Comments: Kristen Bell. Aimee Teegarden. Hayden Panettiere. And my future wife, Alison Brie. Scream 4 is a like a nerd's wet dream come to life. Plus there's a ton of other lovely ladies. Despite the lack of nudity, I really can't complain about that aspect. As for the film itself, it's really more of the same. Scream 4 is incredibly full of itself, much like the original trilogy became towards the end. I was never a huge fan of any of the first three, but Scream 4 has enough humor (among the more "meta" shit that's overly explained throughout) that I did enjoy it. I was disappointed in the reveal of the killer at the end. While it was, I guess, a bit unexpected, it wasn't shocking or awesome. I was hoping for some huge finale... you know, go big or go home. But it didn't really deliver. If you liked the first three films, you'll enjoy this one. If not, you may find parts of it enjoyable enough (as I did) that it's worth your time.
