I had great hopes for this one, both since it's now kind of dated, and that I enjoyed the Scream movies. Sadly, it wasn't funny. The Scream films are post-modern examinations of the sthe slasher movies original director Wes Craven made popular with Nightmare on Elm Street. It becomes immediately apparent you can't mock what's already been mocked. All the horror references exist as-is inside Scream. Add o that penis jokes land er... limp, gay jokes are just painful, and why bother with cleavage here if there's already cleavage in many slasher films? The baddie is a goofy version of the guy from Scream Who cares? I'm shocked this resulted in so many sequels. Avoid at all costs! Damn, where's Scott when I need him?!
