I never thought I would dislike a "Scary Movie" flick. The first two installments were hilarious, I have the first one on DVD. So went wrong here? Well, different writers, different director, different actors, and lack of any good spoof material in the last few years makes for a rare bad spoof movie.

The only thing to look for in here is the jokes, so that's about all there is to talk about. Some of them are admitedly funny, I mean with as many jokes as there are, some of them have to be funny. Some of "The Ring" spoofs were the best, including the fight with Queen Latifah and the woman in the mirror on the tape...HEHE...

Anyways, there is also something wrong when you look at a scene in a comedy and tell yourself "That would have been way funnier if..." Some of the jokes are just plain lame! I have no clue what the 8 Mile ripoff had to do with anything! There wasn't even any jokes there, just some appearance by "superstars" Fat Joe and Simon! And Wacko is in here too pretty much embarrasing himself further, and Leslie Neilson seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the movie...I am not looking for the flick to make any sense, but at least be real funny. I heard it grossed more money than the first two in the opening weekend. That's an insult to the first two, which were real funny flicks. If you're in the mood for a spoof, rent the first two.

In short:
Comedy: Some good stuff, but a lot of it falls flat
Violence/language: Yes and Yes
Nudity/sex: Sex references, else none
High Points: Some laugh out loud scenes
Low Points: Falls way short of first 2 movies, nothing makes any sense, some punch lines really bad
