Scary Movie (2000)
7/10
The OG for parody films. And perhaps the only truly good one
6 June 2022
I was amazed that I remembered virtually every scene watching this maybe 20 years later. I must have watched it loads as a kid which means I am sure many others did too. It really was a classic at the time and remains so now. It doesn't have as many laugh out loud moments for me as another Wayans classic, White Chicks. But it is such a great parody of Scream and IKWYDLS. The on running gag about Ray being in the closet is absolutely hilarious, the type of joke that would perhaps not go down well today, which is a shame, because it is not offending anybody, it is simple funny comedy.
