I really liked the first two movies. They weren't great movies, but they fulfilled their purpose (and Hart Bochner was in Final Cut, good enough for me), but this movie...HORRIBLE.

Where should I begin. Well, first off, it makes no sense. The motivation of the human killer near the end is revealed, and well, let's just say he's lived 30 years out in the open, not hiding the fact that he was Mary's prom date, so why now all of a sudden is scared? Everyone knows she is dead, everyone knows he was her prom date, but it all got swept under the rug for some reason, but now all of a sudden he's willing to kill to keep a secret that has never been a secret? Um, OK...

Second, isn't this supposed to be Urban Legends??? What Urban Legend is someone getting killed with a broken bottle? Or strangled with a plastic bag? And why is Bloody Mary wanting to use Urban Legends??? It's not like her death had anything at all to do with them? And dying a tanning bed is NOT an urban legend, it's just a rip-off of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

But I LOVED it. Kristen Bell reprises her role from the off-Broadway show, and is awesome. In fact, the entire cast was awesome. Maybe because I'm a fan of the original 1938 version (Mary Lane getting shot in the back when the gun went off nowhere near that direction was HILARIOUS), but I couldn't help but love the energy this movie had. Most people only know Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars, so it's cool to see her in something totally different. She can dance, and I loved her S&M getup. Christina Campbell is so goofy and looks exactly like his sister Neve, which is fun (even though she's barely in the thing).Ana Gasteyer can SING! People will probably look for some deep meaning, or take this too seriously and over-analyze what it is, but don't--just enjoy the crazy energy and partake in the MADNESS!
