Scary Movie 5 (styled as Scary MoVie) is a 2013 American comedy film, and the fifth film in the Scary Movie franchise. It is being distributed by Dimension Films, a division of The Weinstein Company. The film is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by David Zucker.[3] It was released on April 12, 2013.[4]

Scary Movie 5 is the first installment of the franchise not to feature Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) or Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), who appeared in all four earlier movies. It premiered on April 11, at the Hollywood’s ArcLight Cinerama Dome.[5]

Development

The film is directed by Lee and written by Zucker.[3] Faris, who starred in the previous films in the franchise, confirmed that she would not return for the fifth film.[11] Tisdale's involvement in the film was confirmed in June 2012.[12][13]

Lohan and Sheen joined the cast on August 2012.[14][15] Terry Crews joined the cast on August 14, 2012.[16] Filming began in September 2012.[17][18] The first promotional image of the film, featuring Lohan and Sheen in the very first scene of the movie, was released on September 20, 2012.[19][20]

The only actors from any of the previous installments to appear in this film are Sheen, Elliott,[21] Rex, Wilkinson, and Shannon. They do not portray their original characters, Sheen stars as himself, Rex plays Dan, Shannon plays Heather, Wilkinson is a slave, and Elliott's character is unknown.

The film was largely filmed in and around Atlanta, Georgia in the fall of 2012, with additional filming at Sunset Gower Studios in Los Angeles.

Reception

Critical response

Scary Movie 5 was not screened for critics in advanced,[22] but was still universally panned. On Rotten Tomatoes film has a score of 6% based on 35 reviews, with an average rating of 1.9/10.[23] Another review aggregation website Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 14/100, signifying "overwhelming dislike".[24] IGN gave the movie a 1.0 out of 10.[25] Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post gave the film zero stars saying, "The movie is so appalling that even a film fan who guffawed her way through “The Aristocrats” would feel nothing but a deep emptiness as the end credits begin to roll, wondering if one solid joke was too much to ask from a movie that bills itself as comedy."[26] Kyle Smith of the New York Post gave the film one star saying, "Down at the bottom of the comedy barrel, where the slimy gray algae-like stuff lives: That’s where this script came from. If you must go to “Scary Movie 5,” be sure to bring an iPad with you. That way you can watch a better movie on it."[27] Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News gave the film one star saying, "Like so much of this whole series - hatched in 2000 by the Wayans brothers and intermittently directed by "Airplane!" veteran David Zucker, though newcomer Malcolm D. Lee takes over here - the mere mention of a familiar pop culture figure or title is supposed to be hilarious. It often isn't, and in fact the constant name-dropping and gross-out humor gets tiresome (in a movie that's at least 10 minutes too long). Luckily, folks like Snoop and good sports like Sheen and, yes, Lohan, break up the monotony. Until, like an undead beastie, the boredom and dumb jokes come roaring back."[28] Rafer Guzman of Newsday felt that "Even the talented people -- comedian Katt Williams as a fake psychic, high-energy actor Jerry O'Connell in a send-up of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" books -- get chewed up and spit out by this relentless antilaugh machine. "Scary Movie 5" doesn't even have the imagination for a worthwhile gross-out joke. When the best you can offer is a poopy toothbrush, it's time to pack it in."[29]

Box office

Scary Movie 5 is expected to earn around $20 million in its opening weekend, about half as much as its predecessors, with the Los Angeles Times predicting about $17 million,[30] and Box Office Mojo predicting "an opening in the high-teen-millions is likely".[31][32]
