Spoof movie with a myriad of unimaginative gags. This fourth chapter deals with Cindy (Anna Faris) who 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. Meantime, Aliens are invading the world and she has to uncover the secret in order to stop them and with the intervention of the stupidest President (Leslie Nielsen).
Cindy is back ,this time to save America from a plot Alien invasion for world domination and she thwarts their plans and saves the kid from a ghostly creature. Stars Anna Faris as Cindy and Regina Hall as Brenda who are the only people to show up in the first four Scary Movie films. From start to finish the humor and the laughters are uncountable. Lots of gags , sex jokes and innumerable sketches, some of them funny but movie lacks the freshness of previous installments. Director David Zucker go for quantity of jokes and targets and quality definitely suffers for it. This is a hilarious parody, surrealist, extreme spoof and gross out though less than its predecessors but is also intelligent and bold at times. It is really just an excuse for filmmaker David Zucker to parody a whole new batch of films and to do a lot of sex jokes and ugly scenes. As always the cinematic spoofs are numerous and provide silly laughs, the amusement is guessing which films are parodied; they result to be the following : ¨Saw¨and specially ¨War of the worlds¨, but also ¨The Grudge¨, and ¨The Village¨. Criticizing several films but expanding his scope of action from his acidic proposal to other stories, such as ¨Million Dollar Baby¨ or ¨Brokeback Mountain¨, ¨Unbreakable¨, ¨Walking Dead¨, including an ironic gag of Michael Jackson, and with the worst nude President, deadpan Leslie Nielsen parodying George Bush Jr. The picture contains loads of fun here and there and a passel of appearances and cameos, such as: Bill Pullman, Kevin Hart, Anthony Anderson, Leslie Nielsen, Molly Shannon, Michael Madsen, Chris Elliott, Carmen Electra, Cloris Leachman, basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, among others.
David Zucker, is the main creator of the cinematic subgenre of 'Spoof Movie' : parodies in which grotesque references to various successful films are mixed. David is back behind the camera of the 'Scary Movie' saga, as he already did in the first installment. The frenetic succession of jokes especially hits Tom Cruise because of his strident laughter, his proselytizing of Scientology Church and his relationship with Katie Holmes. The movie was mediocrely directed by David Zucker, he along with his brother Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams are famous American satirists (ZAZ), they are directors and writers with successful works and long time collaborators, making their own comedy troupe (The Kentucky Fried). If you are looking for well-done spoofery, sees ¨Airplane¨ and ¨I'm gonna git you sucka¨ and leave this one to the discount previously viewed bin. Rating: 4.5/10. The motion picture will appeal to lunatic humor and absurd comedy enthusiasts.
