Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

Product Description

Three times the laughs! Three times the terror! Three times the stars! Charlie Sheen (Two and A Half Men), Anna Faris (Scary Movie 1 & 2), Eddie Griffin (My Baby's Daddy), Queen Latifah (Chicago), Regina Hall (Scary Movie 1 & 2), and Denise Richards (Undercover Brother) take Scary Movie 3 to unprecedented levels of hysterically twisted comedy. With the help of nonstop celebrity cameos--including Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, George Carlin, Leslie Nielsen, and a who's who of rap artists -- thrillers, blockbusters, and pop culture get their best goosing yet. A news anchorwoman (Faris) investigates a killer videotape that's making its way around town, digs into a mysterious crop circle on an ex-priest's farm, and falls in love with a wannabe white rapper! Rapid-fire jokes and funny-bone-chilling suspense are sure signs this outrageous comedy will have you laughing your head off.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stupidest movie ever made, June 4, 2004

By	shawn lamarr Robertson (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

The wayans Bros was not in this movie like the last two. This was thrown together and did not make sense. Was 8 mile supposed to be scary??? Dont waste your time and money buying this movie just watch it over a friends house and let them waste their money. Go see white chicks with the Wayans Brothers if you want a laugh.
