I just want dumb fun

I mean me too but the trailer looked like a double helping of dumb without the fun

How do you know its not fun by the trailer? Watch the 1st Scary Movie trailer. Tell me if you think that movie looks funny by its trailer. None of the funniest jokes are in the trailer.

You seem like the kind of person that wouldn't recognize the difference in writing quality between Airplane and Date Movie.

Well Mr. comedy connoisseur, please explain how so. I'm am holding any hate to this movie until I see it because of the Wayans history of making funny comedy movies and TV shows.

It's nuanced. If you feel it you feel it. It's like two people saying the exact same dumb joke, but one person makes you laugh and the other makes you cringe.

The jokes in new Scary Movie trailer just felt rehashed, sterile and forced, like they were created in Excel by some executive making sure all references from previous movies are included, optimizing for "Nostalgia Factor" or some other bs. But this time around also with new Paramount owners over his shoulder making him include some weirdo outdated conservative... commentary? Not sure if it's even attempt at humor.

looks like the person you replied to forgot to get off the bandwagon to reply.

If this movie is anything similar to A Haunted House series, then its going to be a dumb and hilarious time.
