Scary Movie 3 A Movie Review	MPAA Rated - PG-13 It's 1:30 Long A Review by The Dude on the Right

"Scary Movie 3" tries to intertwine the plot lines from four movies, namely "The Ring" (the scary movie with the video tape), "Signs" (the suspenseful movie with crop circles and alien invasions), "8 Mile" (the drama with Eminem), and tossing in some "Matrix" stuff as well. You’re probably thinking to yourself that this isn’t possible, and I’ll be the first to say that, well, it really isn’t because "Scary Movie 3" isn’t so much about developing a plot as much as it’s about making fun of the four different flicks.

In our film we’ve got Anna Faris returning as Cindy Campbell. She’s now a television reporter. You might remember her because she was in the first two Scary Movies. This time we’ve also got David Zucker taking the reins in directing from Keenan Ivory Wayans. Anyway, it seems Cindy is trying to piece together a strange crop sign at a local farm and a mysterious videotape that if you watch it, well, you will die in seven days. Along the way she’s falling in love with the rapper dude, George (Simon Rex), trying to care for her nephew, and trying to save the world. Alright, you know what, I’m not going to try to really explain any more of the plot in this movie because, well, it’s so far-fetched that it really doesn’t matter. All you really need to know is that "Pootie Tang" plays an important role in tying "The Ring" and "Signs" stories together.

But is the movie funny?

That’s a big affirmative if you cannot take anything seriously in this film. Take, for example, a scene in the television newsroom that erupts into a beer commercial ad for "the twins." Take also, for example, a scene where Cindy is using a knife under the door to see the aliens (ala "Signs"), and while she’s kneeling down, the aliens use their knife under the door to look up her skirt. Yes, it’s cheap humor, but from the man who helped bring "Airplane", "Top Secret!", and "The Naked Gun" to the screen, it’s what you really can expect. There’s even a nod to "Airplane" in a scene where Leslie Nielsen, playing the President, opens the door to the basement and says to Cindy and George, and this probably isn’t the exact quote, but it’s something like "Good luck you two. We’re all counting on you."

Look, if you can’t be easily amused you might think you wasted an hour and a half of your time. Don’t expect a plot or coherent story, just expect easy humor that is sometimes gross-out type (boys trying to revive a corpse), sometimes a quick line ("She’s a girl"), and sometimes a surprise (The Architect). Not nearly as much of a story as the first to Scary Movies, but I laughed a lot, chuckled a lot, and reaffirmed that I am easily amused. For me it’s 3 stars out of 5 for "Scary Movie 3." Definitely a different style than the Wayans work on the first two, Zucker still knows how to make you laugh, and if you’re a dude you might as well waste 5 minutes of your time for the scene with Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy – big boobs galore, sadly in clothes, but big boobs nonetheless.

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
