A condemnation

agansner

Though I came into Scary Movie with  high expectations-- ready to laugh and have a good time-- and I actually giggled at the first few jokes, I soon realized what an awful disgusting movie this was, and that I was in for an hour and a half of unfunny racist, classist, sexist, homophobic, genitial/fellatio obsessed attempts at humor. This movie is so unbelievably awful that I almost can't stand to listen to anyone talk about how it was funny. (Note: most of these((the afore-mentioned people who think it was actually funny)) people are under the age of 13 and shouldn't have been able to see the movie anyway) When I left, I was so ashamed, especially when I looked over and saw ten year old children walking out as well.

This film is really an argument for the toughing up of admissions at movie theaters. Though everyone accepts the fact that underage kids get into see movies-- especially R rated movies-- maybe things should be made much more difficult for them: the parent or guardian must be with them at all times.

But the blame for this disgusting movie being brought to the public lies also in the ratings administration-- How could it not be NC-17! "Orgasmo" had 1/5 of the adult situations-- and in the companies from which it came: Dimension, through Miramax, and back finally to Disney, of all places. Parents, if you're upset- call Michael Eisner! You really can't blame the Weinstein brothers, they're just a pair of pimps-- exploiting foreign movies and artists, then taking the credit. But please, don't go to see this revolting movie. If you do, you're just reinforcing a terrible idea. As a knowledgable parent would say: "Don't encourage them." A note to the Ratings Board and to the Wayan's brothers: I've seen less Penises in double XX pornos.
