Instead of resting on his comedic laurels, David Zucker deserves to be flogged by them.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

Aforementioned media-attention malcontents Sheen and Lohan may briefly revel in the cheap frivolity of this vacuous vehicle but for others, Scary Movie 5 is nothing more than an 85-minute smirk that has nowhere to go...groundless, gross guffaws.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 17, 2018

Every penny that "Scary Movie V" earns is cinematic blood money, looted from the pockets of unsuspecting moviegoers.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Apr 17, 2016

The writers are on auto pilot once more, relying on the "It's familiar, so it must be funny" routine...

| Oct 16, 2013

Railing against Scary Movie V for diminishing the series' standards would be as effective as criticising Brooke Hogan for disgracing her proud family name. And yet, the fifth instalment of the Scary Movie franchise does do that.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 15, 2013

A boldly uninspired torrent of halfhearted slapstick, interminable poop jokes, and pointless pop-culture references, a veritable tsunami of idiocy.

| Jul 12, 2013

Enough. Please.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2013

This is a big waste of time, drawing one more gasp out of a series that should have given up the ghost long ago.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2013

This franchise has steadily gotten worse and worse with #5 being the all time low.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Apr 21, 2013

The only thing scary about 'Scary Movie 5' is the thought of a sequel.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Apr 20, 2013

It's crude, gross and probably wishes it was offensive but comes across as just lazy, limp and unfunny.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 18, 2013

Don't. Don't go see this. Don't subject yourself to this. Don't subject your brain to this. Don't give these people your money and encourage them to make more of this.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Apr 17, 2013

The filmmakers border on sophomoric desperation, achieving a measurable shred of humor only in the outtakes during the closing credits.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Apr 16, 2013

A laughter vacuum whose race to parody the likes of Mama and the new Evil Dead remake didn't stretch to writing actual jokes.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 15, 2013

The latest installment of the slick, highly profitable parody franchise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 14, 2013

It's supposed to be funny, but you'd have an easier time reading a zombie's pulse than you would finding a single good laugh ...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 14, 2013

This vapid, vulgar insult to the intelligence couldn't possibly have been tested on any focus groups. Can we all now agree that we've reached the cinematic saturation point with the rapidly-expiring, Scary Movie franchise?

| Original Score: 0/4 | Apr 14, 2013

If I ever have to watch another Scary Movie film, I'll give up on writing, cinema, and society forever.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Apr 13, 2013

For the art-house crowd, who may, I suppose, stumble drunk into the wrong theater after too much Chardonnay, there are nods to Black Swan and 127 Hours.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 13, 2013

The scariest thing about Scary Movie 5 is that it actually made me chortle less than some of the silly horror flicks it's trying to spoof!

| Original Score: 0/5 | Apr 12, 2013
