Critics Consensus

Though an improvement over the second Scary Movie, the laughs are still inconsistent.

The first one was original, the second was still funny, but the third installment is on autopilot.

This PG-13 has R-rated stuff.

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

Not everything hits the target and the pop-culture spoofing is over a decade out of date... but he tosses so many of them off with a wink and a grin that they catch you by surprise.

While occasionally humorous, the comedic elements are inconsistent and overly reliant on specific references, which may limit its broader appeal and enduring relevance.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." Mediocre is a compliment for this rubbish. The second film was bad but a guilty pleasure and I couldn’t see the series getting worse, but I was wrong. Truly painful with less funny bits than I thought possible for a comedy. I didn’t want to see the end, but I did. The only good thing is seeing George Carlin (the old geezer from Bill and Ted). At least the second film had that creepy guy with the dodgy hand to remember, what am I going to remember about this pile of poop? Nothing hopefully.
