*********************************************************************Here it comes kids, the first day of fall and one of the final days of the Rio Theatre's SUMMER MOVIE BATTLE: 80's vs. Y2K, and team Y2K's final FRIDAY LATE NIGHT movie. Better put down a towel first because you're about to <epic announcer="" voice=""> 'pee--your--pants'... from laughter at Keenen Ivory Wayan's original classic cult parody, SCARY MOVIE. (Please don't bring a towel and please don't pee on our seats. Thank you. --Management)
*********************************************************************
Defying the very notion of good taste, Scary Movie out-parodies the pop culture parodies with a no-holds barred assault on the most popular images and talked-about moments from recent films, television and commercials. The film boldly fires barbs at the classic scenes from "Scream," "The Sixth Sense," "The Matrix," "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "The Blair Witch Project," then goes on to mock a whole myriad of teen movie clichés, no matter the genre.
Six friends - Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams), Buffy Gilmore (Shannon Elizabeth), Greg Phillipe (Lochlyn Monroe), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans), and Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall) - are being stalked by a serial killer. A serial killer that is after them because of an accident that they caused last Halloween. A serial killer that seems to have come out of every other scary movie. The body count has already started with Drew Decker (Carmen Electra), the local town slut, and it's starting to build up. The friends are going to have to escape from both the killer's clutches and annoying news reporter Gail Hailstorm (Chery Oteri) if they plan on living to the sequel.
"Is it funny? Yes, it is." (Roger Ebert)
"The whole thing wobbles, like the garish, trashy, sexy shoes the young folks are wearing this summer on their way (in droves) to movie theaters, intent on abandoning themselves to pleasurable mindlessness." (Entertainment Weekly)
