Reviews for Scary Movie 3
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.
