This is more than the third installment to the Scary Movie franchise. With Scary Movie 3', David Zucker has brought his brand of zany, slapstick humor to a new generation. The theater I went to was filled with children, ranging from I guess 12 to about 45. Everyone ate it up. I would bet a majority of the young children in there, unfortunately, do not have cool parents, and had never seen a Naked Gun movie, or had the pleasure of watching Top Secret!'. This parental oversight worked to their advantage, however, and they were rolling on the floors. Those who were still in their chairs had sore cheeks and stomachs because their body couldn't handle this amount of humor. If you have seen the Naked Gun movies, or even some of Jim Abrahams films, this humor might seem old
not very fresh
`been done before', but if you can imagine that this is the first time you've watched Leslie Nielsen be oblivious to immediate danger, or the first time you've seen Charlie Sheen shoot out of bed directly into a metal lampshade
twice (for example), then you too will think this is one of the funniest movies you have ever seen. A hundred references to other films, a joke a second, and a ridiculous amount of pain exacted on a young child make this the best studio comedy, pound for pound, of this year, and possibly of the young millennium. Rating: 33/40
