Critic Reviews

  • Anna Smith, Time Out

    Watch (sober) at your peril.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, Village Voice

    The jokes miss more than they hit, but there are a lot of them, and when they work, it's gold.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    Scary Movie 4 never takes you close to death by laughter, as the Naked Gun films did. But it's funny enough to turn the hands on your watch much more quickly than you can believe.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    The even numbers don't favor the Scary Movie franchise. Inspiration ran dry for the Wayans Brothers in No. 2; now successors David Zucker & Co suffer gag fatigue following up their moderately improving efforts on the third installment.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    Scary Movie 4 is the second to be directed by Airplane! and The Naked Gun's David Zucker and possibly the funniest one yet.

    The Scary Movie franchise, at this point is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel of ideas. This film is not funny whatsoever. I felt like this was a great waste of time. The film uses gross out humor that I found to be in very poor taste, along with popular culture references that… More

    Scary Movie 4 was a pathetic film. The storyline never matters in these movies, but this was not a good spoof, and mostly because they are just tryig too hard with this film, but I did have the occasional laugh. The cast is ok, Anna farris is really getting old by doing these… More

    SCARY MOVIE 4 was much funnier than the first three films. This was more often funny, and it experimented with all different comedic sub-genres rather than relying solely on dumb humor to draw mucho laughs. I love the second scene with Charlie Sheenâ??I shouldn't explain;… More

    Not the funniest but there was some quite funny scenes. Average. Not the best out of the sequels though. Most of them are sadly not very memorable despite the hilariousness of them.
