Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

It is almost impossible to review a movie like 'Scary Movie'. You can like the jokes or you hate them. I thought most of the jokes were pretty stupid, but I laughed anyway. I can understand when you think constant jokes about sex are not funny, but I have to admit that most of them are, especially the ones involving Ray (Shawn Wayans) who might be gay.

The story, which follows the main plots of 'Scream' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', is not important in a movie like this, so I will not get into it. Funny single scenes, that is important. If you have seen movies like 'Scream', 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', 'The Sixth Sense' and 'The Matrix' you can laugh at most of the jokes. Or not; this is really a movie you have to see for yourself.
