Trivia:

Composer George S. Clinton originally wrote a 70-minute, full orchestral score for the film but it was ultimately rejected in favor of the style of the temp score. Most of the temp score was compiled from recordings of Marco Beltrami's work, and he was asked to score the film. However, Beltrami did not have the time to do it, and thus hired 11 other people to write music.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Cindy is fighting with the cat one minute the litter box is full, then the next minute the litter box is empty as the cat flings kitty litter at Cindy.

Quotes:

Alex: [while having sex on the ceiling] Bring it on! Kinky's my middle name, bitch!

Entertaining

Although not quite as funny as the original, I still enjoyed Scary Movie 2 very much. While some bits are downright idiotic, some are genuinely hilarious, and will have you rolling in the aisles. If you're not a fan of Scary Movie, you won't like this one either, however. But, if you enjoyed the first, come back to see this one too.
