Scary Movie (2000) |
"[The Wayans'] approach, incorporating the crude humor that has become so popular of late, generates an unfortunate digression from the point." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Scary Movie 2 (2001) |
"Basically just a bunch of silly spoof scenes cobbled together around a thin premise, it allows the Wayans brothers to have fun in the way a group of kids might have fun with a video camcorder, except with a multi-million-dollar budget." |
John R. McEwen |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
School of Rock (2003) |

Showtime (2002) |
