All the scary movie characters are back in a laugh packed sequel that scares up even more irreverent fun than the original. Marlon Wayans and Anna Faris lead a stellar cast that takes extreme pleasure in skewering Hollywood's most frightening feature films and spoofing popular culture. Starring Regina Hall, Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Tori Spelling and Tim Curry, Chris Elliott and James Woods, nothing's sacred and anything goes in this outlandish must-see comedy hit.

Critics Consensus

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

A series of gags that indicate the task for the seven writers led by the Wayans Brothers was more enforced labor than creative fun. Go to Full Review Matthew Rozsa matthewrozsa.com 04/26/2021

Lincoln D @Linclovesmovies Aug 17 Scary Movie 2 is a lazy, juvenile sequel that relies far too heavily on unfinny gross-out humor instead of clever parodies. See more Bruce F @MoralMaster Aug 9 Super cheesy a lot of great references to the times great cast it does just what it is trying to and should just stupid enough to be funny See more Art R @Tomatoslove Aug 3 Eu guase desmaiei dr tanto rir o filme e muito bom a única coisa que não me agradou foi ter umas piadas de cadeirante Sei que é errado mais rir muito 9/10 See more Paul L @pauly87 Aug 2 Still funny to this day . See more Kit L @Kitz_Editz123435 Jul 28 I love this movie just as much as the first its very funny and to be honest was a good plot! 5 stars! See more matthias S @Thescreenasvor Jul 26 *Scary Movie 2* wasn't nearly as strong as the first one for me. It still had a few moments that got some genuine chuckles, but a lot of the jokes just didn't land this time. It feels like the sequel tried to go bigger in every way, yet bigger doesn't always mean funnier. The cast is still clearly having a great time, and there's enough silly fun to stay entertained, but it lacks the consistency of the original. Nostalgia definitely gives my score a little boost as well. Still an enjoyable rewatch, just not one that had me laughing nonstop. ★★★☆☆ See more Read all reviews
