Plot
Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan gathered to make sex tapes with over 20 cameras by Sheen's bed. The fast-time ribbon passes forward through the two doing all kinds of bedroom antics, including gymnastics, horseback riding, and having a clown jumping under the sheets. Sheen is drawn into the air by paranormal powers and thrown into walls, shelves, and doors until she lands on the bed again. Lohan was frightened so she decided to go home when she flew into the air as well; he becomes possessed and throws Sheen into the camera and kills him. The text explains that Sheen's body was found on that day but he did not stop partying until a few days later, and that his three children were found missing, Lohan was arrested again, and a gift was given to the lost children.
A few months later, Ja'Marcus (Snoop Dogg) and D'Andre (Mac Miller) walked in the Humboldt County forest of California to search for marijuana plants to steal. After stealing one and fleeing, they take refuge in the cabin in the woods. Upon entering they saw three strange creatures, later confirmed to be Sheen's sons, and handed them over for a gift. Wild children are placed in isolation at a child development research center for several months until they are considered good enough to be returned to family custody. When Sheen's brother, Dan Sanders (Simon Rex) and his wife Jody (Ashley Tisdale) came to pick them up, they were told they could have them if they agreed to live in a suburban middle-class suburban house equipped with security cameras. Jody is reluctant to take the children at first but soon adjusts to having them. In an effort to bond with their new children, Jody auditioned for a ballet show, Swan Lake, and played a leading role as the Swan Queen.
Meanwhile, the strange pattern of paranormal activity in their new home makes them investigate further. They finally learn from the children that the attack on their house is with "Mama", the mother of the children, who is under a curse and is trying to get it back so she can sacrifice herself and the children. Maria, the couple's Hispanic maids, is frightened and continues to experiment with rituals, Catholics and others, to ward off evil spirits at home. During the day, Dan was frustrated by the simple progress of his test subjects at a primate intelligence research facility; Ironically, Dan is not smart enough to realize that one chimpanzee, Caesar, is now much smarter than he is.
Jody and Dan, with the help of Jody's close friend Kendra Brooks (Erica Ash), whom Jody met in her ballet class, had to find a way to lift the curse and save their family. Along the way, they seek the help of Blaine Fulda's psychic, who turns out to be complete cheating, and a dream extractor named Dom Kolb (Ben Cornish), who helps them understand that the solution to their problem lies in the mysterious Book of the devil. However, Jody and Kendra failed to see what the book could do, not realizing that the four friends were constantly being possessed and revived in the cabin. They wreak havoc when one of them reads two parts of this book; one that releases demons, "gort klaatu barada nikto", and the other that animates them from possession. When "Mama" takes the kids to the cliffs to sacrifice them, Jody fails to lift the curse with the book, but manages to hit the evil spirits into the pool of Ja'Marcus and D'Andre which contains live sharks, who then eat them..
Realizing the love for his adopted children is all he needs in life, Jody gives part of the Swan Queen to Kendra, who dances in the style of a stripper. The show was greatly welcomed by an audience that included Jody, Dan, the children, and Madea. The story narrator is revealed to be Caesar, who then tells the audience that humans should enjoy the time they have on earth and say that apes will one day take over the world.
In the post-credit scene, Sheen wakes up, with Dom Kolb sitting next to him, from the extraction of a dream, that is the whole movie is a dream. After Kolb informs that Sheen will sleep with Lohan, a car rammed into the room, killing Sheen. Lohan was declared a driver; he got out of the car, told Kolb "You're driving" and threw the keys at him, blaming the accident on him.

"At Metacritic, the film scored 11 out of 100, based on 16 reviews, showing" tremendous dislike ".
IGN gave this movie 1.0 out of 10. Stephanie Merry from The Washington Post gave the movie a zero star by saying, "This movie is so surprising that even the movie fans are laughing out loud through The Aristocrats will not feel anything but a deep emptiness when the final credit begins to roll, wondering if a strong joke is too much to ask from a movie that considers itself a comedy. "Kyle Smith of New York Post gave one movie star who said, "Get off at the bottom of the comedic barrel, where things like slimy gray algae live: That's where the script came from... If you have to go to Scary Movie 5, make sure to bring iPad with you so you can watch a better movie from him. "
Joe Neumaier of The New York Daily News gave a movie star who said, "Like most of these series - hatched in 2000 by the Wayans brothers and aired intermittently by Airplanes! veteran David Zucker, though newcomer Malcolm D. Lee takes over here - the mention of a familiar name or pop culture is supposed to be funny.Often not, and in fact the name-dropping and dirty-out constant tedious humor (in a movie that's at least 10 minutes too ) Luckily, people like Snoop and good sports like Sheen and, yes, Lohan, split the monotony, until, like the undead beastie, boredom and stupid jokes come back up.
Rafer Guzman of Newsday feels that "Even talented people - comedian Katt Williams as a psychic, high-energy actor Jerry O'Connell in the delivery of the book 'Fifty Colors' - chewed and vomited by antiaugh engines without stop this. Scary Movie 5 does not even have the imagination for precious dirty jokes.When the best you can offer is a funny toothbrush, it's time to pack it. "Darren Franich from Entertainment Weekly says "Beating the theater seven years after the last Scary Movie , the new film does not even show the refreshing presence of Anna Faris, which gives previously certain movies a spoofy gift. In its place is > High School Musical Ashley Tisdale refugee, his face frozen in a mild irritated eyeroll Who can blame him? The hopscotches between the riffs are too slow on Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Inception , Insidious , and Black Swan . At 86 minutes, this is almost as long as the Saturday Night Live episode, except with fewer laughs and worse storytellers. "Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter says" The desperation of the filmmakers "is proof of the fact that a good cut of time runs is devoted to faking Jessica Chastain's starrer recently Mama . While the movie is really a sleeping hit, it's hardly impressive enough to guarantee such sustained care, and indeed the comic rewards do not exist. "
