Scary Movie 5 Review
Since childhood, Valentino Bravo (Eugenio Derbez) was rather fearful person, especially because his father encouraged him and tried to raise the boy fearless. When he ran out of home screaming that he didn't love his father anymore, he became Acapulpo's playboy, surrounded by tourists day and night. Until one day a women name Julie (Jessica Lindsey), brought with her a baby girl (Loreto Peralta), claiming it was his daughter. That was when Valentino needed to overcome all his fears, to try to succeed as a responsible and caring father. Since then, the way of handling life totally changed, just because of one little human being.
As with prior entries, the plot is a thin piece of storytelling designed to string together disconnected parody scenes and over-the-top gags. Continuing the horror comedy series created by Shawn, Marlon, and Keenan Ivory Wayans, Scary Movie 5 is a relatively clean slate for the franchise – with very few returning faces behind or in front of the camera. This time, the basic Scary Movie setup kicks-off with adoptive parents Dan (Simon Rex) and Jody (Ashley Tisdale) who arrive home with three orphaned children – and soon witness supernatural events occurring.
Admittedly, the Scary Movie series was never meant to attract a wide array of cinema lovers. Quality parody is supposed to say something intelligent about its targeted material but, whenever there’s a chance for smart satire, Scary Movie 5 introduces a new poop joke instead.
In the time since Scary Movie 4 (back in April 2006), audiences have been treated to a number of well-received box office horror hits – meaning that Scary Movie 5 has a wide array of well-known properties to riff-on, including: Paranormal Activity, Scream 4, Insidious, Sinister, The Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, and Mama. Unfortunately, Scary Movie 5 is a dumbed down and hollow version of the core formula – resulting in an idiotic (and unamusing) attempt at parody that is tedious not fun.
Moviegoers may disagree on the quality of the original films in the Scary Movie franchise but, even when those installments failed to provide intelligent laughs, some of the jokes could at least illicit guilty chuckles. It was designed to target a specific chunk of potential ticket buyers with the promise of over-the-top humor in fun horror parodies – and, even if the series wasn’t for everyone, the films delivered worthwhile laughs to their intended audience. However, without any of the original filmmakers Keenen Ivory Wayans (White Chicks) and David Zucker (Naked Gun) or stars Anna Faris, Regina Hall, as well as Marlon and Shawn Wayans, Scary Movie 5 forgoes any attempt at earning laughs.
In lieu of earning laughs through worthwhile satire (inspired parody that toys with expectations and themes), Scary Movie 5 continuously chooses the most unimaginative or disgusting direction for nearly every single attempted laugh. Unfortunately, Scary Movie 5 is another step down for the already flailing series – repeatedly relying on bottom of the barrel imitation in place of biting satire.
