Reviews
Scary Movie 4 is a fun time out at the pictures, but the genre has become so unnecessarily vicious over the last few years, and has lost its way so desperately, that you end up feeling rather guilty for laughing at it.
The law of diminishing returns is in full effect here -- there are a couple of inspired gags but most fall embarrassingly flat.
Worse than Scary Movies 1 through 3… And they were terrible.
By keeping the parody and humour so tightly focussed, they've generated more laughter than any other filmmaker this year.
In a quarter of a century who's even going to remember that Tom Cruise went on Oprah's show and made an ass of himself?
Well, it's better than Scary Movie 3: Honey, I Sunk the Franchise.
A film with more chuckles then guffaws, hopefully the producers will settle on better movies to make fun of next time around.
...there's simply no denying that these movies (and parodies in general, it would seem) have long-since outlived their usefulness.
Has the fourth of any film series ever worked? This does! It's a franchise that could keep on scaring up the spoofs and mixed metaphors till the cows come home to roost.
It hits a few broad targets and misses many more, leaving the door open to continue the series indefinitely.
There is a certain slapdash energy and heedless silliness to the proceedings that is somewhat engaging, certainly more so than the hateful likes of Date Movie.
Nada mais é do que uma colagem de referências que se julga inteligente apenas por ser capaz de recriar cenas conhecidas de outras produções.
The humor is supposed to come from the recognition that another movie or entertainment world incident from the pages of Us Weekly is having fun poked at it.
