Leave your thoughts about Scary Movie 4.
| culturevulture.netPamela TroyIt's almost as though the filmmakers were trying to frustrate and annoy horror fans, and it's a hardy soul who will be willing to sit out the entire 123 minutes. |
| Dallas Morning NewsMatt WeitzLike the gags, many of the cameos don't pack a whole lot of punch, but enough succeed so that the viewer leaves with a mildly favorable impression. Regrettably, this is probably more a function of human psychology than moviemaking skill. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfNothing here is red carpet, admirable entertainment, but compared to last February's bottom-feeding knockoff, Date Movie, the self-assured Scary Movie 4 looks like The 400 Blows. |

| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanYou know exactly what you're going to get, and you get it. Is that so wrong? |

| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubAbout five times as funny as "Scary Movie 3." |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyHigh production values and seemingly endless celebrity cameos only moderately elevate the scattershot satire of the Scary Movie franchise. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldMuch of the humor feels tired and unfunny, and David Zucker's directing sags where it should zing. |
