This freewheeling parody tosses horror movies, Eminem, The Matrix, and much more into a cinematic blender. Scary Movie 3 centers around Cindy (Anna Faris, Lost in Translation), a bubble-headed young newscaster who believes that a deadly videotape has some mysterious connection to the aliens who've been making crop circles in the cornfield of a local farmer (Charlie Sheen, Young Guns), whose brother (Simon Rex) hopes to win a local rap contest. Along for the ride are Queen Latifah, George Carlin, Anthony Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Jeremy Piven, Camryn Manheim, Ja Rule, dozens of rap stars, and Leslie Nielsen as the President of the U.S. No need to have seen the first two Scary Movie flicks--though a few of the characters recur, the movie leapfrogs from gag to goofy gag, plundering The Ring, Signs, and The Others as needed. Silly and slapdash, but with a decent dose of laughs. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Riot, October 22, 2003

By	H. Semones "soanim8ed" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wondered when I watched the trailer for Scary Movie 3 why I was laughing so hard. Sure I enjoyed the first two films, but they seemed... amateurish. Yeah, I know the entire series is nothing but crass, low-brow humor, but that trailer was SO funny. I found myself on the Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com) trying to figure it out. Much to my surprise, I found David Zucker (one of the three masterminds behind Airplane!) directing and writing AND Kevin Smith producing and writing the film. Zounds!

I don't know why or how the Wayans brothers aren't involved, but frankly it's for the better. The movie is absolutely hilarious. Oh sure, there are jokes so obvious they are like seeing a jumbo jet landing in your front yard, but there are also enough surprises that catch you off guard to more than make up for that.

The "plot" purees The Ring, Signs and Eight Mile into a mismatch of parody and slap-stick well enough that you wish the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams would get back together and come up with one more. This is mostly for two scenes that sustain laughs so long they actually hurt. Don't get me wrong. This nothing more than stupid, sophomoric humor, but when in the hands of talented comedic film makers, it becomes a film that demands repeated viewings much like Airplane! and Top Secret. In other words, a laugh riot.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Waynes, no winner!, October 26, 2003

By	Chris (Florida) - See all my reviews

Trying as hard as possible to humor myself, just to make it worth the money to get in, I realized it is pointless to fight the lameness that accompanied this film. This movie lacked the extremities that pushed scary movie and it's sequel over the edge into new territoy. Haunted by the usual clichés of any comedy sequel, the cast in SM3 did not seem choice for delivering the one punch lines as well as the previous. Scenes streched and tired easily. Mazin and Profit, although trying to follow the Wayne's examples set in the first to films of the franchise, seem to lack the grotesque and random nature of the original writers that made scary movie unique from other comedy spoofs. In my opinion, Scary Movie 3 was a horrible end to what could have been a great trilogy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only good as a rental, May 3, 2004

By	Rodrigo Llamozas (the last cubicle at the end of the hall...) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Scary Movie 3 (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

I'm a huge fan of parody films like Airplane!, Top Secret! and the Naked Gun series. I love those films. Having said that, and in spite of boasting David Zucker as its director, I hated Scary movie 3.

I never liked the first two films that much, but I never expected to like the third one the least, especially since Zucker, the co-director of the "classics" that I mentioned at the beginning would be behind the lens on this one.

Only two characters from the first two movies remain, Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell and Regina Hall as Brenda. The rest of the cast is made of Charlie Sheen, Leslie Nielsen (who seemingly can't find work in any other kind of movies these days), Simon Rex and Anthony Anderson, accompanied by a few wasted cameos by the likes of Queen Latifah, Eddie Griffin, Jeremy Piven, George Carlin, Jenny McCarthy, Pamela Anderson, Leslie Nielsen and Camryn Manheim.

The film tries to make fun of The Matrix, The Ring, Signs and a few others, but it doesn't really suceed, as it only manages to include very few scenes that deserve laughing, most of them shown in the trailer.

Only good as a rental.
