Oh my God......
I think these guys don't even try anymore to make not a funny one, but even watchable movie anymore....
There is no need of spoilers or taking even a deeper look at this ''movie''. There is no plot not script no acting, nothing really present that this would qualify this as an actual movie.
When i sat down to see this movie i knew about what i was going to see. A cheap laugh. But as i realized i noticed that a actually barely smiled during the movie. I spend most of my time looking at my watch wandering when the movie is going to end. Anyway...
One hint to the producers...
STOP MAKING THIS TRASH ANYMORE. I am not an American, but i would personally be very offended if this kind of movies are supposed to reflect the cultural level of young American people.

It has it's funny moments, but they are to few and far between
This is a good example of what happens when decent comic actors accept parts in a terrible movie vehicle. They probably need the work, so they do their best even if they can't hide that the movie stinks. For one, Kenan Thompson has a real comic flare, I only hope he gets better films to feature it in. And the other three leads showed comic potential too. I admit there were some genuinely funny moments that made me laugh, like the Karaoke scenes and some of the lines by the blond character (Desi Lydic). Unfortunately what comes between these few funny scenes, and makes up the majority of the film, was terrible. The over all film almost made me forget any of it had made me laugh. The bathroom humor, for instance, was just plain stupid.
And Leslie Neilson, what were you thinking doing this bomb? Hard to believe the same man who starred in classics like 'Forbidden Planet' has resorted to this for a pay check. He was funny in other comedy films, but why do this? My advice is to skip this one.

Silly but not all bad
Quite silly, but not as bad as it is made out to be. Horror movies deserve to be parodied and this does that fairly well at times and has some really funny moments. A lot of it is also quite lame though.
Cast includes Leslie Nielsen in one of his last roles. Diora Baird ensures that the movie has your attention and that it is reasonably entertaining in the end.
There are a lot worse ways to spend 90 minutes.

Leslie Nielsen in top form as others tries to follow his lead.
It is Halloween; this is the time one should be watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) or at worst Arsenic and Old Lace (1944). But no, you are about to choose "Stan Helsing" (2009).
Stan (Steve Howey) who is out to make a movie gets stranded in a sort of Halloween Twilight Zone. There they are confronted by all the biggest slashers of the time. Makes you want to up-Chucky unless you are a Freddy-defender. It can be mockingly funny.
You will need to be well versed in a plethora of movies to be aware of all the joke references. Some of the movies: Species: The Awakening (2007) Shutter (2008) King Kong (2005) The Notebook (2004) Freddy vs. Jason (2003) The Blair Witch Project (1999) The Sixth Sense (1999) Saving Private Ryan (1998) How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998) Titanic (1997) Stargate SG-1 (1997) Six Degrees of Separation (1993) Schindler's List (1993) The Hills Have Eyes (1977) The Last House on the Left (1972) The Munsters (1964) The Wolf Man (1941) Frankenstein (1931)
This is one of those movies that can go either way. I think that they tried too hard to be campy. Luckily Leslie Nielsen could pull off his character without breaking a sweat.

Stan Helsing gets an A
This movie is very funny! Mia is hilarious as the ditsy blonde, and her lines will make you laugh a lot. It is exactly as it describes itself: a parody, and this is one of the better ones. I recommend this to anyone who likes parodies, if you don't laugh at this, then you are seriously lacking in the humor department. Four stars! I've watched this movie several times, and laugh at each viewing. It's not for those who are seeking intelligent humor, it's geared to those who just like cheap laughs. The girls are definitely hot, and Mia changes costumes several times, each one will make any guy's libido stand at attention. After watching this on cable I purchased the DVD, and look forward to laughing again and again. My compliments to the chef who cooked up this winner.
