Spoof-series torchbearer and Airplane! mastermind David Zucker steps back
into the captain's chair for yet another round of cinematic shenanigans in the
latest installment of the Scary Movie franchise, this time mocking such
frightful blockbusters as Saw, War of the Worlds, The Village, and The Grudge.
An alien invasion threatens to wipe out the entire human race, but not if Cindy
Campbell (Anna Faris) and her nymphomaniac pal Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall) have
any say in the matter. With the clock counting down for all of humankind and the
extraterrestrial invasion about to begin, the fearless but slightly dunderheaded
heroines are joined by a series of celebrity guests including Dr. Phil, Carmen
Electra, Chris Elliot, Shaquille O'Neal, and, of course, Leslie Neilson in
ensuring that the planet remains free of the alien menace and prepared for yet
another installment in the over-the-top, pop-culture deflating satire series. ~
