Richard Propes' Review

F

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.
