Reviews for Scary Movie 3
Yes, it's very, very stupid. But it's also full of hilariously inspired comedy.
11/02/03
The only thing more worn than the humour is a tired-looking Nielsen.
01/27/04
Top CriticBasically, any movie that suffers from a lack of Charlie Sheen has got problems.
04/01/06
Top CriticBe afraid, be very afraid.
06/23/08
Top CriticZucker's slapstick may have the satiric delicacy of a chainsaw lobotomy, but it hasn't harmed the franchise.
02/09/06
Top CriticIf you’re looking for anything other than a parody clipshow, you won’t find it.
07/20/04
This is not one of those occasions when you feel like giving Zucker an even break.
04/09/04
Top CriticAlthough Scary Movie 2 was downright scream-worthy, director David Zucker takes the controls to push this one to new heights.
10/23/03
Top CriticThis is by far the best installment yet.
10/23/03
It’s actually more controversial, more outrageous and, most importantly, far funnier than the first two films.
10/23/03
David Zucker hasn't exactly breathed new life into the series, but he knows what old jokes still work.
10/23/03
Zucker amps up the slapstick a little too much, resulting in headaches where belly laughs could‘ve easily been harvested.
11/07/03
Less crude than its predecessors, this is a modestly successful spoof with just enough laughs to have you walking out with a smile on your face.
10/23/03
This is just a stab in the dark, the wildest of guesses on my part, but I don’t think Michael Jackson would recommend “Scary Movie 3.”
09/11/05
It's the ideal comedy for 12-year-old boys of every age and gender.
10/23/03
The scariest thing about Scary Movie 3 is that it's actually pretty funny.
11/04/03
Rebounds nicely from its sophomore misfire, giddily inbreeding the plots of a half-dozen box office overachievers—from The Ring to 8 Mile -- until the result assumes a comically unstoppable life of its own.
10/28/03
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."
