The scary part is that a sequel was made.

Consensus: Instead of being funny, this gross-out sequel plays like a sloppy, rushed-out product.

Reviews for Scary Movie 2
A truly awful movie -- at least twice as bad as the original.
07/09/01
The movie plays just like the rush job it is.
07/08/01
Most of the gags have to do with sex, none of it makes any sense and no one cares. And if it's not so surprising or clever as the first film, well, that’s just predictable isn't it?
07/08/01
Nothing about this film is likeable or entertaining.
07/06/01
It's a lot more tightly focused than the first outing.
07/06/01
If you took out all the jokes about bodily fluids, the movie could run five minutes instead of 83, and we could all go home.
07/06/01
The film never really regains the opening scene's momentum.
07/06/01
The inevitable sequel delivers the same schtick, but it's only fresh by half.
07/06/01
The Wayans family certainly has comic smarts, but they're just slumming it here.
07/06/01
You're better off renting the original and getting yourself a pizza....
07/06/01
Well-made and directed with finesse by old pro Keenen Ivory Wayans.

Top CriticThis isn't a movie -- it's a vaudeville sketch aimed at the lowest common denominator.
07/05/01
Top CriticAnother crude, barely-written hack job of a movie, even worse than its predecessor.
07/05/01
Yes, it's pretty funny. No, it's not as funny as the first one.
07/05/01
I laughed enough to qualify the film as a solid bargain matinee.
07/05/01
This film doesn't have the overall hilarity of the first.
07/05/01
Has a bigger budget and bigger stars, but it's not nearly as funny.
07/05/01
[The Wayans] are starting to suffer the malaise of overload that finally junked the films of Mel Brooks and the Zucker/Abrahams lampoons.
