The children weren't in the theater! This movie just barely misses an x rating, and this is coming from an extremely liberal critic. "Scary Movie" features too much adult-based humor and sexual situations that are so strong-that to have so many children in the theater actually left many of us in there embarrassed to be laughing at such situations. (i.e., male nudity, explosive ejaculations, penis humor, pubic hair humor, etc.....)
I think that the children in the theater enjoyed the film exactly three times: the beginning scene of the Scream-like murder, the "whazzup" sequence, and when the murderer fights John Woo style with the main character near the end, which consequently were scenes from the trailer. Everything else in the film was purely aimed at adults. You may say "That makes sense, it is an R rated film after all..." The trouble is, however, that with an R rating the kids can get in with an adult. I think this film could have been an NC-17 and still would have been a hit. Parents take note: This film is rated R for a Reason!

never do I roam, for there is nothing sweeter than to greet her, "Hi Honey, I'm Home." That was once our theme song, then a dream song, of a honeycomb..... This show was a cliche, yes. However, it was the cliche that was so endearing. It was nice to see a conservative TV comedy family living in the "real world," and the comedy that ensued worked on so many levels.
We were once a sitcom family, on the black and white TV, now we're off the air been pulled from there and dropped into reality....
For the record, it indeed did get syndication on Nickelodeon. In my region it played on the ABC network also. I believe the concept was ripped off to some extent in the movie "Pleasantville" (You know.. teaching 50's sitcom characters 90's morals).
Life was once much duller, before color, in a monochrome. Still, she gabs all day and spends my money, I find the situation funny, isn't life just so Re-runny? Hi Honey, I'm Home! Hi Honey I'm Home.
