is just a comic parody of horror movies; but the truth is that this "movie" is just a totally amoral and stunningly disgustingly pornographic spectacle which, if the filmmaker's aim was all along simply to corrupt public morality (intended to create the premise that there is no sexual depravity/perversity which is not perfectly normal and acceptable) could not be much improved on. I think even "scarier" than the movie was the audience in the theater in which I saw the "film" (it incl. MANY children as young as 8 and 11... no doubt brought there by the misleading TV ads). But be warned that in one scene a teenage girl rejoices that her very violent rape was "the best sex she's had!" And in the Exorcist parody scene, when the possessed young girl screams out, "F-me! F-me!" the "priest" does precisely that. The language is even more pornographically violent still; and unrelentingly so throughout the whole movie. Artistically, there is no humor here at all--only the sort of nauseating and repulsive visuals (a jock with his penis pinched inside his tights asking whether it looks better "in" or "out")... visuals which people who are unexpectedly subjected to them usually try to cope with either by nervous coughing or with a right-down hysterical over-reaction (the adults in the audience "laughed" a lot louder than the "jokes" merited it, while the children sat in absolute stone-cold silence throughout... very probably forming the same sort of state of mind child molesters aim for when they expose them to hard porn in order to corrupt them into the perverted notion that these sickening forms of behavior are perfectly acceptable). The children in that theater knew what the adults apparently didn't want to acknowledge: Namely, that this was NOT a funny film, just a series of sexually deviant and morally bankrupt visual-verbal degradations specifically designed to shock even those persons who once imagined there were few things left that could shock them. It does that; that's all it does.
