The Scary Movie franchise began in 2000, and promised "no sequel," but we only had to wait a year for Scary Movie 2 and Scary Movie 3 came soon after. Scary Movie spoofed an entire array of teen horror films revolving around the main storyline of Scream, which made for classic viewing. However, Scary Movie 4 not only spoofs horror films and other popular films released lately, it also spoofs pop culture in the United States.

Director David Zucker, who took over the reigns on Scary Movie 3, adds his usual slapstick and unrealistic humor to this film, once more including such scenes like Doctor Phil accidentally sawing off the wrong foot only after claiming that he's really an electrician, and Cindy Campbell pouring hot coffee over her head to keep her awake instead of drinking it.

Scary Movie 4 spoofs movies such as War of the Worlds, The Grudge, Saw, The Village, Million Dollar Baby, and Brokeback Mountain. It includes pop culture references to Zombies, Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, Dr Phil, Shaq, MTV, I-Pods, and Tom Cruise's Oprah performance and loaded with cameo's. It's filled with the usual sexual humour and is a film that guarantees you will at least laugh out loud more than once.

Leslie Nielsen makes this film, resuming his role as U.S. President Harris who would much rather listen to children read about a duck than worry about the fact that the nation is under attack. This is a reference to Bush's delayed reaction in September of 2001, somewhat suggesting that underneath the comedy there is a little political commentary. President Harris is a portrayal of how people view the U.S President - a blubbering old man whose stupidity outweighs his man boobs.

Carmen Electra returns from the Scary Movie casualty list as a completely different character - playing a sexy spoof of Bryce Dallas Howard's blind girl from The Village. Electra loves taking the piss out of herself and we love watching her do so. She should be commended for it rather then to be condemned for it.
