Scary Movie 4 is a 2006 comedy horror film directed by David Zucker, the man behind Airplane, and starring Anna Faris, Regina Hall, and Craig Bierko. The movie is the fourth installment in the Scary Movie franchise, and it manages to provide another batch of pop culture references, parodies, and gags, all wrapped up in a spooky package. The film is a hilarious take on horror movies that primarily focuses on spoofing movies like Saw, War of the Worlds, The Grudge, and The Village.

The movie begins with a spoof scene of War of the Worlds, where Tom Logan (Charlie Sheen) and his three children witness aliens invading Earth. The aliens start zapping people left and right, with Tom's ex-wife, Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), getting beamed up by the alien ship accidentally. Meanwhile, Cindy's reporter neighbour, Tom Ryan (Craig Bierko), suspects that something fishy is going on and decides to investigate. Tom's investigation leads him to President Baxter Harris (Leslie Nielsen), who is battling an alien invasion himself.

The film is filled with pop culture references and parodies. For example, it parodies the famous "Let's Twist Again" dance scene from Pulp Fiction in a way that'll make you laugh out loud. There's also a hilarious spoof of the movie Saw, where Cindy and her friend Brenda (Regina Hall) wake up in a room filled with terrifying death traps, all while Jigsaw (Chris Elliott) watches over them.

Scary Movie 4 is a non-stop comedy rollercoaster that has the perfect balance of humor and horror. The jokes are hit and miss, but for the most part, the movie delivers the goods. The humor works in tandem with the horror elements, and although they are extreme and exaggerated, they still hit the mark. The filmmakers use satire and parody to expose the cliches and conventions of the horror genre, and the end result is a hilarious movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The movie's main strength is Anna Faris. She has a natural talent for comedy, and her performance as Cindy Campbell is fantastic. Along with Regina Hall, who plays Brenda, Faris delivers some of the funniest lines and moments in the film. The two have excellent chemistry and elevate the movie with their comic timing.

Craig Bierko, who plays Tom Ryan, also does an excellent job. He's the perfect straight man for the jokes of the movie, and his deadpan delivery creates some of the funniest moments in the film. Leslie Nielsen, who plays President Baxter Harris, is another highlight. He's hilarious, and his absurdity provides some much-needed comic relief in the movie.

The special effects and makeup are also excellent. The alien invasion scenes are spectacular, and the monsters are believable enough to be scary while also appearing hilarious in the context of the movie. The gore and violence are over the top, and they provide another layer of humor to the film.

However, the movie has its share of flaws. The plot is thin, and the characters are underdeveloped. While the movie doesn't take itself seriously, it still needs a story to tie the jokes and gags together. The ending is also weak, and it feels rushed and unsatisfying. Regardless, the movie is a fun time, and if you're looking for a good laugh, Scary Movie 4 delivers.

In conclusion, Scary Movie 4 is a funny and entertaining movie that spoofs horror movies and popular culture with its unique humor. Despite its flaws, the film is a great example of how to blend horror and comedy, and it provides plenty of laughs throughout its runtime. Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Craig Bierko, and Leslie Nielsen are all fantastic in their roles, and the special effects and makeup are impressive. If you're a fan of horror movies and parody films, Scary Movie 4 is a must-watch.

Scary Movie 4 is a 2006 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 23 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1 and a MetaScore of 40.
