Critics' reviews

"To get your money's worth, you need to be familiar with the various teenage horror franchises, and if you are, 'Scary Movie' delivers the goods.(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"[It] proves to be the kind of film that will shock the faint-of-heart and leave just about everyone else laughing until tears run down their cheeks (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"While undeniably silly and violent in a cartoon-like manner, is by and large a hilarious skewering of the clichés of teen pix"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"These gags are hardly the height of inspiration, but it could be that people laugh at them because they're not as pathetic as a character having a penis jabbed through his head (...) You also get to see that, in case you were wondering."

Paul Tatara: CNN
"The first 10 minutes are its funniest, most inventive and best crafted. The Wayanses seemed to have stopped worrying about the quality of their work from that point on."

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
"Like most gag-driven farces, it's a hit or miss affair. If you're amused by jokes involving male genitals, female pubic hair, flatulence and dismemberment, it should be a big hit"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"It's scary that it took six people to write a movie this bad."

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
