Scary Movie 5 Review: Is it as bad as critics say?

"Let's just say fans of the franchise won't be disappointed."

Scary Movie 5 recently came out, 7 years after its latest predecessor, Scary Movie 4. While none of these movies ever tend to get good reviews, the 5th installment received the worst reviews in the franchise, getting only a 5% fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes. However,  I really don't know why, let's just say fans of the franchise won't be disappointed. While it's true the movie does make some pop culture jokes that just don't hit the mark, for example, Honey Boo Boo popping out of a box saying "A dolla makes me holla Honey Boo Boo" and everyone screaming, but for the most part, the movie kept up the stupid humor the whole series has had that its fans have come to love. So the humor was pretty consistent with its predecessors. The casting for this installment was also great, too. This installment brought back series veteran Simon Rex, who jumped back into his role perfectly. One of the main reasons I was very apprehensive to see this movie was because this installment didn't feature Anna Faris, who has starred in every Scary Movie yet, and while I'm still not sure why she was replaced, Ashley Tisdale took the role perfectly, and she didn't miss a beat. The trailer really didn't show the best parts of this movie, in fact it showed some of the most dull parts of the movie. The trailer also made it seem as if Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan were a major part of the movie, which was not true, as they were only in the movie for about three minutes. Along with them, a huge list of celebrities made cameos, which actually did add to the movie and brought a few extra laughs. Overall, unlike most critics out there, I really did enjoy this movie, and I encourage you all to go see it.
