Reviews
Joe Leydon, Variety:
The outer limits of R-rated respectability are stretched, if not shredded, by Keenen Ivory Wayans' gleefully gross and exuberantly smutty Scary Movie, a zany scattershot spoof of teen horror pics, high-school sex comedies and assorted pop-culture phenomena.
Lisa Schwartzbaum, Entertainment Weekly (2000):
Mostly, though, Wayans deconstructs the Scream paradigm: Someone, wearing a familiar Edvard Munch-inspired mask and wielding a Last Summer grappling hook, is killing a lot of idiotic high schoolers.
[…]
The whole thing wobbles, like the garish, trashy, sexy shoes the young folks are wearing this summer on their way (in droves) to movie theaters, intent on abandoning themselves to pleasurable mindlessness.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times:
I fight the impulse to tell you that when a character is asked for the name of a favorite scary movie, the answer is "Kazaam." That some of the scenes take place at B. A. Corpse High School. That the teenagers in the movie are played mostly by actors in their late 20s and 30s--and that the movie comments on this.
