Taking shots at the latest crop of block-busters, SCARY MOVIE 3 irreverently roasts "The Ring," "Signs," "Matrix Reloaded," "Eight Mile," "The Others" and more, as well as pop culture trends such as "American Idol." The film brings director David Zucker back to the genre he helped create with the classics "Airplane!," "Naked Gun," "Naked Gun 2 1/2" and "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult." The cast of SCARY MOVIE 3 includes Anna Faris as eager anchorwoman Cindy Campbell; Charlie Sheen as the aliens-attracting farmer Tom and Denise Richards as his hapless wife Annie; Eddie Griffin as Orpheus and Queen Latifah as The Oracle, Aunt Shaneequa; Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy as Catholic School Girls; Leslie Nielsen as the President of The United States; Simon Rex as rap-star wannabe George; Jeremy Piven as reporter Ross Giggins; Camryn Manheim as the formidable Trooper Champlin; Regina Hall as eerie school teacher Brenda Meeks; Anthony Anderson as rap promoter Mahalik; as well as George Carlin. Fat Joe, Simon Cowell, Method Man, Redman, Macy Gray, Master P., Ja Rule, D.L. Hughley, Wu Tang Clan and The Coors Twins. The producer is Robert K. Weiss. -- © Dimension Films [More]

    The latest in this popular spoof franchise is funnier than Scary Movie 2 (which means I came close to laughing at least once.)

    ... the only people who’ll remember it will be the ones cashing their checks afterward (or who’ll campaign a studio later to do another one of these turkeys).

    The vibe of Zucker's great films is there, but because the subject matter is so scattershot, it's not handled as richly, and the payoffs are shallower.

    the film skewers a group very worthy of cinematic abuse and misuse, being what we playfully refer to as the stupid.

    Zucker amps up the slapstick a little too much, resulting in headaches where belly laughs could‘ve easily been harvested.

    This PG-13 rated film -- give me a break! -- illustrates everything wrong with the MPAA's rating system. Sleaze oozes from every celluloid frame.

    If you're a fan of the Scary Movie franchise, or of the ZAZ style, you should really check this one out.

    There are a few disappointing deviations that hinder the comic thrust of the movie, but still, I'm not ashamed to admit that, yes, I did have a few good belly laughs...

    Zucker and company keep up such a frantic pace, the next laugh is never too far off.

    Pamela Anderson, Simon Cowell and a Michael Jackson clone - certainly some folks' idea of a good time but little more than an act of sheer desperation as far as I'm concerned.

    The scariest thing about Scary Movie 3 is that it's actually pretty funny.

    Yes, it's very, very stupid. But it's also full of hilariously inspired comedy.

    A string of jokes, increasingly unfunny as they settle into something of a plot and the trajectory becomes obvious.

    I don't expect Zucker to exhibit good taste, but he could have relied less on the predictably crude and crudely predictable.
