Is
anyone keeping track of Leslie Nielsen's bad
flicks?
I
was a fan of the first Scary Movie, and enjoyed
the second film quite a bit. So, even with mixed
reviews I found myself looking forward to this
film. With the Zucker's taking over the film,
the potential looked pretty darn good here...I
found this film to be an amazingly, stunningly
disappointingly unfunny film. So much talent, so
little reward...Of course, every unfunny comedy
film these days has to have Leslie Nielsen in
the cast...but, really...it's the leads here who
are just amazingly awful. Starting off with
Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy and moving into
the likes of Charlie Sheen and Simon Rex...well,
okay, I'd expect a bad comedy from most of these
folks...but, come on Charlie...you've proven you
can do decent comedy...what made you sign up for
this garbage?
Then there's the others...some usually
reliable...like Jeremy Piven...what a
waste...Darrell Hammond, Anthony Anderson,
Regina Hall, Ajay Naidu (I don't care how small
his role is...I always love this guy), Simon
Cowell appears as himself...(and he has the
nerve to bash William Hung?), George Carlin,
Queen Latifah, Eddie Griffin (Okay, he's in
every bad comedy, too) and a bunch of rappers
who don't bear mentioning here.
The script is pointless and unfunny...the
pacing...well, who really cares? I did not laugh
one time during this film. Not once. This is not
quite a "Gigli" fiasco, but I can't justify even
moving it into a "D" range film.

TC Candler's Comment
If you
combined all the laughs from Scary Movies 1, 2
and 3, you might squeeze one star out of me.
This threequel continues the spoof saga in
memorably bad fashion.
