SCARY
MOVIE
4
With
Anna
Faris,
Regina
Hall,
Bill
Pullman,
Craig
Bierko
Directed
by
David
Zucker
With
the
Zucker
contingent
(of
Top
Secret,
Airplane,
Hot
Shots
&
Naked
Gun
fame)
now
fully
in
charge
of
this
cheesy
franchise,
another
range
of
recent
horror
/
sci-fi
hits
get
ripped
to
shreds,
from
The
Grudge
and
Saw,
to
The
Village,
War
Of
The
Worlds
&
even
Million
Dollar
Baby
and
the
Oprah
show!
Our
hapless
heroine
from
the
previous
movies
again
find
herself
in
wacky,
rude
and
crude
predicaments
wrapped
around
parodies
of
key
scenes
from
the
abovementioned
movies,
the
focus
also
shifted
onto
the
new
guy
she
meets.
As
usual,
if
you
hadn’t
seen
the
original
movies,
you’ll
fall
way
short
of
appreciating
its
impact
and
(frequent)
hilarity.
Sure
it’s
silly,
but
it’s
not
exactly
gunning
for
awards
now
is
it?
Good
to
see
Bill
Pullman
(who
appeared
in
the
US
Grudge
remake)
popping
in
for
a
bit-part
laugh.
Cameo
turns
come
from
Charlie
Sheen
(who
was
in
the
previous
chapter),
Dr.
Phil
&
Shaquile
O’Neill
(whose
opening
Saw
bit
is
quite
a
hoot),
plus
Carmen
Electra
(with
extreme
toilet
humour
added).
But
the
biggest
and
most
riotous
final
blow
is
the
re-enactment
of
the
Tom
Cruise
/
Oprah
show
debacle,
making
it
all
worth
the
trouble!
