Barnes & Noble Scary Movie -- directed by In Living Colors Keenan Ivory Wayans -- is a warm-hearted parody of slasher flicks, in much the same spirit that Im Gonna Git You Sucka took on the blaxploitation genre with joyous abandon. Poking fun at every teen-horror-movie cliché we can recall (and, surely, then some), the movie zips along with loving glee, building gratuitous tension, flaunting horny teens, and savoring melodramatic rage. American Pies Shannon Elizabeth gets major laughs as the beauty-pageant-winning ditz who shows off her "acting talent" by screaming in terror. Shawn Wayans also sparks titters as a killer-cum-football-player with a feminine side. Saturday Night Lives Cheri Oteri also cameos as the requisite hyper-obnoxious newscaster (knocking off Courteney Coxs Scream work), and making a much-needed comeback as Principal Squiggly is Laverne and Shirleys Squiggy (David L. Lander). If you havent already guessed, theres enough broad humor here (fart jokes, booby jokes, etc.) to make Mad TV and latter-day Mel Brooks blanche. Still, you have to admire Wayans for upholding the sacred torch of juvenile satire and catching a few great laughs along the way.
