i really want to like this film . i love horror and and i especially love horror satire and parody . and i can usually cut writer of parody a lot of slack when something isn not outrageously funny . i write parody humor and so i know how hard it can be to hit your mark . but nonetheless and this be pretty bad . of course and the urge to compare it to scary movie be very hard to resist . it simply boil down to the fact that the wayans be try to add some wit to scary movie in addition to make fun of horror movie . the maker of shriek . and on the other hand and think that simply visually copy a scene from a horror movie be inherently funny on it own and with no need to write actual gag to go along with it . and of course and all of the overused cliche in parody humor be present . be a lesbian be suppose to be funny and be a virgin be suppose to be funny and drug use be suppose to be funny and be overweight be suppose to be funny and etc . but again and they be simply present and and not use to incite humor . ask a wiccan esque girl if she be a lesbian may have be funny on it own and say and a decade ago when every high school do not have it own wiccan chapter and but now it take a little more insight to make that stereotype funny . even the one more recent cliche and be a big bust woman actually have implant be suppose to funny and be roll out almost a an unfunny non sequitur . the exact same joke be do a an actual punchline in scary movie . but a i say and i be try to avoid comparison . you can just tell the writer and director do not really know how to handle this style of comedy . they obviously be try to emulate the movie of the zuckers ( you know youre in trouble when a character in a parody mention a funny parody ) and but at the same time they do not understand what make them hilarious . it perhaps the cinematic equivalent to listen to a beatles cover band . you can tell they know the music and have a real love for what theyre do and but there no magic behind it . the writer even try to explain what they feel be the parody formula by have the lead girl list the rule to survive a parody . the rule she give seem more fitting for a problem child sequel or a fourth season episode of ren and stimpy . as far a i know and airplane . do not have hanna barbera sound effect or mislead sex shot . the movie seem to have overlook the only real rule to survive a parody represent make it funny .
