Throw some big names into a movie and it doesn't matter what happens, right? Far too many producers think like this. And if you haven't judged yet by my phrasing, it is a terrible way to make movies. Especially when many of the "big names" are big for controversial reasons, looking at you Charlie.
Anyway, if you somehow have never heard of "Scary Movie," it is a parody film series, primarily poking fun at, well, scary movies. The story is never great, usually filled with poop jokes, penis jokes, and everything else the teenagers love. So, if you're above the age of 16, you probably don't like the movies.
The first four installments featured Cindy Campbell ,played by Anna Faris, as the main character. Having a lead character kept the series somewhat enjoyable, so now we find problem number 1 of this film: Anna Faris is nowhere to be found. Now we have Jody, played by Ashley Tisdale, as the main character. The first ten minutes of seeing Tisdale on screen I was trying to figure out where I had last seen her. It was the Suite Life of Zach and Cody. A huge difference. But good for her for trying to get new roles! Now her next goal should be to find a good role. Most other characters in the film were rappers, or actors with a past.
Some moments in this film were funny, I'll give it that. But it definitely not worth the price of admission. It's like they didn't even try. Maybe we can put a stop to these terrible parody films, but I doubt that will happen any time soon. With the absence of any past character returning, a complete neglect of plot structure, then not even being funny, I have to say this film isn't worth watching.
Rating: 3/10
