I don't know why I continue to go to movie I know are going to be terrible - but I'm unemployed and a movie freak, so what bette to do? Don't get me wrong - I thought the original SCARY MOVIE was the funniest movie I have seen in years - I have never heard a theater roaring with laughter like I did that flick - it was just a comedy that was so ridiculously outrageous and so didn't care about any social norms - it just hit you in the face over and over and ocer again - hell it even beat my movie to the punch on a joke that made my jaw drop when I saw it.
You knew from the first preview of that movie that was going to be ridiculous and the response to it certainly was a sign of how it impacted audiences who went to see it over and over again. Then came Scary Moive 2 - only one year removed from the orignal and you could tell it was just thrown together ina rush to capitalize on the first's success - and it was horrible - a mis-mash of a movie with a few (and I stress FEW) funny parts, but mostly trash.
Then they took the Wayans brothers away and gave us a Zucker brother and Pat Proft who lost his touch years ago. It makes me sad now seeing the ZAZ (Zucker-Abrams-Zucker) team just completely lose their ability to make funny movies anymore (although Rat Race is a guilty pleasure of mine). I mean did these guys just all of a sudden stop being funny and inventive and weird which made movies like Airplane/Kentucky Fried Movie/Top Secret/Naked Gun absolute hands down coemdy classics?
I must have looked at my watch ten times during the movie and there were a couple funny gags and one nice nod to Airplane at the end with Leslie Neilsen that actually brought a smile to my face - but on the whole this movie was just flat out awful. It's sad to watch once great comedic writers and directors produce this kind of crap.
