It is always hard to recommend a movie that if I wasn’t waiting for a specific scene, I would have closed it less than 30 minutes in. This is not a movie for the sake of entertainment. This feels more like a statement, a reunion, and a satire.
The first few minutes of the movie is just funny enough to makes you think that the Wayans brothers are now for sell, and they are making a sequel just like Scary Movie 3 to 5. The rest of the movie utilized forced modern cliche, nostalgia ploy that makes no sense if you have seen the original, forced meta, forced political and social commentary, and a forced sequel. The Wayans brothers basically blows up every tricks in the book, and it just makes you cringe. Then the ending happened. That’s when it hit, well, they sort of said it out loud, but still. They are not here to parody the horror genre, they are here to parody Scary Movie and the movie industry as a whole, and to say “they are back”.
The Wayans brothers used the whole movie, as a blown up cliche on the current movie franchises and the direction they are heading. And I have to hand it to them, it worked. It satirize the idea that a franchise needs to “pass the torch” when the current cast members got old. It satirize how when a franchise is dying, you need to bring in “star power(s)” to save it. And the ending and the end credit scenes, that’s just a big “f u” to the industry. It used the exact same tricks in the same book, yet somehow, I got more laughs more frequently in the last 20 minutes then the last 3 movies ever could.It is always hard to recommend a movie that if I wasn’t waiting for a specific scene, I would have closed it less than 30 minutes in.
