Leave your thoughts about Scary Movie 5.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA pitiful grab bag of awful with a torturous sense of humor, crash landing a formerly inoffensive franchise into hostile Friedberg/Seltzer territory. |
| Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichSomehow, it actually looks cheaper than "Paranormal Activity." It's less funny, too. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinScary Movie 5 aspires to timeliness, but its comic sensibility is so groaningly retro that the film features a series of tributes to The Benny Hill Show and its signature ditty, “Yakety Sax.” |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonThe "Scary Movie" franchise has never been known for its highbrow comedy, but this latest installment feels especially juvenile and pointless. |
| Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonIf you think three months is an impossible amount of time to write and produce a feature film, well, it is. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonThis is the first Scary Movie in seven years, but the formula remains unchanged, with a thin storyline linking spoofs of Hollywood hits. |
| ScreenAnarchyEric D. SniderA boldly uninspired torrent of halfhearted slapstick, interminable poop jokes, and pointless pop-culture references, a veritable tsunami of idiocy. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThis is a big waste of time, drawing one more gasp out of a series that should have given up the ghost long ago. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterMarlon Wayans’s satire “A Haunted House” got to “Paranormal” first, and for a much smaller budget delivered bigger laughs. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Devin FaraciIf AIRPLANE! was Mad Magazine at its absolute best, a real genius work of insanity, SCARY MOVIE V is an issue you don't bother trying to get back after the teacher confiscates it. |
