I don't mind a really dumb comedy sometimes. But it actually has to be funny. Airplane, that's a stupidly funny movie, and one of the best of all time. As is The Naked Gun Trilogy and the Hot Shots series. Director David Zucker and his team really know how to do stupid right. But not even he and his co-writer Pat Proft can save Scary Movie V.
Scary Movie V is a stupefyingly dumb comedy that parodies actual good movies to boost its self esteem. I'm glad Zucker skipped out on directing this thing, but he still wrote this piece of crap, which makes me sad. In fact, the entire movie makes me sad. It makes me sad because it has all of these talented people who have really hit rock bottom, with nowhere else to go. Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale, Mac Miller, Snoop Dogg (Oops, Snoop "Lion"), Simon Rex, possibly Heather Locklear, and Katt Williams show up to this thing, and it's the saddest movie since Amour.
What is this about? Good question. I don't really know. The story is so mashed together you feel as if Zucker and Proft were mainly trying to make as many references as humanly possible. They spoof Mama (the main one), Evil Dead, Paranormal Activity, Black Swan, Inception (?), and Rise of the Planet of the Apes (?).
That said, I laughed once or twice, mainly at the Black Swan scenes (excluding the one where a ballerina, who I'm pretty sure is Heather Locklear, gives birth right on stage). But what also doesn't help the movie is the timing. Because Paranormal Activity has already been parodied in A Haunted House, and much better might I add.
At the end of the day, Scary Movie V is pointless, unfunny, and incredibly stupid. Gee, I wonder why Anna Faris didn't show up? Probably because this movie is even too dumb for her, and she's Anna Faris! Charlie Sheen isn't winning anymore. He's losing, and pretty roughly might I add. The same goes for everyone involved in this movie.
