Scary Movie (2000)

This is the movie that certainly didn't invent parody movies, but brought with it a overabundance of crap parody movies. This past decade was the decade of remakes and bad parodies. This was an impressive one though and the Wayans brothers struck gold with this one. The movie parodies Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Sixth Sense to name a few and they did it with ease. The movie starts off with Carmen Electra (I'm calling her the queen of Parodies) spoofs Drew Barrymore in the beginning. After her obvious death, the movie turns to three couples who are also friends, Cindi Campbell (Anna Faris), Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams), Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), Shawn Wayans (Little Man) who plays Ray Wilkins, a gay guy in denial that's dating Brenda, Lochlyn Munro (Little Man) as Greg Phillippe, and Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie) as Buffy. Like Scream, they trying to figure out who is killing the teens and is it Cindi's boyfriend? The movie also stars Cheri Oteri (Shrek The Third) as Gail Hailstorm, Rick Ducommun (The Burbs) as Cindi's Dad, Squiggy himself David L. Lander (Laverne & Shirley) as Principal Squiggy, Marlon Wayans (Little Man) as the useless pothead Shorty, Dave Sheridan (Sex Drive) as Doofus, Kurt Fuller (The Pursuit Of Happiness) as the sheriff and the movie even features cameos by Keenan Ivory Wayans and James Van Der Beek. Like I said before, this movie was well written and thought out, that's more than I can say for Date Movie, Superhero Movie, and Epic Movie. Four Stars Out Of Five
