Let me give you my quick opinions of the first four Scary Movies. Scary Movie Was a smart and original concept that was extremly funny. It was a huge hit with audiences and criics so a sequel was made. Scary Movie 2 was a movie that was not as good as the first but still had a lot of fesh ideas. Scary Movie 3 is my personal favorite with Scary Movie 4 trailing on it's heels. So with talks of a Scary Movie 5 has ben in the talks for a few years, and now that we have it, was it worth the wait? Well.. Yes and No. Yes meaning that it is nice to see a new installment in the fanchise and No meaning that it doesn't feel like the first 4 due to the absence of The oiginal cast members. That being said, this film isn't terrible, just not as good as the others.

The film starts wih Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan in bed together when they are suddenly interrupted by spiritual/ Paranormal activity going on in the house. Charlie and Lindsay ar eventuall killed. The story then movs to Jodi(Ashley Tisdale) replacing Cindy, who goes looking for Charlie's three missing childen. Her and her husband(Simon Rex) Take in the children who claim that they can make contact with the spirit of their dead mother. In order to vanquish the spirit they need to aquire The Book Of The Dead o reverse the curse that brought their mother up from the dead.


Scary Movie 5 Has gags that work(Hence, the thumbs up rating) but some gags that fall flat on their face. When a gag doesn't work in this type of movie, it really doesn't work. This movie isn't going to be the next Ben-Hur, It is strictly meant to entertain. Yes it does have childish gags but once you get past that, It's stupid humor that's their to entertain. The only reason why you wouldn't want to see this is because you didn't like the first 4. That said I would Recommend this as a rental but nothing higher.
