It would seem Nielsen rewrote some of the scenes in which he appears. Spoof veterans Leslie Nielsen and Charlie Sheen, who could’ve made much better choices in projects, do their best with what they’ve got, but even they can only do so much. He’s a sort of token black rapper character that pops up from time to time to muddle things up, dragging down both the comedy and cleverness of the movie several notches. I would love to explain Anthony Andersons’s role to you except that he doesn’t really have one. She’s let off the hook as her character dies early on, replaced by a corpse that becomes the source of way too many tired physical gags. Her co-star Regina Hall also returns as Brenda Meeks. The only thing she gets to work with is a confused deer-in-the-headlights look which gets really old within the first ten minutes. How exactly Anna Faris has been suckered into playing this limp role three times is beyond me.
Anna Faris has been the leading lady for all three movies in the Scary Movie trilogy and for 3.5 she reprises her role as Cindy Campbell, the dimwitted piñata who is targeted for most of the story’s undercooked horror-gags. And if by some cruel twist of fate you find yourself in a theater watching Simon Rex bang his schlong between two cooking pots, just don't say I didn't warn you.The movie’s biggest flaw lies with its characters and the shameful cast members tapped to play them. Unless you were that group of sixth-graders I saw sneak into my theater after buying Croods tickets, I don't think anyone will enjoy this film. In fact, I'd recommend seeing literally any other movie in theaters right now: 42, To the Wonder, Disconnect - hell, go see Evil Dead again, it doesn't matter.
If it isn't obvious already, I'll spell it out for you: Don't see Scary Movie 5. Even with the film's lampooning of Evil Dead, which came out just last week, all the writers really had to work with was the trailer, which as you might expect is hardly the basis for sharp satire.
Not only did the first Paranormal Activity come out almost six years ago, but another similar pic, A Haunted House, beat this movie to the punch three months ago. The best example of this is Scary Movie 5's sendup of Paranormal Activity, which, along with Mama, carries the central arc of the film. Of course, the inherent problem with spoof movies is that, by the time they hit theaters, they're already hopelessly out of date. Shannon aside, I can't even think of one time I actually chuckled. To say this script was written by monkeys would be an insult to all those monkeys in a room with typewriters. In terms of comedy, Scary Movie 5 is painfully flat, stupid and vulgar, as well as moderately racist. In fact, the only cameo that's even worth mentioning is Molly Shannon, who briefly ignites the screen as a cigarette-smoking, martini-chugging Winona Ryder from Black Swan. There's also an odd smattering of Inception and Rise of the Planet of the Apes in this - because why not? Then of course you have cameos from the likes of Snoop Dogg (Lion?), Katt Williams, Terry Crews, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Hyland, Katrina Bowden, Kate Walsh, Usher, Heather Locklear and Mike Tyson - none of which elevate their dumb, one-note gags. (That alone should clue you in to type of comedy we're dealing with here.) No, in this installment, we follow Ashley Tisdale and Simon Rex, who, throughout the course of the film, mimic scenes from horror pics like Paranormal Activity, Mama, Sinister and Evil Dead - but, you know, with fart jokes and stuff. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen their whole schtick - save for one clownish "sex" sequence accompanied by the Benny Hill theme. Second, their screen time lasts all of three minutes at the top of the flick. First off, if those two "actors" are your reason for seeing any movie, then shame on you. (For real.)) Also, if you were hoping to see some big comeback from Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan in this movie, you can forget it.

Best case scenario, Scary Movie 5 was a chance to reboot the series and reclaim some of its dignity from the early 2000s.
