I know it is the 4th installment in the series. And I know the first 3 were not very good either but this one was bad, really bad. So bad I fast forwarded a few scenes. Take key scenes from Saw, War of the Worlds, The Village, The Grudge, Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby. Add juvenile bathroom humor (is that redundant?) and you have Scary Movie 4. That seems to be the formula for the entire series so I was not surprised, but Anna Faris usually saves the movies. This time not even the hilarious comedienne can make this worth a watch. I have seen this series being compared to Airplane and Naked Gun - it is NOTHING like them! Those were parodies but original in their own way. Sure they took elements from other movies but they did not "sample" (to use a music term) from those films. I love horror movies and love spoofs but this one is a dud. Go watch Scream, Young Frankenstein or the ultimate slasher spoof - Student Bodies.Read full review
Meh... Scary Movie 4 is My Least Favorite of the 4 films After Scary Movie 3 I didn't expect much from this film, and I'm sorry to say that not only did the movie not meet my expectations, it fell pretty far below them. Scary Movie 4 had some funny scenes, like the Saw Puppet on the Tricycle, the Detroit Before/After scene, or the Opera scene, but overall it just drags on and on. I was very dissapointed with this movie in all aspects. Final Verdict: 2/5 Rent or Buy?: Worth a Rental, but definitely nothing more. I'd actually give my copy away after buying the box set, but that's just my opinion. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
I love a good spoof and thoroughly enjoyed Scary Movie and Scary Movie 3. One thing that USUALLY makes this series of movies so good is that many of the same characters keep making repeat appearances- even if they have "died" in a previous movie. But for me this 4th Scary Movie was just not as funny. Maybe it's getting old... At any rate, I didn't find the "borrowed" scenes from horror films (including, The Grudge, War of the Worlds and The Village) to be very well done this time and the storyline was not as good as in previous movies- it seemed more like a bunch of individual scenes squashed together rather than a coherent story. I also found much of the humor to be raw and even more juvenile than usual (more along the lines of Scary Movie 2)- like the overabundance of bathroom type humor that is carried WAY too far.Read full review

This is not a movie that would make you laugh out loud, but it is entertaining. It follows the Airplan type humor formula. I enjoy it, but realize that if you do not like this type of humor then it would not be for you. Dr. Phil's cameo surprised me because he is pretty harsh on himself and his guests in a very entertaining way. I have a new respect for him after seeing his small role in Scary Movie 4. The bonus features on the DVD are as good, if not better than the movie itself. All in all, it is definately worth renting.
