Seriously, when will this stop? I've watched every one of them and I hated it all of them. I find it funny that in their latest movie they've already made a spoof out of Hancock which has only been out for three days and Hellboy which hasn't even been released yet. This trend needs to stop and it saddens me that there is a market for these movies. I'll give the producer/director some credit this time, at least they got the title right.

I enjoyed Uwe Boll's movies more than these POS.

Scary Movies were quite funny and decent, but these aren't and they're all made by the same people.

@Skerj

If you were implying to me then no, I didn't spend a dime on these movies. I just get them off the net.

No, I was answering your initial question it was not a strike against you.

The first 2 Scary Movies were funny, then after that it just went downhill to a **** filled crevasse.

They are making a Heath Ledger joke in this. Also there are making parody's of movies that are not even out yet. The trailer is on youtube for this.

The title is very ironic by the way

Money. As long as someone will buy them, Hollywood will keep churning it out.

The joke is...these films probably haven't even made much money to begin with(minus the ones that havent come out). Didn't many of these flop in the theater?

But yeah the people that make these ones should do something else.

Alot of movies may flop in theaters, but money made from overseas and the residuals from dvds and cable will make up for it.

I'm ashamed of myself for not noticing that in the first place, so well done there. What an aptly named movie.

Every year you can count on one parody movie (or 3 now it seems), a talking animal movie, 1-2 dancing movies, at LEAST 2 comic book flicks (I think it's like 5-6 this year if you count Wanted being a graphic novel prior), 3-5 CG flicks that aren't from Pixar or Dreamworks, and a Saw/Hostel/Whatever weak ass gorror flick someone churns out.

You forgot the Adam Sandler movie, by the way.

And 1 or 2 movies that could actually somewhat be deemed as "art". A shame, really.
