    It's only slightly better than the first but still truly terrible.

    Directed by: Keenen Ivory Wayans.
    Starring: Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hill, Chris Elliott, Tim Curry, Kathleen Robertson.

    << "How is she?"..."It's gotten worse Father. She won't eat, she won't talk, the child won't let me touc...( read more)h her"..."Yes, sometimes you have to give them candy." >>

    The story follows a very familiar group of teens (with a few add ons) who are all survivors of the massacre of the first film and are now in college. When a teacher hears word of there near death experiences, he feels they are the best people to be used to bring out a poltergeist in Hell House, a house believed to possessed. So he tricks them all into thinking it is a school project to get them to enter the house.

    Clearly Scary Movie 2 is a rushed job. Its common when a film comes out that does so well and is easily a set up for a franchise...but not even a year after the first film was released, this was financed and in production, which isn't great for a big studio film. As much as I love to always blame the Hollywood system, I can't entirely in this case, as it isn't all there fault...because what the Wayans have produced here, even if it is rushed, is really badly done...a majority of the time.

    This time around, they do pick a better range of classic horror flicks but not necessarily ones that always work or needed to be spoofed. What made the first very strong was its sharp, witty and vulgar humor, and a lot of thought and brilliant comedic timing for the gags...this film not only lacks that wit and sharp writing for the most part, but it ups the vulgarity and just ends up being more gross then funny and very convoluted and dragged out...a lot of it falls flat and is badly edited and has some of the worst continuity I've seen in a film (just had to throw that in there). There is really only one core joke (and character) that works quite well for the first half of the film and it still has me chuckling every time I see him...the caretaker.

    Not much to say about the performances. What charm and essence Anna Faris had in the first film is lost here and she simply comes across as a light headed bimbo who falls flat on everything she is given. Chris Elliott is good for laughs thanks to his character and that is really about it...and the fact that Tori Spelling is even in another film makes me cringe.

    Horribly rushed by the studios, the Wayans brothers lose it this time around with the help of the rush, but they don't help themselves either. Aside from some scattered laughs that hit and a better use of horror films the Wayans don't tackle it from the right angle and takes the vulgar humor many steps to far and the overall effort is neither coherent or consistent, nor much of a spoof. A letdown sequel that shows just what Hollywood can do when they fast-track a sequel for more money.

    Funny and a good joke after the GREAT joke that the first part meant but it's stupid to keep watching after a while. Thank God I didn't pay to see this one. At home with friends is a good option to laugh a little... but just a little...

    A downfall from the previous two. If Shrek 1 and 2 had not been made, this wouldn't have been a half-bad movie.
