Defying the very notion of good taste, "Scary Movie" out-parodies the pop-culture parodies with a no-holds barred assault on the most popular images and talked-about moments from recent. films, television and commercials. The film boldly fires barbs at the classic scenes from "Scream," "The Sixth Sense," "The Matrix," "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and The Blair Witch Project," then goes on, to mock a whole myriad of teen movie cliches, no matter the genre.

The Best Comedy Of The Year
Scary Movie is simply the best comedy of the year. No other comedy could compete with this very raw funny movie from the wayans. This movie has done things that other movies has never done before in the history of film (besides the male frontal nudity). Scary Movie is the highest grossing "R" rated movie in box office movie history. The movie pulled in over 144 million $ at the box office and only took about 12 million $ or less to make it. It is also the largest grossing movie by an african-american director (Keenan Ivory Wayans). I think all the success is well due to the wayans especially after the WB stupidly canceled the Wayans Bros. Show last year. Everything the wayans have done has been good and successful. From I'm Gonna Git You Sucka to In Living Color to Don't Be A Menace and everything else the wayans family has done has been highly successful for years. It should be no surprise that Scary Movie would be a success. The high grossing success of this low budget film generated was total unexpected. movie reviewers however always bash this film because there is no plot with some (male)nudity and basically because its a movie spoof. How can you bash a movie for what it is. Its a spoof, what are they looking for shakespeare or something. They should judge the movie accordingly. Compared with other famous movie spoofs such as Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Police Academy, Hollywood Shuffle, Airplane etc... it was one of the best (if not thee best)movie spoof or movie comedy for that matter that I have ever seen. The buttom line is when I went to see this movie I couldn't stop laughing along with the other people packed in the theater with me watching. I had fun watching the film and I enjoyed every minute of it. That is watch you should feel after watching a movie everytime out. Scary Movie practiculy cleaned house this summer at the box office only coming in second this year behind (the much more expensive) "Mission Impossible II" for the highest grossing movie of the year 2000. From the moment the movie starts the laughs begin until the very end when the credits are rolling. The moment this movie is available on DVD and home video to buy and rent all the video stores and all the blockbusters will be sold out. The demand for this film will be very high and I can't wait to get my copy on DVD. With the sequel coming our way next year, it looks like "Scary Movie" will be a classic spoof remembered by many world wide for years.

I loved the first film
I've seen all the movies, and all of them several times each, on dvd and vhs formats, and on the first three, I've seen all three on both vhs and dvd and own the first two on both formats. I loved the first film, and set out to see the next three. I caught one on TV and rented the others. The series started out with the best of intentions and made what I think is a very funny movie. Some of the characters were annoying, and some scenes aren't as funny now or never were in some cases, but they made a movie where you want to see what happens next and what they throw at you, and let's face it. Some of the movies they lampoon were just ripe for the picking. I loved the I know what you did last summer book (although, I love daughters of eve more) and I was semi-disappointed by the movie which wasn't much like the book. Blair witch might have been a big deal then, but when you look back at it, it's just people wandering around in the woods and fighting over losing the map. Scary movie took this and made it funny. Cindy and her friends (who feature two often annoying, sometimes less than funny African American stereotypes) do something they would rather forget they did, but someone else cannot forget it. Soon, her friends start dying off, and the mystery must be solved: who knows? The characters are mostly idiots, but the funniest one is doofy. The characters are often such terrible people, you're kind of glad they died. This is the best movie in the series and after seeing all 5, I think the series just went down hill slowly after this, trotting out these I can't believe it's him/her cameos (Lindsey lohan, Charlie sheen, tori spelling) and just not being as funny as the original.

the best of the 4 scary movies
This is the best of the 4 scary movies and it is laced throughout with good jokes and wacky characters and clever insights into the genuinely frightening films of recent years.Scary movie 4 has better special effects but this, the original scary movie,shows how much better a film can be with a good script overwhelming the special effects.

Watch One and STOP there!!!!!
By far the best; and I mean including ALL Scary Movies, Epic Movies, Disaster Movies etc (Although I do like Suoerhero Movie). Whatch this. Don't watch any more or at the very least go back and watch Airplane 1 (and 2 [ just for Shatners monitor gag]), Naked Gun Movies and TV Series (lost gems here), Touch of Cloth
