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Not everything hits the target and the pop-culture spoofing is over a decade out of date...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

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!!!
