Scary Movie 3 (2003)
5/10
Spoof movie with a myriad of embarrassing and unimaginative gags.
19 May 2006
This third chapter deals with Cindy (Anna Faris) who must protect a kid and she befriends his brother, a white rapper (Simon Rex)and the father (Charlie Sheen). Besides, she investigates strange crop circles as well as eerie videotapes and shunning Alien invaders with the intervention of the stupidest President (Leslie Nielsen). Reload for a third shot !. You'll die to see these rings !. This time it's personal, you're Warned !. Catch her if you can......Invading heavenly bodies soon !. Great trilogies come in threes !.

Cindy is back ,this time to save America from a plot Alien invasion for world domination. She thwarts the plans and saves the kid from a ghostly creature. Stars Anna Faris as Cindy and Regina Hall as Brenda who are the only people to show up in the first four Scary Movie films. From the start to finish the humor and the laughters are innumerable. Lots of gags and sketches, some of them funny but movie lacks the freshness of the first and second installment. This is a hilarious parody, surrealist, extreme spoof and gross out though less than its predecessors but is also intelligent and bold at times. It is really just an excuse for filmmaker David Zucker to parody a whole new batch of films and to do a lot of sex jokes and ugly scenes. As always the cinematic references are numerous and provide silly laughs, the amusement is guessing which films are parodied; they result to be the following : ¨Signs¨and ¨The ring¨ specially, but also ¨8 miles¨, ¨The others¨ including an ironic gag about Michael Jackson, and with a President (a deadpan Nielsen) parodying¨Air Force One¨. The picture contains loads of fun here and there and a passel of cameo appearances, such as: Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Queen Latifah, Eddie Griffin and rappers, as JA Rule, Master P, Method man.

David Zucker, is the main creator of the cinematic subgenre of 'Spoof Movie' : parodies in which grotesque references to various successful films are mixed. David is back behind the camera of the 'Scary Movie' saga, as he already did in the first installment. The movie was mediocrely directed by David Zucker, he along with his brother Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams are famous American satirists (ZAZ), they are directors and writers with successful works and long time collaborators, making their own comedy troupe (The Kentucky Fried). If you are looking for well-done spoofery, sees ¨Airplane¨ and ¨I'm gonna git you sucka¨ and leave this one to the discount previously viewed bin. Rating: 4.5/10. The motion picture will appeal to lunatic humor and absurd comedy enthusiasts.
