Our take on Scary Movie

Keenen Ivory Wayans directs this 2000 spoof that turns teen-slasher conventions into rapid-fire farce. A group of instantly recognizable teenagers finds itself stalked by a masked killer, but every scream is a setup for a gag as the film ransacks horror clichés and pop-culture touchstones for laughs. Broad, raunchy and gleefully juvenile, it trades suspense for parody, piling on sight gags, crude jokes and sendups of the era's hits. It's aimed squarely at viewers with a taste for irreverent, no-limits comedy who know the movies being mocked; anyone seeking genuine scares or subtle humor should look elsewhere entirely for their entertainment.
