Movie Review - Scary Movie 4 - Ridiculous

Scary Movie 4

Cindy finds out the house she lives in is haunted by a little boy and goes on a quest to find out who killed him and why. Also, Alien "Tr-iPods" are invading the world and she has to uncover the secret in order to stop them.

Wacky crazy film, just like the other 3...Scary Movie 2 was a pile of poop though, I have to say that, the others were pretty entertaining.

It's doing ok on IMDB with a 5.2, not bad for this kind of film.

The main spoofs are War of the Worlds, The Village, Saw, Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby.

I haven't seen The Village, so I couldn't follow those parts so well, but the rest were bang on and Leslie Neilsen as the president of the US was great.

There were also amusing cameos from Dr Phil, Shaquil O'Neil and Chingy.

Anna Faris as Cindy was great in her own bimboish way, she's been in every Scary Movie since the start, so she's an old hand at it now.

Anna Faris

Carmen Electra showed up looking amazingly attractive as usual too.

There were plenty of stupid jokes and slaspstick humour as expected, the line of the film for me was:

Tom Ryan: [after hitting Cindy with a baseball] Oh, hey, I'm sorry!
Cindy Campbell: Oh, it's okay. I've taken balls to the face before.

Scary Movie 5 is rumoured for 2008, I guess I'll be watching that one too.

If you like this kind of movie, it's definately worth watching.

I'd give it a lame but funny 6/10.
