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]

    It's the ideal comedy for 12-year-old boys of every age and gender.

    The laughs are so far apart and offer so few comic calories that it might be time to stick a fork in the franchise.

    On their own as little skits the horror spoof vignettes are funny enough, but as a 90 minute movie they just don't work.

    To call the humor sophomoric would be an insult to second-year students everywhere...far too stale and puerile to generate much besides groans.

    It’s actually more controversial, more outrageous and, most importantly, far funnier than the first two films.

    The picture doesn't even respect the movies it mocks enough to understand what it is about them that fails.

    The Scary Movie horror spoofs must be some kind of mutant, alien movie franchise. There's just no other explanation for the fact that the sequels actually keep getting better.
