(**) out of (****)- ROTTEN
"A Haunted House", "Movie 43", and now "Scary MoVie" in my opinion are actually not the death of cinema and while they are all awful, they do so in a way that's pretty entertaining in a so-bad- it's-good theory but still guys, don't waste your time if you have it elsewhere to spend it on.
After riding of our beloved Anna Faris.. and pretty much everyone, leaving us with Ashley Tisdale left me worried. But actually, I liked Ashley! She put a fresh spin on the genre and is good at playing crazy. Everyone else? direct-to-DVD level acting. The jokes? Immature, gross, mildly amusing. Actually "Mama" and "Black Swan"'s spoofs steal the show.
Clocking at an 80 (last time I checked) minutes, this runs pretty short and without its credits, so if you're hurling at the inaneness of it, it'll be over in no time.
Maybe I'm being more lenient on films because I feel I've been too picky, or maybe I'm just having a field day, but I truly believe there are far worse films out there. That's not to say these aren't bad, but for what I was expecting, not that bad. And Lindsay Lohan pretty much MAKES the movie, even though she's in it in the blink of an eye. And for what it's worth, it's actually better than the tepid 3 and 4 of the series.
