Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

How sad is this?

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Liked this one most out of the 4! 5 when it comes out on the 12th of April!Liked how it parodied one of my favourite franchises, Saw! When Dr. Phil sawed the wrong foot off at the beginning! Along with a few laughs here & there it was a pretty good film! Not to mention the ending of Saw when the puppet's fighting each other & Brenda giving birth to Billy the Saw puppet!The final scene when Tom goes mental & starts laughing & jumping around screaming & shouting, bawling at the top of his voice! Eating the couch & going off his nut! Which was bloody funny!! Overall, a great addition which I thought was the best! Can't wait for Scary Movie 5 on Friday! 10/10

I don't know why I bothered watching this, because I knew I wouldn't like it. I didn't like any of the previous movies, but because I've seen all the kinds of films being spoofed, I kind of ended up watching it anyway. Sadly, SCARY MOVIE 4 only raised a few chuckles during its running time, although it's still a slight improvement over the exceptionally stupid first and second films in this series.There aren't so many films being spoofed this time around; the format instead picks about four or five major ones and kind of links them all together with a would-be storyline. So we get an opening sequence based on SAW (the best bit, actually), then follow-ups involving spins on THE GRUDGE (which I found a bit racist), THE VILLAGE, and WAR OF THE WORLDS.Sadly, the terrible Anna Faris is STILL finding work (and as awful as ever, dragging every moment she appears in down), but some of the supporting actors fare better. It's particularly fine to see Leslie Nielsen, still on top form playing the US president and providing most of the (few) laughs along the way.

I had never seen a "Scary Movie" before this, so the laughs were a delight. I have to say, however, that the antics and fate of Charlie Sheen were absolutely prophetic. Perhaps he should consider re-watching!The use of rap artists as characters was brilliant, both in direct participation and self parody.And the exhaled goose feather. (Sighs.) Leslie Neilsen was brilliant and is sorely missed.The special effects were also enjoyable, and were something of a poke in the eye to the millions spent on high budget sci-fi.

When I reviewed Scary Movie 3, I gave it a slightly-higher-than-it-really-deserved rating of 2/10, thereby allowing myself room to give Scary Movie 4 an ever lower score should it somehow be worse; it was a close thing, but part 4 just about saved itself from that particular embarrassment in its closing minutes with a wicked scene at the expense of Tom Cruise that actually made me laugh (better late than never, I suppose).Directed by David Zucker, who also made the dreadful part 3, Scary Movie 4 is another grab-bag of dumb jokes that spoof the horror (and the occasional non-horror) blockbusters of the day, targets this time around including The Grudge, Saw, The Village and War of the Worlds. Once again, the humour is of the most obvious and basic kind; once again, the late and once-great Leslie Nielsen unwisely puts in an appearance, even going so far as to strip off and reveal his saggy, naked frame in the name of comedy (and for a paycheck, of course); and once again, the once lovely Anna Faris takes another step towards complete bimbo-dom, this time sporting a splendid trout pout to go with her now golden mane.
