[The Wayans] are starting to suffer the malaise of overload that finally junked the films of Mel Brooks and the Zucker/Abrahams lampoons.

"This repulsive, vulgar, disgusting, over-the-top horror spoof is early candidate for my WORST of 2001 list. It's slapdash, not slapstick."

1.5/4The creators of Scary Movie 2 have forgotten one crucial fact about the horror genre--for every Scream 2 there are twenty Blair Witch 2s.
