If you've seen Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, then you know the entire plot of Scary Movie. That's okay, though, because this is a parody, and it helps to know the story in order to be able to get the jokes. No, the biggest surprise here is not the story as much as the amount of full-frontal male nudity. Really, in addition to all the dick jokes (and the ass jokes and fart jokes), there's a couple of shots of the male member, one of which is erect and used as a weapon. Scary Movie somehow ended up with an R rating, which in a sense is groundbreaking; perhaps our ratings board is loosening up after all.
But is it funny? That's the most important question, and the answer to that is yes. In the vein of Airplane!, with a dash of the Farrelly brothers, Scary Movie keeps throwing jokes at you one after another. The law of averages says some of them have to hit, and enough of them do to keep the movie entertaining. Unlike the makers of Airplane!, however, the Wayans brothers aren't making this movie out of a love of the genre, and unlike the Farrelly brothers, they don't make fun of retarded people with any sort of respect, so the humor throughout feels a lot uglier. Still, there are enough funny scenes in Scary Movie to make the viewing experience worthwhile. Special credit must go to Lochlyn Munro as Greg, the over-the-top jock, who steals the movie up until the time he's gotta die.--Andy Spletzer
Description
This hilarious, must-see comedy smash places Carmen Electra (TV's BATTLEBOTS), Marlon Wayans (SENSELESS), Jon Abrahams (BOILER ROOM, THE FACULTY), and some of today's hottest young stars in a wickedly funny send-up of today's most popular horror movies! A familiar-looking group of teenagers find themselves being stalked by a more-than-vaguely recognizable masked killer! As the victims begin to pile up and the laughs pile on, none of your favorite scary movies escape the razor-sharp satire of this outrageously funny parody! With Shannon Elizabeth, Shawn Wayans, and Cheri Oteri adding sidesplitting performances, there's nothing to fear in this scary movie ... unless you're afraid of laughing too much.

The Wayans Brothers return with another horror-flick parody, this one taking shots at The Exorcist, Hannibal, and House on Haunted Hill, along with non-horror fare like Charlie's Angels. In addition to gags (and I do mean gag) about innumerable bodily functions, there are slyer jabs at Thomas Jefferson and Raging Bull. As in Scary Movie, the strongest humor comes from making fun of the inane behavior of characters in horror movies. Assisting Shawn and Marlon Wayans are Anna Faris, Kathleen Robertson (in the Carmen Electra role, providing the T&A), and David Cross, as well as Tori Spelling, Chris Elliott, James Woods (as an exorcist with bowel trouble), Andy Richter, and poor Tim Curry, who probably never thought his career would come to this. --Bret FetzerDescription
All your favorite SCARY MOVIE characters are back in a laugh-packed sequel that scares up even more irreverent fun than the original! Marlon Wayans (SCARY MOVIE, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM), SHAWN WAYANS (SCARY MOVIE, DON'T BE A MENACE...), and Anna Faris (SCARY MOVIE) lead a stellar cast that takes extreme pleasure in skewering Hollywood's most frightening feature films and spoofing popular culture! Also starring Regina Hall (SCARY MOVIE, LOVE AND BASKETBALL), Christopher Kennedy Masterson (TV'S MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE), Tori Speling (TV's BEVERLY HILLS 90210) ... plus Tim Curry (CHARLIE'S ANGELS), Chris Elliott (THE NUTTY PROFESSOR II: THE KLUMPS), and James Woods (ANY GIVEN SUNDAY), nothing's sacred and anything goes in this outlandish must-see comedy hit!Customer Reviews:

Some comedy is like a scalpel; the Scary Movie series is a hand grenade, spewing bodily fluids and big-breasted women in all directions as they lampoon the latest horror. In Scary Movie 4's case, the main targets are War of the Worlds, The Village, The Grudge, Saw, and Tom Cruise jumping all over Oprah's couch (the scariest of the lot). Along the way, potshots get taken at non-horror fare like Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby, as well as obvious targets like Michael Jackson and George W. Bush, among others. Anna Faris (Lost in Translation) and Regina Hall (The Honeymooners) return as the central characters wandering through a crazy quilt of horror scenarios, joined by Craig Bierko (Cinderella Man) doing a dead-on parody of Cruise at his most manic. Cameos include everyone from Charlie Sheen to Shaquille O'Neal to Carmen Electra. Some of it's funny, some of it's not, but there's a generally buoyant zaniness that comes from director David Zucker, one of the creators of Airplane!, which started the whole firehose-of-jokes aesthetic. --Bret FetzerDescription

This freewheeling parody tosses horror movies, Eminem, The Matrix, and much more into a cinematic blender. Scary Movie 3 centers around Cindy (Anna Faris, Lost in Translation), a bubble-headed young newscaster who believes that a deadly videotape has some mysterious connection to the aliens who've been making crop circles in the cornfield of a local farmer (Charlie Sheen, Young Guns), whose brother (Simon Rex) hopes to win a local rap contest. Along for the ride are Queen Latifah, George Carlin, Anthony Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Jeremy Piven, Camryn Manheim, Ja Rule, dozens of rap stars, and Leslie Nielsen as the President of the U.S. No need to have seen the first two Scary Movie flicks--though a few of the characters recur, the movie leapfrogs from gag to goofy gag, plundering The Ring, Signs, and The Others as needed. Silly and slapdash, but with a decent dose of laughs. --Bret FetzerDescription
Now, add to your comedy collection the unrated Collector's Series version of SCARY MOVIE 3, the outrageous motion picture that had both moviegoers and critics crying ... from laughter! Charlie Sheen (TWO AND A HALF MEN), Anna Faris (SCARY MOVIE 1 & 2), Eddie Griffin (MY BABY'S DADDY), Queen Latifah (CHICAGO), Regina Hall (SCARY MOVIE 1 & 2), and Denise Richards (UNDERCOVER BROTHER) take SCARY MOVIE 3.5 to new levels of twisted comedy. With the help of nonstop celebrity cameos -- including Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, George Carlin, Leslie Nielsen, and a who's who of rap artists -- thrillers, blockbusters, and pop culture get their best goosing yet. Rapid-fire jokes and funny bone-chilling suspense are sure signs this outrageous comedy will have you laughing your head off ... once you experience this longer, funnier, and more explicit unrated version!~~~Customer Reviews:

Most kids know that a step into Arthur's world feels good. They can relate to the endearing aardvark with the oversized glasses. He alternately loves and loathes his pesky sister, D.W., and struggles with common childhood dilemmas and insecurities. The engaging stories, which focus on a group of friends during their third-grade travails, have been made into a hit television series based on the best-selling books by Marc Brown. Here, three 15-minute episodes take a humorous, yet respectful, look at childhood fears--from spooky stories to nighttime noises--in an effort to embolden young viewers to face their phobias. In "Night Fright," Binky Barnes is afraid of the dark, but he's even more fearful that his friends will find out he sleeps with a nightlight. When Arthur discovers Binky's deepest secret, their friendship is put to an important test. In "What Scared Sue Ellen?" Arthur and pals get a case of the jitters when they hear an eerie noise in the woods. With friends rallied in support, Sue Ellen summons all her courage for a scary showdown. Lastly, "The Fright Stuff" brings together spooky pranksters just in time for a "Scare Your Pants Off" costume party. In a boys-against-girls battle of wits, Arthur and friends realize that even practical jokes have limits and can come back to haunt you. Arthur should score for children ages 4 to 8. --Lynn GibsonCustomer Reviews:
