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]

Basically, any movie that suffers from a lack of Charlie Sheen has got problems.

Zucker's slapstick may have the satiric delicacy of a chainsaw lobotomy, but it hasn't harmed the franchise.

If you’re looking for anything other than a parody clipshow, you won’t find it.

This is not one of those occasions when you feel like giving Zucker an even break.

The only thing more worn than the humour is a tired-looking Nielsen.

Delivers plenty of decent laughs in its short running time.

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

Just middling funny, with no truly memorable high points and a sum impact that goes poof! before you've left the parking garage.

As with Scary Movie parts one and two, you pays your money, you gets your laughs, and you won't remember a thing in a few months.

Fun, stupid stuff with no sense of a narrative arc or plot structure ... but hey, it made me laugh anyway.

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.”

Scary Movie 3 turns out to be an odd combination of the old-fashioned and the hip. I found it too awkward a combination to be entirely successful.

Leave your brain in the foyer, and your taste in the toilets.

Algumas gags funcionam, mas numa razão de cerca de 30%, eu diria. Portanto, talvez esta produção valha o preço do ingresso – isto é, caso você consiga 70% de desconto.
