Everyone knows that sequels never live up to the predecessors. There are many exceptions to this rule, but Scary Movie 2 is not one of them. It seems that Keenan Ivory Wayans, once the brains behind clever parodies and satires, and his brothers just slapped together a bunch a jokes and tied it up with a weak plot just to cash in on the success of the original.
The jokes this time around mostly fall flat on their face simply because a) they last too long (i.e - Chris Elliot's deformed hand in the food) or b) it's been done before in the previous movie. Oh, and I don't know what the Wayans were thinking when they thought that sticking in pop culture catch phrases would garnish laughs (specifically the parrot mimicking a certain British gameshow host -- you know the line, the guy who fancies himself a comedian at work by the water cooler always says it in everyday conversation thinking it's a side splitter).
The original Scary Movie got a lot of it's fuel from shocking its audience (with jokes you'd think would've gotten them an NC-17) or by going against the conventions (i.e. - the killer is never caught and the main character gets run over in the end). The only thing shocking that can be said of Scary Movie 2 is that it doesn't even come close to the risks taken by the first movie.
The final nail in the coffin came from the movies clumsy plot. It seems that they jerked around for a good hour or so until the professor's assistant tells everyone how to rid the polterguist pretty easily and BOOM!, conflict resolved quicker than you thought there was one. It makes you wonder why the Wayans never explained how come they couldn't have just done this sooner instead of having everyone run around like idiots (or, for that matter, why they didn't explain how all the characters who were supposedly killed off in the first movie were all fine and dandy for the sequel).
You could probably do worst than Scary Movie 2, but you can definitely do a whole lot better. You're not missing much here if you haven't seen it yet.

Why this show was cancelled so quick is beyond me. Oh yeah... the ratings. Well it's not the show's fault, it was the time slot (it was on at 8:30am on Saturdays where I live). This show was great nontheless with its take on the kid show genre in general. I still love the Bill Nye parody where everyone is singing "The Grass is Green" (you have to see it to understand) and the 80% Chance of Rain (a spoof on disaster movies). I hope they release these on tape sometime soon.
What's the deal with Disney movies lately? I mean, the live action ones. Okay, even the animated movies are losing its luster. With that said, Inspector Gadget has got to be the worst live action Disney movie to date (or at least of the ones I seen). What happen to all the TRON's and MIDNIGHT MADNESS'S?
Where shall I begin? Let's start with the over commercialisation of the movie in general. Was the blatant Yahoo reference supposed to be funny? It would have been less insulting if the movie just paused for a commercial break. And I think I had enough of Disney slapping their name into the script (i.e. the car nonchalantly says "...this is a Disney movie...").
Now let's move on to the utter disrespect for the traditions the cartoon set. The car NEVER talked (this is not Knight Rider) and Dr. Claw was NEVER seen. I admit they got the other mundane details right but the visible Dr. Claw just made it so detached from it's cartoon roots.
Trust me when I say you'll get more enjoyment by watching re-runs of the old Inspector Gadget cartoons instead of sitting through this special effect dreck.
