Critics Consensus

Though an improvement over the second Scary Movie, the laughs are still inconsistent.

"Scary Movie 3" is not a groundbreaking comedy, but it is a decent spoof movie. I do feel this is an improvement over the second movie. I do feel like the movie works for me because I saw "The Ring" somewhat recently and it parodies that film the most. I also am a big fan of "Signs" and "8 Mile" and I really enjoyed the way this movie parodies those as well. I do think some of the jokes are a miss, but enough of them made me laugh to where I think the movie is okay. Overall, it is not a movie that is going to win anyone over who didn't already like the humor this franchise has to offer, but I think it is a decent fun time with plenty of silliness to go around.

Decente película, una cinta que en mi opinión supera a la primera. Esta es una película en la que hubo un rotundo cambio en la saga ya que hubo un cambio de director y se saco por completo a los hermanos Wayans. En su reemplazo pusieron a David Zucker, quien ya es muy conocido por hacer cine parodia, y creo que en esta película no lo hace nada mal. Se nota una diferencia con las anteriores dos, principalmente en los chistes, se hizo de lado a los chistes sexuales (los cuales en mi opinión eran demasiados y saturaban) para convertirla en una película para adolescentes y sacar la clasificación R para ganar mas publico. Además, algo que le suma mucho a esta cinta en mi opinión, es que se sigue una historia dentro de todo lo absurdo, y ya no es como las anteriores dos que no había trama directamente y eran un conjunto de chistes. Las diversas parodias realizadas me gustaron, aunque hay cosas muy random como la aparición de Michael Jackson, que siento que era algo mas de la época y llega a funcionar sin que me parezca innecesario. El humor en general me gusto, tiene chistes muy buenos y se nota el trabajo de Zucker, aunque creo que hay algunos mas icónicos en la primera entrega. Por otro lado, el elenco de personajes me gusta, por un lado están los originales interpretados por Anna Faris y Regina Hall, y por otro lado cambia un poco, ya que se dejo de lado a los personajes de los hermanos Wayans y en su "reemplazo" están Anthony Anderson y Kevin Hart, ambos me parecieron personajes graciosos y que hacen que no se sienta tanto la ausencia de los Wayans. Además, también se suman actores de renombre como Charlie Sheen y Leslie Nielsen que suman mucho a esta entrega. En conclusión, una tercera entrega en mi opinión al nivel de la primera, que hasta incluso es un poco mejor, una cinta con un cambio de tono en cuanto a que se deja de lado todo lo sexual y que se empieza a tomar un poco mas en serio en cuanto a la trama, cosa que me gusto mucho. La recomiendo.

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.
