"Scary Movie 5" has two good things going for it. First...it's 85 minutes long. Any bit longer and you may find yourself looking for anything sharp to carve out your eyes with. And second, the film "Jeepers Creepers" exists so it will just barely avoid the title of worst movie ever made...at least in this reviewer's humble opinion. The earlier films in this series, while not award winning, could at least generate a few good laughs...but my lord, this is just an awful film no matter how you cut the mustard. Dragged out potty humor jokes that rely on something a first grader MIGHT slightly chuckle at, a parade of has- been B-listers who try to make fun of themselves but clearly appear to the viewer that they are in the movie only to pay off their taxes and lawyer fees, and sight-gags that quite frankly....just fail. A keg party of robot pool cleaners??? A very large woman in a thong bikini??? Food made of human waste?? An ape on the toilet??? These are the "high point" funny moments. If this kind of stuff is what you enjoy, fear not, I'm sure you'll find this one in the $5.00 bin at Wal*Mart in the very near future. But until then, dust off some of the earlier movies from this series, as well as "Airplane", "Naked Gun", "Hot Shots", or others from that earlier genre, and save your admission money for something a little less.......stupid?
