I just watched Scary Movie 5. While it's not the
worst in the series (that award goes to Scary Movie 4), it was still
really bad. Same old, unfunny shit. I chuckled at a few scenes, but that's about it. The movie is once again centered around the 'bad parents' joke. It's not any funnier than it was in the last two movies. You already know it's gonna suck when Charlie Sheen (who doesn't play Sheen's character from SM3 and 4) and Lindsay Lohan start doing flips and shit to the not Benny Hill theme before having sex. The humor is unacceptable. When you actually have fart jokes in your movie, it's gonna suck (prove me wrong). The plot is a mashup of Mama (a movie that only came out in January), Paranormal Activity (a movie that hasn't been relevant since 2012), and the Evil Dead remake (or at least the trailer, because they clearly haven't seen the movie). They even try to add Planet of the Apes into the plot, and a scene involving Inception. Why couldn't they choose stuff that's more relevant? At least they don't throw in absolutely everything from anything popular in the last few months. Bottom line, this movie sucked, but it's not the absolute worst in the franchise.
Now, if for some reason, you actually
want to see a Scary Movie (you crazy fuck), go do yourself a favour and watch the third one. It's not
good, but it's bearable.

I will. I just bought The Cabin in the Woods, and I'm definitely gonna watch that tomorrow.
Side notes:
- "Mama" is a deadite. No, seriously. She read the words, "*G word I can't remember* Klattu Barata Niktou," from the Necro-*AHEM*"Book of Evil," and became possessed.
- Ted is featured on the poster, although he isn't featured in the movie.
- You know that one part where Charlie Sheen says "I've come back from worse than this?" Not in the movie.
- Mostly everyone in the theater was a teenager. Most of them were wearing snapbacks. I'm not surprised.
- There are no returning characters. Not even Cindy or Brenda.
