Scary Movie 3 - Save The Best For Last

Written by Michelle Mauriere
Published October 30, 2003

I've never really liked the Scary Movies, but at least I can say for myself - this is the best one of them. After all I don't understand the success of this movie. It's mostly just about lame jokes. The part in which they imitated 8 Mile took way too long. It's interesting to watch it in the actual 8 Mile movie, but way too long in Scary Movie 3. I also may be wrong, but I thought at the end of the Eminem part that white KKK-looking hat was quite some racist element they used to get through with a joke. Though I liked the scene in which they imitated the The Ring videotape and turned the ring into the hole of a toilet etc. It looked pretty funny, and once I really understood why the people felt disgusted about The Ring. LOL, I also liked the part when Queen Latifah pulled the woman in The Ring video out of the TV-screen to beat the shit out of her. Funny ideas, even though they weren't really surprising. The scene about Michael Jackson didn't seem all that bad as I'd expected it to be. At the very end of the movie the outcome is that the MJ-guy is not really MJ anyway, but just an alien that had been dressed up as MJ and says goodbye then by kicking his leg a last time.

I thought part 1 was funny. Part 2 was only good because it had Kathleen Robertson (of 90210 fame). Part 3 was just plain aweful. I was quite disappointed as it was done by David Zucker, who was a genius with Airplane! and the Naked Guns. Oh and yes I agree, that toilet/ring thing was probably the funniest part.

i think david zucker is quite a good director. and i thought in part 3 the storyline was just best to follow.

Oh trust me though, this isn't "last." SM4 is on the way.

There's just so much to make fun of.

Ouh... I thought they were promoting it as a trilogy only. Though after the success of 3 I guess they'll be happy to make 4.

successful trilogies often morph into tetralogies
