Movie Info
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

Watch (sober) at your peril.
Top CriticThe 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.
Much of the humor feels tired and unfunny, and David Zucker's directing sags where it should zing.
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.
A lazy little product of mediocrity that will be woefully outdated in the next year...
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.
full review in Greek
...there's simply no denying that these movies (and parodies in general, it would seem) have long-since outlived their usefulness.
Has the fourth of any film series ever worked? This does! It's a franchise that could keep on scaring up the spoofs and mixed metaphors till the cows come home to roost.
The 4th pile of CRAP
It hits a few broad targets and misses many more, leaving the door open to continue the series indefinitely.
There is a certain slapdash energy and heedless silliness to the proceedings that is somewhat engaging, certainly more so than the hateful likes of Date Movie.
Nada mais é do que uma colagem de referências que se julga inteligente apenas por ser capaz de recriar cenas conhecidas de outras produções.
The humor is supposed to come from the recognition that another movie or entertainment world incident from the pages of Us Weekly is having fun poked at it.
This franchise will never make the history books, but, you know, if they have to keep coming, this is probably the best of the lot, with more laughs than you might expect.
...most of it was unfunny...
Scary Movie 4 is so lazy it's downright boring, something not even a naked Leslie Nielsen (!) can salvage.
