The last of the series (that's right I hardly count the fifth entry as part of the series) is still very funny and while the first and third are just that little bit better it still triumphs over the second. War of the Worlds and The GrudgeThe last of the series (that's right I hardly count the fifth entry as part of the series) is still very funny and while the first and third are just that little bit better it still triumphs over the second. War of the Worlds and The Grudge are the main parodies here along with some other pop culture references. Cindy and Brenda are of course back again joined this time by Tom replacing George. Overall a good way to end what was a great series before that fifth one came along and screwed it up!… Expand

This is the fourth film in the "Scary Movie" franchise ... and this time, Cindy is going to get a new job as a health care provider and face an alien invasion. Of course, the film is full of satirical situations and parodies of notable filmsThis is the fourth film in the "Scary Movie" franchise ... and this time, Cindy is going to get a new job as a health care provider and face an alien invasion. Of course, the film is full of satirical situations and parodies of notable films like "Grudge", "War of the Worlds", "The Village" and "Saw". That is, this film repeats the same formula that we already know. Despite this, it far exceeded my expectations. I felt that the jokes are much better and funnier than those of previous films, including the first one. The sexual load is still present, but it has been reduced and the dialogues are the best so far. Honestly, for me, this was the movie that I liked the most in the franchise, so far.

There is no doubt at this point that the best thing that could have happened to the "Scary Movie" franchise was the change of director and screenwriter and the arrival of David Zucker. In the first two films, the Wayans clan dominated actors, director and screenwriters. In the third film, Zucker already takes the direction but accepts a script from the Wayans. Here, he had more control over what he wanted to do, assuming direction and script, which was undoubtedly an improvement.

The film again features Anna Faris and Regina Hal in their usual characters. This time, I liked their work more. Hall's character, whom the previous films had made into a nymphomaniac, was much better developed here and the two actresses seem to have received better material to work with, obtaining better results from their efforts. I also enjoyed watching Leslie Nielsen, with a series of jokes and situations so anecdotical that it is impossible not to laugh. Honestly, I can understand why Nielsen has collaborated so actively with Zucker in other films: he knows how to get the best out of Nielsen, much to the public's delight. Alonso Boden is very good and Carmen Electra, Michael Madsen and Charlie Sheen do a satisfactory job. The cast, in general, did quite well. The opening sequence, with Phil McGraw and Shaquille O'Neal, is memorable.

Technically, the film is quite interesting. There are good special effects and CGI and the sets and costumes also play their part very well. It is a longer film than the others, with about 90 minutes, within the average of a feature film. It has a good pace, it doesn't waste time, the jokes follow one another quickly and don't let the audience stop laughing.… Expand

Decent

Though still inferior to the original, Scary Movie 4 is still tons of fun to watch.

Not Scary Movie 4. This is the kinda movie that throws everything, including (quite literally) the toilet seat, at the target in hope that some will stick. And I guess a lot do. This was a lot like Date Movie for obvious reasons, though a big difference is David Zucker is involved, and like Airplane there are a few very funny and truly witty pieces of dialogue, though here it is quite a bit scarcer. The potty humor is really awful, but a surprising amount of the gags are so silly or done in a way that it's hard not to laugh. I actually felt that Date Movie for the most part had more gags per minute. If you liked any of the movies that are spoofed here, especially War of the Worlds, I think it's worth going to if you go in with the right mind set.… Expand

It was good. It had it's moments, but got a little slow near the end. It spoofed the movies well, but had a lot of missed opportunities to. More slapstick than clever. So go if you want to dumb yourself down a bit.

It is a very funny movie. The movie tries to relate to the third one. It is not the best scary movie yet.

Guys- this series has always been about gross-out humor and shock value. It has never been a deep, mature series. I don't know where some of you are getting that from. Scary Movie 4 is just as dumb as the past Scary Movie's. And that's a good thing. It's overall a really funny movie. Loaded with more jokes than SM3, it's just a hilarious film. Overall, I found Scary Movie 3 to be a bit better (just better story,) but Scary Movie 4's funnier. Again, though, these movies aren't rocket science. They're dumb, they know they're dumb, and they're funny.… Expand

It still has the stupidity as the others, and the same crude jokes (some suck but that kinda makes it funnier). It was way too short though. if it were longer it would = best in series! 9/10

This was humorous and yet too goofy. I would say that this isn't one of the best Scary Movies I've seen, but I like this film. Some disturbing moments, but hilarious dialogue.
