Summary: Not that funny.
Review: I can't remember the last really funny spoof movie I have seen, for some reason I decided to rent "Scary Movie 3". I have not seen the first 2 due to the disgusting nature of them but heard 3 was kinda ok so watched it. The first ten minutes or so were pretty funny but then it really lost it's zip. Why they spoofed Enemin's film 8 Mile I don't know, after all this was supposed to be a horror movie spoof.

Charlie Sheen puts in his usual performance as does the once great Leslie Neilson. I really didn't appreciate a couple of jokes concerning a priest and a small boy, it was in really poor taste and almost made such a serious issue into a joke. Watch some of the deleted scenes as they are funnier than the movie itself, the scene with the heroine fighting the dead girl from the ring in Neo style is very amusing.

All in all, would not watch this again, not worth the time, effort or money.

Thanks for reading.

Summary: Anna Faris, Regina Hall return. Ajay Naidu in a cameo.
Review: If they ever made a movie quietly, this is the one. In this film, they make fun of pop singer, Michael Jackson and ironically, when this film was released, the real Michael Jackson was in serious trouble again with the law.
The Wayans have nothing to do with this film. None of the Wayans are in it.
This third film is not as funny as the first film. The story is mostly stolen from RINGU (1998), THE RING (2002) and SIGNS (2002) with touches of THE MATRIX (1999) and MATRIX 2 (2003). Only Anna Faris as "Cindy" and Regina Hall as "Brenda" who were in SCARY MOVIE (2000) and SCARY MOVIE 2 (2001) are in this sequel. Charlie Sheen and Simon Rex join the cast. Ajay Naidu as "Sayaman" and Jeremy Piven as the newscaster, offer funny bits. Cameo appearances by Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Camryn Manheim, Darrell Hammond, Leslie Nielsen, George Carlin, Simon Cowell and many black rap artists. Edward Moss played "MJ" in make-up that resembled more like "Planet of the Apes (2001).
This DVD includes in "Special features" over 20 deleted and extended scenes with alternate ending that includes more UFO's, "The Hulk", the Matrix courtyard, another Ajay naidu cameo, and "MJ" bit. A 23-minute featurette of "Making of Scary Movie 3". Nearly 5-minute "Making of Scary Movie 3 For Real". If they made Scary Movie 4, I would watch it.

Summary: HILARIOUS, WAAAY BETTER THAN THE 1ST OR SECOND!!!
Review: THE PLOT: OK, a tape that kills people is spearding, and meanwhile an alein race is coming to earth to destory the evil behind the tape. Great spoof of the Ring, especially. OH, and sighns. I think it also spoofed 8 mile, and the Matrix.

MY OPION: I saw the first one and thought it was offisevse. It had it's moments, but ultimatly stunk. The second one was the same as the fist without ANY good moments. But the third one was non-stop laughs from start to finish. SEE IT, BUY IT, AND PROUDLY DISPLAY IT I RECOMMEND!

SPECIAL FEATURES: N/A

OVERALL: A!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great trilogies come in threes.
Review: this movie is comic genius. putting The Ring and signs together and making them funny, is..............funny. since the other ones are rated R, (sadly) I cant compare them to this one. some people said this one is dumb because of some dumb reason but this one is so funny, when I saw it in the movie theater, I almost started crying. just so you people know, its pretty surprising its PG-13. but its the best comedy I've ever seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comic Brilliance!
Review: In the newest installment to the hilarious Scary Movie series, the top 3 films that they make fun of are Signs, The Ring and The Matrix Reloaded. I've seen all of them so, I thought that this movie made you laugh your head off! It's better if you see all of the movies. Anyway, the special features on the DVD are GREAT!!! There is an alternate ending that isn't very professional, but makes the movie seem a whole lot different, and gives you many extra laughs!! In the opening scene, the movie begins with a spoof of The Ring. Pam Anderson & Jenny McCarthy find out that they are "losing brain cells by every second of the day because of TV and their cylicone mollicules". So, if the opening scene made you laugh this much, who knows how funny it'll be. EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLE MOVIE IS HILARIOUS!!! Don't rent it, buy it. Buy the DVD!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Lots of good extras
Review: This was a pretty fun movie to watch because everyone seemed to be playing it straight. You are going to have to watch is a couple of times to get all the jokes. Most of the movie pokes fun at the Ring and the Matrix.

The extras were pretty good on the one espically the deleted scenes. I would have like to have seen the movie with alternate ending. It's kinda weird to watch because part of it is with no background music. They cut out a couple of scene I would have like to seen in the full lenght film and the aliens were more frightening in the deleted scenes.

Finally the girls are pretty hot in this movie and act like they have no clue. I guess it is what you should have expected from a movie like this. A good parady

Summary: SO FREAKING FUNNY!!!!!!!
Review: This movie is wet-your-pants funny! I rented it the day it came out and bought it 4 days later! It spoofs movies such as The Ring, Signs, The Matrix Reloaded, and 8 Mile. It follows news reporter Cindy Cambell as she tries to uncover the secret of a video tape that kills viewers in 7 days and how it is connected to the "ATTACK HERE" sign in local farmer Tom Logan's cornfield. Along the way, she falls in love with Tom's brother, wanna-be white rapper George, gets the disturbing phone call that tells you that you are going to die in seven days, and unintentionally tortures her nephew, Cody! This is by far the funniest movie I have ever seen. If you are going to see it, go ahead and buy it. You won't regret it!

Summary: A hilarious parody; the best Scary Movie yet!
Review: "Scary Movie 3" is funny. I could use that one sentence as my review, and it would be good enough. Funny.

However, I think you want more. The plot: a farmer wakes up in his bedroom to his daughter screaming.

A reporter has discovered a video tape that, when watched, gives you seven days to live, before you die a horrible death.

That's bare bones, I agree--but the humor revolves around those two main plots, taken from "Signs" and "The Ring." Also parodied: "8 Mile," "The Matrix," "The Others," and many more.

The movie stars Charlie Sheen, Anna Faris (from the first two movies), and Simon Rex. However, be on the lookout for cameos (and some extended scenes) featuring: Leslie Nielsen (in his first actually funny role in quite a while), George Carlin, Eddie Griffith, Queen Latifah, Denise Richards, and all your favorite rap stars.

The extras are incredible, too. They feature: two making-of documentaries (one real, one for fun); an alternate ending (a half-hour's worth); deleted scenes; outtakes; commentary; a making-of for the alternate ending; and, if you really want, Spanish subtitles (try to follow along, I dare you).

"Scary Movie 3" isn't scary at all, but it's flat-out hilarious! This is one for every comedy fan. A must-have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny,and good
Review: The movie started off slow but then things picked up and I really mean it.The 8-Mile parody,Quenn Latifah's character and the Michael Jackson skit was the funniest.Leslie Neilsen's character was also good.It is amazing he was once an actor in serious roles and now he is fantastic in comedy.My niece laughed at everything in the movie.Including the rap singers shooting themselves to death for stupid reasons.The cast and the writing was good and I would put this movie on my list as one of the top ten funniest.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Who's Gay?
Review: Sometimes you just need to laugh. Let it all out and have a good time with a silly, disposable piece of fluff like Scary Movie 3. I was never really a huge fan of the series, although I enjoyed the original and pretty much had no feeling whatsoever for the misguided Part 2. So, what's on target this time?. What's the plot?. Our young heroine Cindy Campbell(the returning, and lovely, Anna Faris from SM 1 and 2), is now a reporter for the local news. She stumbles onto a hot story about crop circles and alien invasions, after this phenomena lands on the farm of a man and his brother(Charlie Sheen and Simon Rex), in a hysterical spoof of "Signs". There is also a weird videotape going around that after you watch it, you get a phone call saying "seven days" and you die in that amount of time. Cindy believes that the two things are somehow connected. Besides "Signs", the big movie parodied here is "The Ring", and the filmmakers manage to really hit spot on with the spoof of that film. Blonde Playboy bombshells Jenny McCarthy and Pamela Anderson appear in the film's opening minutes mimicking the opening minutes of "The Ring". Others who appear in the film include a dreadlocked Anthony Anderson, Camryn Manheim, Jeremy Piven, Ja Rule, Macy Gray, George Carlin, Eddie Griffin, Queen Latifah, and D.L. Hughley, among others. Sheen's real life wife Denise Richards has a cameo, and in a bit of inspired casting, Leslie Nielsen as the president. Nielsen is always a pleasure, but he does look like he has aged a bit. The only other holdover from the previous SM films is Regina Hall as Brenda. No matter what happens to her in other SM films, Brenda always manages to find her way back into each installment, and it is nice to have Hall back. Even though she gets a pretty short role this time out, she is always fun to watch. Other films getting the spoof treatment here include "8 Mile", "The Others", and "The Matrix" films. It's funny that the one thing that got the series back into some kind of shape and made it better than the original was no longer having the original creators, The Wayans clan, on board. The maestro of spoof, David Zucker, is the one on board this time. The genius behind the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" films, is calling the shots, with Pat Proft, he of "Hot Shots" fame and others, on script duty. That alone is enough to give this film a look. The film, while still coming across as a hodepodge, slapped together kind of film, is more solidly backed up and filmed than the second one. The cast is a lot better, and there's just a better vibe here. The jokes and gags come fast and furious, and some completely fall flat. Like most others have said, this isn't a problem since there will be a handful more in the coming seconds and minutes and they usually hit the target. There's nothing wrong with harmless pieces of transparent fluff like this. The chance of letting one's self relax and just get silly is always a welcomed pleasure. Scary Movie 3 was intended as nothing more than escapism and it achieves that. Nothing more, nothing less.
