Sticking true to the series' plots, the Scooby Gang investigate bizarre occurrences and do a lot of running around. Scripted by James Gunn the film originally winked at the audience with plenty of adult-oriented jokes poking fun at the original series, Velma's questionable sexuality and marijuana jokes galore. However Warner Bros. quickly turned it into a family-oriented film in the laziest of fashion. While it does stick fairly true to the series in conventions, it simply isn't very good at all...but let's face it, kids, the series wasn't all that great to begin with. Matthew Lillard is left to carry the weight of the entire film as Shaggy and he does an absolutely wonderful job channelling the character's lovableness, expressions and heart.

*shudder* is right.
88 minutes long and it took 2 sittings to get through it. :laugh:
I'm pretty sure I've seen both, in full. Thankfully, I don't remember much outside of Shaggy and Scooby shenanigans and random thoughts about why SMG is so awful, here.
I think that means I came out ahead. Any points I'd award them come solely from Lillard, unsurprisingly.
