Although I grew up in the 1980s (born in October 1982--I'm almost 20) and my generation loved the "Scooby Doo" cartoons of te 1960s and 70s, I was never completely into them, it was more of my brother's bag than mine. But this movie broke all my misconceptions of America's favorite animated canine. What actually was just an attempt for me to stare at the gorgeous Freddie Prinze Jr. turned out to be a worthwhile watch.
When mysterious happenings begin occuring at Scary Island, its up to the defunct Mystery Inc. to solve the case.
After Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lilard) and Velma (Linda Cardelini) go their own ways, and wind up reuniting in the airport, the team decides to go together to solve the case, which involves zombie-like teenagers at the unusual resort of Scary Island. What is actually happening is that the teen's souls are being removed from their bodies and aliens are taking control of them, using the bodies to withstand sunlight. Shaggy and Scooby must save the day when Fred, Velma, and Daphne have their soles stolen. It's not gonna be easy, but Mystery Inc. can do anything.
I assumed this would be as annoying and trippy as the original cartoon, but it was actually hysterical. I always thought of myself as kinda like Daphne, but I realized how stupid she really was. Now, I kind of relate to Velma, whose smart but cool at the same time. The actors were SO good in their parts, and I loved Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred. He was so gorgeous!!!!!!! Sarah Michelle Gellar really played Daphne like an airhead, Matthew Lillard was TOO GOOD as Shaggy (Even sounded like him!!!), and Linda Cardelini resembled Velma, even though I hardly know who she is.
My absolute favorite parts were the part in the airport, the flashback scene where Scrappy Doo pees on Daphne, and the part where the gang keeps accidentally switching bodies over the cool artifact. Shaggy kept checking out Velma's body. Yikes. LOL!!!
I highly recommend giving this movie a chance, because it is really funny. A bit silly at times, but still very funny. The actors are great, and the ending is very funny.
So go ahead, pile your hands up, raise em high in the air, and scream "Woo-hoo!" Definitely see this, you will not regret it!!!
