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.

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Not everything hits the target and the pop-culture spoofing is over a decade out of date...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.

"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.

Yeah many moments in Scary Movie 3 are absolutely flat slapstick jokes but it has one of the most iconic scenes of the series, such as Charlie Sheen fighting with Michael Jackson, the hilarious Eminem Rap-Battle moment, the Aliens and every scene Leslie Nielsen is in. Might not be for everyone, but its an old classic and im sure you will love it when ur baked outta your mind or when you have a drink.

Did we need a Scary Movie 3, no we didn't but we got it. I have to say, that this film is decent with some funny jokes and a better plot then it's sequel, but it's still mediocre. Definitely for fans only, this film is weak, pointless and really bad, but hey, it's a scary movie film after all, and I was expecting high art, so yeah, watch it if you're a fan, but others stay clear of this waste of life!!!
