I remember when the Scary Movie franchise first hit theaters, and it was genuinely funny. Sharp, fast, and absolutely unhinged in the best possible way. The Wayans Brothers had a gift for taking the movies you just watched and tearing them apart in ways that made you laugh until it hurt. I went into Scary Movie 6 hopeful. They brought back the whole original crew — Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans — twenty-six years later. The band was back together. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh, it went wrong.

Now listen, I understand that spoof movies have to go for it. I’m not a prude. I’ve seen things in horror theaters that would make a lesser woman hand in her popcorn bucket and go home. But there is a difference between bold and lazy, and Scary Movie 6 spent most of its runtime firmly camped on the lazy side of that line. The sex toy humor showed up early, stayed late, and apparently forgot to call an Uber home. What started as a gag became a crutch, and by the midpoint I was well and truly over it. I’ll just say the movie kept shoving the same joke down our throats… and yes, the pun is fully intended this time.
The real tragedy is that there’s genuinely good material hiding underneath all of that. The film takes aim at Longlegs, Get Out, M3GAN, Sinners, The Substance, and more (Rotten Tomatoes) — all worthy targets with real comedic potential. A few of those spoofs actually made me laugh out loud. But just when you think the movie is finding its footing, it trips over its own prop department again.

about the RunPee app.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused - its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing - so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10

Marlon Wayans said he wanted to recapture the original flavor. I believe he meant it. Bless his heart, I really do. The originals were smart-dumb — dumb on the surface, sharp underneath. This one forgot the “sharp” part somewhere between the second and third vibrator gag.
If you grew up with the franchise and want to see the old gang together again, I won’t tell you to stay home. Just walk in with your expectations already on the floor. And if you want a horror comedy that actually delivers from start to finish, go dust off Cabin in the Woods instead. Your sides will thank you.

Plot
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.
RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
