Reviews
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
OllieSuave-007 Another entry in the Scary Movie series has Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris)finding out that the house she lives in is haunted by a little boy, and attempts to find out the truth behind his death. Meanwhile, aliens invade the Earth and threatens to destroy mankind.Spoofing a host of movies like Saw, War of the Worlds, Million Dollar Bay and The Grudge, this movie has a lot of gags, but I just didn't find them funny. The acting was pretty lame, especially Craig Bierko's melodramatic, overzealous and annoying character. It seemed the movie tried to get by in being funny with overly used crude and sexual humor. The only bright side of the film was the appearances of Shaquille O'Neal and Dr. Phil in the "Saw" spoof. Other than that, the rest of them movie was below average; the story didn't flow like Scary Movie 3, just meshed in pieces.Grade D-
kosmasp If you spoof movies, that weren't any good in the first place, you might have a problem. And that is one of the many issues this movie has here. While we won't get any "Airplane!" anytime soon, it's not wrong to assume that a movie connected to the Zucker name (and with Mr. Nielsen in it too) has some expectations attached to it.Almost none of them are met, and while it doesn't really commit the crime of trying to be funny, when it doesn't have to be (scenes that being played straight work better most of the time, if not always), the scenes it does deliver miss the mark. There might be a few silly and also nice scenes in between, but you really have to look hard for them. I wouldn't recommend watching this, as I wouldn't recommend you watching "The Village" either
Leofwine_draca 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.
Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) I liked all three of the Scary Movies. This one isn't as bad as some have said, but it's my opinion the weakest of the series. The story's thin and predictable and has some inane Dialogue. The characters are a mixed bag. Anna Faris did great as ever with her comic timing and Anthony Anderson did a decent job here, but the rest of the characters just fell flat. Some of the spoofs, including the Brokeback Snake Mountain, were forced and lack some wit, but the only spoofs that I liked the most were the Village, Saw, and War of the Worlds parodies and I've found them to be very clever despite it's rushed pacing. The music, although generic, is OK, but nothing special. At least it has some nice cinematography and some perfect visuals.Overall, not terrible, but still the weakest of the series. There's a fifth Scary Movie coming next year and I hope it will improve next time.
