If a film feels the need to specify that it's definitely not a comedy, but then show us a bunch of funny scenes, it's probably because they don't feel really confident that it's NOT a comedy. My guess is that it IS sort of a comedy.
Because okay, watch this new TV spot for the film, and notice a few things:
1) Why is everyone using a phone from 1995?
2) "Ghostface" is now called, officially on the IMDB, "The Ghostface Killer". Now, I may be a dumb gringa and all that, but isn't that what the "urban" youths started calling the iconic Scream masked-figure after part 3 came out? Now it's "The Ghostface Killer"? Why not just call him "Tha Ghostface Killa" like that weird rapper and get it over with, right? Why not just write on the bottom of the poster, "We'd really like black people to consider seeing this film. We view as some kind of racial demographic and we stereotyped you excessively at our marketing meetings."
3) Emma Roberts's last name in the film is "Roberts". Is this, like, so she feels special? Or so she would recognize her character's name in the script so she wouldn't get confused? Or what? Word around town is that she's one boring bitch.
4) Sheriff Dewey and Gale are now married. That's going to be a FUN press day! Oh, the official press day notes inviting us to interview Cox and Arquette says, "PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ASK THAT INTERVIEWS AND QUESTIONS BE ABOUT THE FILM SCREAM 4 AND THE FRANCHISE AND NOT ABOUT PERSONAL MATTERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING" Like, all in BOLD CAPITALS so we get the picture; you can't ask Cox and Arquette about their embarassing, tabloid-honored, alcohol-and-affair-fueled divorce. Boy that's going to be a fun press conference for both of them!
5) Anthony Anderson is wacky black deputy Perkins, who be pullin' some jokes on his white partner! Whacky! Glad they didn't stereotype the one and only non-white character in this entire film, because that would be really shortsighted and racist, even!
6) The Voice on the Phone. I swear to God, that voice is so much more pandering, silly, and ridiculous than in any of the prior three films. If that isn't Mary McDonnell's voice through a voice changer, I'll be pissed. It sounds really fucking cartoony.
By the way, where IS Mary McDonnell in all these trailers and teasers? Not one glimpse of her is seen in any of them. She may be the most iconic, respected, and admired actress in the entire movie, yet she's not even in the trailers. I guess everyone who's going to be seeing this was too young to watch Battlestar Galactica, two years ago.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the new Tv spot.
We fucking hate each other in real life! The magic of the cinema!
I forgot to mention - Cox's forehead is permanently paralyzed through some tragic illness, apparently, because she repeatedly denies actually getting botox injections, which is the only other alternative to why a 45-year-old-woman in Hollywood can't move her forehead muscles.

I'm guessing her forehead was paralyzed in embarrassment over this whole mess.

Maybe it was all the second hand (pot) smoke from her ex. Now her forehead is just too relaxed to move.
Men and Women are so fucking stupid for getting Botox injections.
The botox isn't so bad. It's the fish lips that disgust me.
Sorry, ladies but nobody has ever looked good after a lip job. Your lips thin as you get older. Deal with it.
The list of beautiful actresses who have, in my opinion, ruined their appearence with that crap is exhaustive. As the great Australian comedienne Judith Lucy once said "If any woman out wants that look I'd be more than happy to just punch them in the mouth."
