At barely 80 minutes, it's just as long as it needs to be, and almost as funny.

Reviews for Scary Movie 3
Despite the sluggish third act, Scary Movie 3, for what it is – and that would be big, dumb fun – is worth shelling out the duckets for.
10/26/03
[The film] tirelessly plumbs away for laughs, some honestly earned, with the majority on the desperate side.
10/26/03
If a film can't make you laugh when American Idol host Simon Cowell gets shot at a freestyle rap competition, something is seriously wrong.
10/26/03
Scary Movie 3 starts out so funny you'll be wishing you'd brought a respitory assistance apparatus… but then it continues.
10/25/03
If your idea of a good time is trying not to roll in the aisles with laughter and risk making a fool of yourself, then Scary Movie 3 surprisingly fits the bills.
10/25/03
"74 minutes is just about right for a slappy, goofy film that remembers how funny it is to see people getting hit in the head."
10/25/03
The film takes a downturn when, of all people, Leslie Nielsen enters the picture as President Harris. Slapstick had been well utilized up to this point, but it becomes incessant with quickly diminishing returns.
10/25/03
[David] Zucker's film ultimately comes up short because he doesn't seem to want to slow down as he gets older.
10/24/03
If you haven't been a regular fixture at the multiplex, or don't spend all your time in front of the tube surfing hip-hop videos on MTV2, then you're not in on the joke, and if you're not in on the joke, you might want to skip this one.
10/24/03
A sequel funnier than its predecessors.
10/24/03
Top CriticIf the casting, synopsis and very concept don't deter you, you'll probably find it very funny.
10/24/03
It's all been there, razzed that, with long flat valleys stretching beneath the comic peaks.
10/24/03
Top CriticIt's last year's satire, wearing this year's clothes.
10/24/03
There are a few laughs in Scary Movie 3, but most of the content is hopelessly dated.
10/24/03
The scattergun humor occasionally hits the broad targets -- and sometimes misses by a mile.
10/24/03
The Naked Gun 33 1/3 wasn't the final insult from a founding ZAZ (Zucker/Abrams/Zucker) member; this is.
10/24/03
Top CriticScary Movie 3 is a veritable time capsule of of-this-moment kitsch, schlock and bad taste. And it's funny, too.
10/24/03
Nielsen is not the deadpan laugh-getter he used to be, but Zucker could have done worse among Naked Gun alumni. O.J., for instance.
10/24/03
Plays like 80 minutes of Naked Gun rejects.
