A stupid movie which is only mildly amusing, and only mildly amusing every 10 minutes. Leslie Nielsen has less screen time to Scary Movie 3 which is always a bad sign.

Unfortunately, this installment is simply less funny than all the other films.

David Zucker's second stab at a Scary Movie is about as hit-and-miss as his first attempt. Leslie Nielsen is still great (when was he not?), and his not too subtle moronic presidential parody of George W. Bush has to deal with various threatsDavid Zucker's second stab at a Scary Movie is about as hit-and-miss as his first attempt. Leslie Nielsen is still great (when was he not?), and his not too subtle moronic presidential parody of George W. Bush has to deal with various threats to the planet from various Hollywood genres, with help from returning haphazard heroine Cindy (Anna Farris) and Craig Bierko, who's playing Tom Cruise from Spielberg's War of the Worlds. Easily the funniest scene in the film is the prologue, which finds Dr Phil and Shaquille O'Neal imprisoned in the infamous Saw bathroom. All the J-Horror spoofs (dominated by The Grudge) are also executed pretty well, but like always with this series, when the humour becomes lazily crude and body function-obsessed, the film achieves more in terms of sheer annoyance than anything that actually makes you laugh. I'm not saying Zucker is a dignified comedy genius lowering himself to depravity for the first time - Airplane and Naked gun were often very juvenile, but this kind of humour was well-timed and balanced with different kinds of jokes. When a film only uses gross-out comedy to promote childish snickers, then it comes across as incredibly shallow and unmemorable. Thankfully, Scary Movie 4, like its predecessor, has a couple of memorable and funny sequences, but the big laughs are few and far between.… Expand

You are beginning to see this is starting to get old with its recycled jokes. Scary Movie 4 has its moments but also carries a laziness that doesn't make it has funny as its predecessors.

While this installment follows an actual story, it doesn't deliver as much on the raunchy funny scenes. The series is loosing steam. It becomes more difficult to realize whether you are laughing at the jokes or the movie itself.

One of the stupidest movies I've ever watched. It's still enjoyable in a so-bad-it's-funny sorta way. Lots of jokes are funny because they aren't funny, but some of them can hit a bullseye(the Detroit & heart attack jokes are some examples).One of the stupidest movies I've ever watched.

There's some gross-out humor which I'm not a fan of, but it's definitely the best possible sequel to the first Scary Movie. Certainly better than Scary Movie 2...… Expand

BAD
The first and the third one in the series are two of my all time guilty pleasures.
This one I think is just bad. But I still think it's better than the 2nd and the 5th one.

It is hit and miss in a pureThe Scary Movie formula had not aged well when this movie came out. However there are great jokes and good humour in this movie while I must admit at the same time that half of the jokes did not work that well. It is hit and miss in a pure form. The cameos are dividing the viewers. Some enjoy them and others say the movie is overstuffed with them. The foundation for this movie are War of the Worlds and The Grudge with many side-blows to other movies like Saw, Million Dollar Baby, The Village and others. I am also divide by this movie. I see the potential for a far better movie that is hold back by poor jokes and to much content. Maybe they should have made less references and stick more to fewer but better developed humour. It is hard to describe what makes classics like Spaceballs and the Naked gun work. For me it is the structure, developing ideas and the seriousness in giving us hilarious spoofs, jokes and parodies. This movie hits the marks not often enough while missing many by far. The acting is what you expected from this sort of movies. It is a vehicle for the humour. Overall not worth seeing as a whole movie with a few notable exception as some scenes and jokes are great.… Expand

Bastante regular, pero lejos mejor que las dos primeras películas, un poco forzada y bastante apagada si de humor se trata.

I don't find Scary Movie 4 as good as the first 3 films, but it's way better than Scary Movie 5. The whole movie is decent and funny, but I couldn't enjoy it like the other 3 good movies.
