Parody-meister David Zucker's SCARY MOVIE 4, the latest installment in the popular horror-cum-humor series, finds hilariously clumsy heroine Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) assigned as full-time nurse to a mysterious old lady in a house haunted by the ghost of a small boy. In a takeoff of 2005's WAR OF THE WORLDS, next door lives Tom Ryan (Craig Bierko), a divorced dock worker somewhat in charge of his two kids, who is called into action as Alien TriPods (remove the "Tr" for a hint at the inspiration for their invention) seek to destroy Earth. The two meet and quickly fall in love. Together, the protagonists must save the planet from aliens and solve the mystery of the ghostly boy, along the way spoofing THE VILLAGE, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, MILLION DOLLAR BABY, SAW, and many other films. In SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS, Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton) runs a school at which luckless men are given a crash course in the ways of the alpha male. Dishing out trite but, to the men involved, revelatory advice about how to "initiate confrontation" and "lie, lie, and lie some more," Dr. P turns his students into virile studs who hide their still-lingering insecurities behind sunglasses and absurd bluster. When one student, the kindhearted but painfully awkward Roger (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE's Jon Heder), finds it too easy to capture the girl of his dreams, Dr. P's competitive streak goes off the charts and a battle between teacher and student results. After an exchange of several pranks, each with increased maliciousness and consequence, one of the two fellas lands the girl. [More]
