Editorial Reviews
The Wayans brothers started this series of fright-film spoofs, but the third Scary Movie is better than the first two combined, thanks to the formidable new team behind the camera. Scary Movie 3 director David Zucker -- who, together with his brother Jerry and their partner Jim Abrahams, practically invented the spoof genre with 1980's Airplane -- worked here with writer Pat Proft, his collaborator from the Naked Gun movies. Zucker tones down the sex-and-drug jokes and relies on tighter scripting, better pacing, and sharper parody to distinguish this entry. Easily recognizable targets of good-natured ridicule include The Ring, Signs, Independence Day, The Matrix,, and even Eminem's 8 Mile. As the story opens, TV reporter Cindy Campbell (series veteran Anna Faris) investigates a number of deaths tied to the viewing of a bizarre videotape, which may have some connection to the crop circles that have appeared in former clergyman Tom Logan’s cornfields. The gags fly fast and furious, and the cast members go through their paces with the goofy, deadpan charm typical of characters in ZAZ-ian spoofs. Helping in this regard is the casting of Charlie Sheen, a veteran of Abrahams and Proft’s Hot Shots movies, as Logan. There's no shortage of cameos, either: Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy figure in yet another variation on the Scream telephone-call opening; Zucker regular Leslie Nielsen pops up as an addle-brained U.S. president, and hip-hop luminaries Queen Latifah, Ja Rule, Method Man, and Master P contribute plenty of raucous humor to the proceedings. A fourth Scary Movie -- also helmed by Zucker and co-scripted by Proft -- is in development, but it'll have to be really special to top this rib-tickling, fast-moving farce. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
