  • Movie I've seen recently...

     Scary Movie 4 (2006) C-

    For as long as this franchise is out, and no matter how bad it gets, for some reason I still seem to end up watching these films. Scary Movie 4 is not exactly a good example of good film making, but it is suppose to be "stupid fun" not "stupid dumb." Between those two descriptions, it's a little of both. David Zucker is once again the director for this film, but unfortunately, he will never be as good as he was in the classic Airplane! and The Naked Gun movies. The jokes are his typical lowbrow, dirty, and obvious comedy, but even if you like those kinds of humor, Scary Movie 4 is still not that great. I suppose you would watch this for the things the movie spoofs, and that's the real draw to it. If anything else though, this will most likely be the only movie you'll see that features basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal trying to make a free throw to literally save his life, or TV talk show host Dr.Phil talking about his mommy issues.
