About Scary Movie 4

Some comedy is like a scalpel; the Scary Movie series is a hand grenade, spewing bodily fluids and big-breasted women in all directions as they lampoon the latest horror. In Scary Movie 4's case, the main targets are War of the Worlds, The Village, The Grudge, Saw, and Tom Cruise jumping all over Oprah's couch (the scariest of the lot). Along the way, potshots get taken at non-horror fare like Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby, as well as obvious targets like Michael Jackson and George W. Bush, among others. Anna Faris (Lost in Translation) and Regina Hall (The Honeymooners) return as the central characters wandering through a crazy quilt of horror scenarios, joined by Craig Bierko (Cinderella Man) doing a dead-on parody of Cruise at his most manic. Cameos include everyone from Charlie Sheen to Shaquille O'Neal to Carmen Electra. Some of it's funny, some of it's not, but there's a generally buoyant zaniness that comes from director David Zucker, one of the creators of Airplane!, which started the whole firehose-of-jokes aesthetic. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

I LOVED Scary Movie 1, 2 and 3. So I was really excited about Scary Movie 4. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! I was amazed at how unfunny it was. The jokes were just lame. It was like they were trying to do the same formula, but it just wasn't working. I asked someone about it afterwards, and he said Scary Movie 4 had different writers from the first three movies. No wonder. I laughed maybe 2-3 times. What a crummy addition to a great franchise. They should have stopped it at three. Instead, everyone wanted to cash in on a 4th movie and it just plain SUCKED. Very sad - as I still keep Scary Movie 1-3 in my DVD collection and enjoy them. But I wouldn't keep Scary Movie 4 if you gave it to me. March 27, 2008

The movie is Scary Movie 4.
This movie makes fun of other movies such as war of the worlds, Saw, Ring. This movie is funny too. It has charaters such as Dr. Phil, Ann Faris, Shaq and Regina Hall in the movie. The story line in this movie does not stay the same it is changing constantly. MICHAEL S December 6, 2007

It's almost disturbing that this movie looks as good as it does on HD DVD. It's one of the best looking movies in my collection.

The movie itself is silly, stupid, funny, and a great pick me up for a gloomy day. Exactly as it should be. November 26, 2007
