Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/cutting/decapitation/bodily waste/man on woman violates/suicide/drugs

Storyline/Characters/Performances: these three components go hand-in-hand in one way or another. Storyline; it is a parody of Scream [1996] and I Know What You Did Last Summer [1997] with other little parodies in the mix as well [I will use a maximum of three other parodies in this review] and just a friendly heads up there is one scene during the closing credits and one after the closing credits, but I digress it also takes the Character types/Character developments from these films also and they makes their own versions; so including the on-screen chemistry this is all good as well.

Action/Comedy: these two components consistently go hand-in-hand also; we have our lead character/performer Campbell/Faris in combat with Scaryface, where at some point she performs this infamous mid-air kick [from The Matrix 1999 film title; now if you want me to be a little bit more specific the mid-air kick I am referring to is where off the top of my head Trinity/Moss performs this kick; goes up in the air time freezes the camera rotates to a different perspective and then real-time kicks in and she performs this kick and comes back down; full disclosure I haven't seen this film for a while so I could be slightly wrong but regardless the reference is correct just maybe not in the right order.] But back to the Scary Movie whilst Campbell/Faris is in mid-air before coming back down she decides to perform the Irish dance known as The River Dance in fact Ghostface whilst on the floor facing her lying down decides to participate in this as well and a little while later they decide to bring out another Matrix 1999 reference where back in this film to defend against something quickly someone like it Anderson/Neo/Reeves or anyone like him can perform these rapid movements to dodge out of the way. But Ghostface will show you what happens when you may not be exactly the fittest to perform this move as he performs this like limbo move to move out of the way of what is being thrown at him, but his back jars in this position, so he has to go over to this couch to resort the problem.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean this film was released when this genre of film standards were good and this genre wasn't crammed full of generally speaking poor film projects [ for some strange reason roughly around the early 2000's the film industry/Hollywood in their infinite wisdom decided to ram these types of films down our throats, but once again generally speaking most of them weren't of positive viewing.] But let's be positive for here and now this project has a good balance to it on all aspects so this mark is the right outcome and it has a grand total of 13 Awards to its name [7 Winners which just for one example; Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 2001; Blockbuster Entertainment Award; Favorite Supporting Actress - Comedy Cheri Oteri. 6 Nominations likewise just for one example; MTV Movie + TV Awards 2001; Breakthrough Female Performance Anna Faris And one final thing this film is it part of popular culture in this timeframe as well, because there is a telephone sequence where this expression was born "WAZZZZUP!" quick description; you’ll know when you come across this sequence because whomever after picks up the phone; after Ghostface and Shorty/Marlon Wayne is users this expression; in fact Budweiser took this and slightly adapted it from having some bud to having a bud it ran from 1999-2018 [with its 20th Anniversary in 2018] I have just done a little bit more research they had many adverts/commercials around the same individuals or different adverts/commercials around the same expression.
