At one point, the detectives believe that the monsters are created through the use of magic and spells, but the movie is unclear in the end about whether or not that is actually the case. There is also some rude humor, including some jokes about farting. The movie is light on objectionable content, although there are a number of moderately intense fight scenes and some scares for children. One character tells another: “Trust your heart, not the facts.” Also, while the movie was perfectly content to be vacuous entertainment for the first 60 minutes, it inserts a half-hearted positive message toward the end, “Be yourself.” That phrase is repeated several times and apparently supposed to be affirming for children, but really the advice is without meaning and only meant to resemble positive or redeeming content. When it veers into the characters’ motivations, however, it becomes troubling. Mostly the movie sticks to action and does not get too bogged down by plot machinations. Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and the rest have to face the scariest monsters yet to save the city and their own reputations. Coolsville, the town they have saved so many times before, turns against them because of a conniving news reporter played by Alicia Silverstone. In this sequel, the gang is being honored for their heroic achievements just as one of their old foes swoops onto the scene. Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Velma (Linda Cardellini) help him crack the cases while Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Scooby-Doo have fun and occasionally get into trouble. It follows the gang of detectives led by Fred (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) as they encounter mysterious, frightening monsters.
