Just middling funny, with no truly memorable high points and a sum impact that goes poof! before you've left the parking garage.
Overview
In the third installment of the Scary Movie franchise, news anchorwoman Cindy Campbell has to investigate mysterious crop circles and killing video tapes, and help the President stop an alien invasion in the process.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Zucker's slapstick may have the satiric delicacy of a chainsaw lobotomy, but it hasn't harmed the franchise.
Zucker and company keep up such a frantic pace, the next laugh is never too far off.
Too often even Scary Movie 3's cleverest bits degenerate from affectionate satire into mere imitation of their sources.
A hit-or-miss affair, but the gags that connect really connect.
