Scary Movie 4

This weekend, the Scary Movie franchise returns to theaters. Scary Movie 4, which again stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall (the only two who have been in all four films) with Leslie Nielson, Craig Bierko, Simon Rex, Dr. Phil and Shaq, looks funny, especially if you’ve seen “Saw,” “The Grudge,” “Brokeback Mountain,” “The Village,” and “War of the Worlds” (and probably about 50 other movies that will be referenced). Milwaukee-born director David Zucker (of “Naked Gun” fame) took over the series after the Wayans Brothers abandoned it in 2001. I’m guessing this film will end up on top this weekend's box office (Disney’s “The Wild” is also opening, but it looks like a stinker). One thing you won’t have to guess about is that the people watching Scary Movie 4 won’t have to think about it a whole heck of a lot. This ain’t no "Citizen Kane." Hey, if you see it this weekend, drop a comment and tell me what you think!
