Editorial Review:
This freewheeling parody tosses horror movies, Eminem, The Matrix, and much more into a cinematic blender. Scary MovieĀ 3 centers around Cindy (Anna Faris, Lost in Translation), a bubble-headed young newscaster who believes that a deadly videotape has some mysterious connection to the aliens who've been making crop circles in the cornfield of a local farmer (Charlie Sheen, Young Guns), whose brother (Simon Rex) hopes to win a local rap contest. Along for the ride are Queen Latifah, George Carlin, Anthony Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Jeremy Piven, Camryn Manheim, Ja Rule, dozens of rap stars, and Leslie Nielsen as the President of the U.S. No need to have seen the first two Scary Movie flicks--though a few of the characters recur, the movie leapfrogs from gag to goofy gag, plundering The Ring, Signs, and The Others as needed. Silly and slapdash, but with a decent dose of laughs. --Bret Fetzer
Scary Movie 3 [Region 2] Reviews:
"I just ran him over with the car when I drove in! Everyone you love around you is dying!" 
2008-08-24 - This is actually my favorite movie in the Scary Movie franchise. It could have been better, I will admit, but Charlie Sheen and Simon Rex make this movie, as does the usually funny Ana Faris. Anthony Anderson and Kevin Hart are also Hilarious! Leslie Nelson is pretty good in this, too, but I'm a Leslie Nelson fan, so I'm partial to his work already.
This is where the parody movies should have ceased, at least for a while so that writers could put a GOOD script together... The spoof movies that followed (Scary Movie 4, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.) have been simply AWFUL!
Movie necer gets old 
2008-06-07 - I watched this again lst night so much cmedy its ridculous love it to death!
The Best of the Series 
2008-05-30 - If you like to laugh and like scary movies this one is for you. The best scene is any scene with Charlie Sheen. He is a comic genius
Great Laughs 
2008-03-26 - I needed a laugh when I found this movie on TV and had to rent it. It lampooned so many movies that I remember well, including Airplane. Charlie Sheen and Leslie Neilsen are spoof movie staples and they didn't disappoint this time.
a good start but a real drag by the end 
2008-03-01 - I was enjoying it quite a bit for the first 30 minutes or so. The two busty supermodels who open the movie catch your attention real fast. And the jokes are good. The 8-Mile rap showdown (use the subtitles on this part to catch it all) and the kindergarten teacher who tries to scare her friend a few times before getting it for real were funny scenes too.
But as it got deeper into the whole "Signs/The Ring" parody, I started losing interest. Maybe 'cause I didn't much care for either of those movies, especially "Signs".. The Ring was ripe for parody and it was coming off well in the beginning, but got tiresome along with the rest of it very quickly. The jokes just kept getting flatter and flatter as the movie went on. Leslie Neilson as the president didn't do ANYTHING to help things (quite the contrary - talk about stupid - he was bringing this one down!). And yeah like someone else mentioned - all the kid violence was a bit much and I didn't like the Mother Theresa gags (shooting a hole in a picture of Mother Theresa is funny?) I just kept thinking "What happened? Where'd the good jokes go?" I was surfing the net by the last half hour - not a good sign when you're watching a movie.
