Scary Movie 2 Movie Review 2001

You knew they were lying when the tagline of the first film declared "No mercy, no shame, no sequel," especially since the spoof brought in more than $144 mil worldwide. The plot, such as it is, consists of a spooky doctor (Curry) convincing the cast from the original to spend the night in a haunted house to study insomnia. Familiar, no? But it's really just an excuse for the Wayans to parody a whole new batch of movies and do a lot (and we mean A LOT) of bodily fluid and sex jokes. Unfortunately, they don't do it any better than they did the first time, and whatever freshness the original had is long gone.
