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.Read full review
Scary Movie 3 Disappointing... I expected more out of this movie, but it just didn't deliver. The problem I had with this movie was it was more of an all around spoof movie, not just a horror movie spoof. Although I enjoyed the 8 Mile spoof, the lack of overall movies spoofed was too low. This movie basically spoofs Signs and the Ring. Anthony Anderson is one of the true bright spots in this film. And I'm drawing a blank, but his little sidekick is also great. Final Verdict: 3/5 Rent or Buy?: I haven't bought this film, and I don't plan on buying it unless it comes in a box set with the other 3 Scary Movie titles. It's funny enough to warrant a rental, but in my opinion... nothing more IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
great time watching.
