Scary Movie 3

Once upon a time, David Zucker made Airplane! and it was good. Later, he made the Naked Gun movies and they were good. At least at first, there's a real sense of diminishing returns there and that's not even touching on the whole O.J. Simpson thing, which has really made those movies difficult to return to, but I digress. Scary Movie 3 is terrible. It's dumb. It's cheap looking. And it's not funny. But the greatest shame of it all might be that it manages to taint the legacies of Leslie Nielsen and George Carlin, both of whom appear in this movie. Carlin only ever appeared in a handful of films during his career and, regardless of how you feel about Kevin Smith's filmography, this is easily his worst one.
