I'll start out by admitting that I've never seen the "original" Scary Movie. My friends revealed all the funny gags and foul scenes to me as soon as the movie came out, so I figured that I had in fact already seen the movie. Nevertheless, I am dearly aware that the original and its sequel are absolutely disgusting and alarmingly tacky. Every single joke refers to urine, vomit, or feces. Therefore, for clarity (and accuracy), I will refer to these two movies as Fart Piss Turd One and Fart Piss Turd Two. As you can see, I am struggling to find a way to write a more substantive review of this movie (i.e. more than three sentences). Fart Piss Turd Two really doesn't deserve even two sentences worth of commentary, but it's been a slow movie week, and I might as well write something to take up the space. Alright, now that the preamble is out of the way, here we go:
There is a very fine line between gross-comical and gross-foul. This line is so fine in fact that some people have no idea when they have crossed it. Now meet the Wayans brothers. Within the context of this review, Shawn, Marlon, and Keenan Ivory Wayans fall decidedly into the aforementioned category of "some people." Fart Piss Turd Two is just about the most foul movie I have ever watched. I am aware that Fart Piss Turd One was as gross, if not more so; however, the original at least had a ounce of creativity and wit to tag along with each bodily function-oriented wisecrack. There is no such cleverness in Piss Fart Turd Two. This kind of crap is bathroom-humor at its worst-- not remotely funny and just plain tasteless. The Wayans brothers have either run out of luck or run out of the magic bong water that gave them the good ideas in the first place. Just pray that we never get as desensitized to foulness as the Wayans, lest we turn into a society of shit-flingers who clothe in vomit, use handjobs in place of handshakes, and communicate to each other by drawing out words on the ground with our own streams of urine. |
