Inatividade Paranormal 2

I didn't really like the Scary Movie series so I was pleasantly surprised by the similar (but funnier) A Haunted House. Still, I wasn't looking forward to this sequel since comedy sequels almost always suck. Sadly, this one does suck for the most part. Marlon Wayans tries so so hard and carries the movie on his back 95% of the time. His shtick is constant and, because of this, I grew tired of him very quickly. By the half-hour mark I was ready to throw in the towel. But I stuck with it and it does get better in the last twenty minutes or so. Cedric the Entertainer, Missi Pyle, Hayes MacArthur, and Kym Whitley are all more amusing than the movie deserves. Jaime Pressly is terrible. Gabriel Iglesias is one tired Mexican joke after another. The humor is over the top and often gross. It sets out to top the first movie in crudeness. Why this was the goal is beyond me but I was worried it would be. The Wayans family seem to believe that comedy gets funnier as it gets nastier, which is why the vast majority of their work is bottom-of-the-barrel garbage. See it if you like your humor as lowbrow as it can possibly get.

There's no doubt the Wayans are funny. Marlon Wayans does a great job carrying this hard-driving sequel. In a similar style as Jim Varney narrating the Ernest films, breaking the fourth wall, the entire then -current crop of horror films (Paranormal Activity, The Conjuring, Annabelle) are lampooned to infinity to mostly good results. The cast does fine, and Gabriel Inglasias and Cedric the Entertainer ads strong comedic support. Largely, however, this is a one man show. This is far-out, "wow, did he really go that far?" type of humor that's falling out of favor in the woke era. Happily, the results are pretty good, but the show runs out of steam (and ideas) before the credits roll. It's a pretty good time, with expectations in check.

It's easy to understand the mixed feelings and harsh reviews. This is no Driving Miss Daisy. You are in Wayans World and if you don't know what that means, you probably don't belong there.

Surpassing the ridiculous to almost the sublime, in moments. Expect boat loads of bodily functions, indescribable scenes of coarse silliness and at least 2 ways to kill a dog. Oh, and a set piece 'cock fight' (no spoilers).

More than just a series of gags, there is effort on display from all involved. Wayans screeches and mugs to the camera while we explore race issues and flatuence.

Your enjoyment or repulsion will depend entirely on your expectations. If you like the Wayans brand, it's far from the worst. It's no 'Don't be a menace...' or an early Scary Movie; still, a riot which hits the target. Bullseye it is not.

I give it 5.3 farts out of a soiling.

This is such a misunderstood film. I found it to be really funny. I can see why a lot of people do not get the humor in this film but for the people that does you will find a lot of laughs... especially Marlon's solo work with just the doll in the scenes... for example the argument that he gets into with the doll is really funny because it is so real... it is the exact same argument and the same stages of an argument that most men and women have been through. I do not understand how so many people call this film unwatchable... I know that my sense of humor is dark and I find a lot of things funny that your average person does not but I love scary movie 1 and 2 , love films like superbad or spaceballs... and I can see that this film isnt a classic like those but it still has some very funny material and I respect Marlon as a comedian more and more with every film of his I see.

i wasn't going to watch due to all the negative comments then thought if i went by all the comments I've read id have probably only ever gotten to watch 2 movies in my life. so watched it and had a darn good laugh. if you have a sense of humor and didn't laugh, lighten up, bottle of wine, relax and watch again. not every movie is going to be a blockbuster. I've read some long winded reviews on here about some movies...like your the only "film critic" on the planet and you must get your point across to the dumb asses who might be about to watch it. we are all individuals,different tastes,so if you didn't like a movie for any reason say so in 3 words instead of trying to turn the whole world against it
