I guess we can throw in movies like The Starving Games and A Haunted House. They're all the same. Actually it was A Haunted House 2 that inspired this thread.
I was watching Big Ass Spider and a commercial for A Haunted House 2 ran and it got me thinking, "who watches these movies?" I know they're successful but I never see anyone say they like them or even watch them.
So, do you like any of these "parody" movies?

Scary Movie is fine. Can't stand anything else related to it though.

Scary Movie was okay. Every other one I've watched has been dreadful though.

The Starving Games? That joke doesn't even make any sense. Even as an anti joke!

To answer the question honestly, yes. I laughed myself silly at Scary Movie 3 and Superhero Movie. But those were the only two.

i liked Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie and...thats it Yeah. Atleast with Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie they anchored the jokes and plot (yes, an actual plot!) in a couple of movies from said genre being parodied. Scary Movie's plot parodies that of Scream (which is redundant since , as has been brought up on this board already, is a parody of the slasher genre) and to a lesser extent I Know What You Did Last Summer. Sure, they drift into making jokes at the expense of other movies horror movies from around this time period. For example Cheri O'Teri's character doing the whole "I'm so scared" scene from Blair Witch (amazing that they had the will power to stick to only one Blair Witch joke when you consider how many parodies that movie spawned). But in the end it all goes back to being a Scream (and to a lesser extent I Know What You Did Last Summer) parody. Not Another Teen Movie is basically She's All That and Varsity Blues with some American Pie and John Hughes references thrown in. You have a lot of references to other movies such as Cruel Intentions and Can't Hardly Wait thrown in for good measure. But in the end it all comes back to being a parody of She's All That and Varsity Blues with some American Pie and John Hughes references thrown in. But now the "____ Movie" franchise being a bunch of references thrown in under the guise of jokes with all the subtlety of Bischoff asking Sid about his scissors twice. And no semblence of plot. Just referencing what's in the theatres now, even if it's not from the genre of film the movie is supposed to be parodying! |

IIRC, I've only watched these once, and most often within a year of them being out on home video. From what I remember:
Scary Movie - Okay
Not Another Teen Movie - Pretty funny
Scary Movie 2 - Possibly the first time I watched a comedy and didn't smile once
Superhero Movie - Pretty funny

Shouldn't Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood be included in the list?

From the ones I have seen Scary Movie and Scary Movie II were pretty good. Everything else sucked.
