Scary Movie 2 directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, is a satire comedy film parodying classic horror films from over the years. Starring Anna Faris as Cindy, our protagonist along with an ensemble of comedic actors.
My main take in this film is to not take it seriously, and when you don't, it can actually be a pretty good ride. The thing about satire comedy is the sky's the limit with the options to make a good joke. Plus this was made at a time where comedy had more free will and was open to explore topics which today wouldn't be accepted or appropriate.
Obviously, this film has numerous flaws. If you take a look at this film objectively, by parameters of good cinema, it lacks a basic structure along with other problems. Plot development has little to no value, yet this film is barely 80 minutes so not really a lot of time to really have a strong story. This would be better off as a series of sketches from a late show.
Nevertheless, for what this film is meant to be, I really enjoyed it. I rewatched it many times over the years and am always left with a good laugh. If you are looking for a comedy that isn't affected by today's standards and just want to have a pleasant evening, I would recommend this.
