I've been meaning to rewatch 1, and maybe 2, at some point. They're on Max right now. Arthur is right - "3" is the worst of the lot. I didn't like it when I saw it in the theater. So I'm ambivalent - stuck between not wanting to rewatch it and wanting to rewatch it to see if it's as bad as I remember. I liked "4" quite a bit (it is chock full of hotties!!), even though it (co-)stars Emma Roberts. "5" and "6" are OK - frankly, Melissa Barrera is kind of weak as a lead. But they are propped up, esp. "6", by having Jenna Ortega.
