    There are only 3 types of people in the world who would hate this movie...soccer moms, ....., and people who like Michael Bay movies.

    This movie was hilarious. The only bad part is it didn't have the same people as the 1st and 2nd. if it did it would have been a 10.

    Oh man was this movie funny! It was hillarious. But for the older, more mature people out there, this movie is definitely not for you. It has the humor that a teenager would love!

    This was a great comedy, and i would definatly see it again!!! If you saw Scary Movie 1 or Scary Movie 2 you should surely see SCARY MOVIE 3!!! The only regret is that i wish i would`ve seen 8 Mile before i saw it !

    Hilarious, some of the jokes miss but others are bang on, even things that would normally seem stupid are made into laugh riotes because of the fun atmosphere set in the first few scenes. Charlie Sheen is good as a leading character and even the non-spoof jokes are funny and sometimes better than the movie jokes. All in all i had a great time after the dissapointing scary movie 2. i will see this again before it leaves theatres and i certain that i will laugh again and again, not as much as seeing it for the first tme but remember... AGAIN AND AGAIN. i dont even like stupid comedies but Scary movie three had no sick jokes, it was creative and almost perfect. a good movie to watch with your teen because i asure all you adults it wont be as bad as you think. i was surprised it got a 48 review on metacritc (yellow background i.e. mixed reviews). A slap stick comedy spoof would usualy get in the mid twentys, kind of simalir to a horror flick. For a movie like Scary movie 3 to get a decent 48 is a lot better then it sounds, basically i would think a 48 for this would end up as a good 70 for anything else. Expand

    The plot is nonsensical, the jokes offensive and over-the-top and the acting ridiculous...this is one of the best comedies ever written! I love the way that the Scary Movie franchise has to parody everything, however I raised my eyebrows when I saw the Michael Jackson-y scene.

    There is just too many funny moments to count. I loved it then, and it still has me laughing my butt off today. This was seriously pretty brilliant to come up with this.

  1. Scary Movie 3 is a veritable time capsule of of-this-moment kitsch, schlock and bad taste. And it's funny, too.
  2. The franchise, which had begun to run out of steam in Part 2, has been given a shot of adrenaline with the replacement of the Wayans Brothers as the prime creative forces by Hollywood's original spoof-meister, David Zucker.

    The decision to overhaul the Scary Movie franchise by sending up such non-horror titles as "8 Mile" and "The Matrix Reloaded" also pays dividends.
