People are voting emotionally.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Having exorcised the demons of his ex, Malcolm is starting fresh with his new girlfriend and her two children. After moving into their dream home, however, Malcolm is once again plagued by bizarre paranormal events. Somehow the first 'A Haunted House' was so good that they chose to make a sequel? Seriously? And this time they chose to rip-off 'The Conjuring' as you can obviously tell from the poster but unlike the Scary Movie Series this dumb as hell franchise does it so poorly that makes Scary Movie 5 look like The Godfather Part II in a way. (0/10)

A haunted house 2 was one of the funniest movies I have had the pleasure of seeing, Marlon Wayans is really bringing us what Hollywood sometimes forget all about, and that's comedy.I really do not see as to why some people are trying to give this funny comedy movie a bad rep, but are praising stupid comedy films such as 21 Jump Street, and 22 Jump Street, come on 22 Jump Street? Movie-goers need to start realizing that if you stop supporting comedy for the art of comedy, and only support it because of a certain star (Channing Tatum in this case), then great comedies like a haunted house 2 will soon fade away, and we will all be left with movies like The Five-Year Engagement.In all honesty, who wants to keep watching remakes of the same old cliché films each and every year, it's literally like living in the twilight zone.It's good to see movies like HH2 going the distance, thinking outside of the box, and not playing always playing it safe, and stepping out of a comfort zone that everyone is so used to.I voted this film 10 out of 10 because 1) it's more than deserving of it, 2) it completed its mission, and that was to make me laugh, and I did. 3) If this movie (HH2) can deliver laughs like this not even half of the Hollywood budget, I can only imagine what HH3 will be like if an even bigger budget was involved.There is never a dull moment in this movie, HH2 keeps the momentum going by keeping viewers laughing, and on the edge of their seats, literally at all times.I of course have attended both HH1 and HH2 theater screenings, and I have also purchased HH1 and HH2 on DVD, so that's saying a lot about just how great this sequel, and the first release are.So in closing, I will say this folks, if you are into comedy because you love yourself some comedy, then this is the movie for you, but if you are the type of person that is a fan junkie, and you only watch movies because your favorite stars are in them, then don't be surprised when the film that star is in isn't at all funny, just pick yourself back up and search for a haunted house, and a haunted house 2 on Amazon.com, download or have it shipped to you, and laugh your butt off.

The movie is the sequel of the last year's well known horror film parody by Marlon Wayans. It could have been guessed easily, because if we were talking about „scary movies", than the name of the Wayans brothers come into everybody's mind immediately. For me they form a duo, only whose face is enough to being seen on a movie poster to get myself excited about the actual production. It was also the same situation with this movie, but the final result has ended up with a medley packed with hard mix of emotions.Marlnon Wayans is still hilarious for me, and I think it will never change. Overall I consider the movie a really good entertainment, however the notorious comic actor has some really weird moments when he successfully managed to not poorly exaggerate and overdo his role. Sometimes when something was humorous at the beginning turned out to be a vigorous effort by the end, which is often delayed in time. So it felt to me sometimes, that it's primary purpose was to lengthen the runtime of the movie. So occasionally we can laugh on some scenes at the beginning, but after a short time that smile starts to get faded away, even though the scene continues which was intended to be funny.The casting crew has changed a little bit. For example Wayans has an other girlfriend who is just as annoying on the big screen (and untalented) than the previous one. However, she's a perfect choice for an aesthetic element (most likely it was the goal of her role). The children do not appear on the screen so often, which made me really happy initially, because personally speaking I'm not really keen for the young actors. Buti n this movie, when the young boy was just about showing up for a minute and saying a short monologue, a loud laughter erupted from me. I really rarely say that to a child actor, but I think he did a remarkable job!In addition, the range of characters extended with a Mexican-style amigo (who plays Wayans neighbor by the way). He's become my favorite after his first appearance on the screen. I was infatuated with listening to his non-sense spiels, and I've just loved him creating more and more amusing sentences within fractions of a second.Otherwise the funny scenes of the movie were very similar to what we could experience in its predecessor, so if you liked the first one you'd probably like this one about the same. I think they overdid the sex-related gags a little bit. 2 or 3 are even funny, the 5th is not so, but after the tenth the production is about getting really dull and monotonous. However, the film is not too long, so it doesn't leave us enough time to get bored.Overall, the movie is not worthy for the standard created by the classic „Scary Movie", but I consider it a perfect evening entertainment, if you simply wanna have fun.Rating 5/10Thanks for spending your precious free time with reading my review! Hope you liked it!

I didn't really like the Scary Movie series so I was pleasantly surprised by the similar (but funnier) A Haunted House. Still, I wasn't looking forward to this sequel since comedy sequels almost always suck. Sadly, this one does suck for the most part. Marlon Wayans tries so so hard and carries the movie on his back 95% of the time. His shtick is constant and, because of this, I grew tired of him very quickly. By the half-hour mark I was ready to throw in the towel. But I stuck with it and it does get better in the last twenty minutes or so. Cedric the Entertainer, Missi Pyle, Hayes MacArthur, and Kym Whitley are all more amusing than the movie deserves. Jaime Pressly is terrible. Gabriel Iglesias is one tired Mexican joke after another. The humor is over the top and often gross. It sets out to top the first movie in crudeness. Why this was the goal is beyond me but I was worried it would be. The Wayans family seem to believe that comedy gets funnier as it gets nastier, which is why the vast majority of their work is bottom-of-the-barrel garbage. See it if you like your humor as lowbrow as it can possibly get.
