Spoof series torch-bearer and Airplane! mastermind David Zucker steps back into the captain's chair for yet another round of cinematic shenanigans in the latest installment of the Scary Movie franchise, this time mocking such frightful blockbusters as Saw, War of the Worlds, The Village, and The Grudge. An alien invasion threatens to wipe out the entire human race, but not if Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her nymphomaniac pal, Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), have any say in the matter. With the

The jokes miss more than they hit, but there are a lot of them, and when they work, it's gold.
Scary Movie 4 never takes you close to death by laughter, as the Naked Gun films did. But it's funny enough to turn the hands on your watch much more quickly than you can believe.
The even numbers don't favor the Scary Movie franchise. Inspiration ran dry for the Wayans Brothers in No. 2; now successors David Zucker & Co suffer gag fatigue following up their moderately improving efforts on the third installment.
Scary Movie 4 is the second to be directed by Airplane! and The Naked Gun's David Zucker and possibly the funniest one yet.
Scary Movie 4 isn't a comedy classic, but it's still about five times as funny as Scary Movie 3.
It's a far cry from the hilarious, edgy antics of Scary Movie, but it has about as much going for it as the first sequel.
By the time you get to see the fourth incarnation of any movie franchise, you should be pretty sure what you're in for %u2013 and this one is true to its brand. It's corny, mischievous and more than a tad tacky in places.
High production values and seemingly endless celebrity cameos only moderately elevate the scattershot satire of the Scary Movie franchise.
Despite an infusion of talent once associated with everything from Airplane to Hot Shots ... Scary Movie 4 feels ... far more tired and worn out that the films it spoofs ...
In a quarter of a century who's even going to remember that Tom Cruise went on Oprah's show and made an ass of himself?
A low-brow comedy chock full of cheap laughs.
There are some laughs in this latest installment.
Well, it's better than Scary Movie 3: Honey, I Sunk the Franchise.
A film with more chuckles then guffaws, hopefully the producers will settle on better movies to make fun of next time around.

The most laugh-out-loud funny film in the series.
...there's simply no denying that these movies (and parodies in general, it would seem) have long-since outlived their usefulness.
War of the Worlds is one of my favourite movies so I liked this one quite a lot. They did it in a really good way adding more jokes into it. The characters are a bit stale now though. The best scene had to be with the Japanese boy when they were talking in 'Japanese' using words like Nagasaki and Honda. As a film that

The Scary Movie franchise, at this point is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel of ideas. This film is not funny whatsoever. I felt like this was a great waste of time. The film uses gross out humor that I found to be in very poor taste, along with popular culture references that were supposed to be "funny", but
