Review of A Haunted House 2 (2014) by Leon B — 21 Mar 2015

Review:

This movie is really stupid and the jokes go way too far. Its basically about a couple who move into a haunted house, just like many other movies in this genre but in this case it's a comedy which is based on the Paranormal Activity movie. There are some scenes that go on forever, like the sex scene with the doll and Marlon Wayans really goes far to make the jokes funny, in a far fetched type of way. Personally I didn't find the movie that funny and I'm surprised that it made so much money at the box office. The multi-racial content with the Mexicans and the black and white couple, we're also a bit disturbing and the family seemed pretty dumb. Don't get me wrong, I did watch the movie with an open mind and I totally didn't take it seriously, but the jokes were quite offensive and I really got fed up with it after a while. Not Funny!

Round-Up:

I'm sure that were going to be seeing more from this franchise, as it made money at the box office and it's obviously got an audience which actually find it funny. I usually find a couple of funny scenes to talk about but in this movie, I really cringed throughout. The prolific sex scenes with the doll, must have been hard for Marlon Wayans to pull off so I will give him props for that but the rest of the cast were quite poor. That is due to the awful script and silly storyline which was written by Marlon Wayans. Anyway, at the end of the day, we all know what to expect from these films so if you want to watch a silly film with silly jokes then this is the movie for you.

Budget: $4million.

Worldwide Gross: $24million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their silly comedies about a family who move into a haunted house. 2/10.
