# Scary Movie 3 (2003)

Sep 26, 2025 | Rated 2.5 out of 5 | Dir. David Zucker

I hate to say it, but this is still genuinely funny. Revisiting this after writing it off for the last 20 years, and I’m shocked at how much I laughed. It’s 2025 and this thing still lands.

Total comfort movie. Anna Faris is absolutely hilarious - her commitment to every ridiculous bit is unmatched. It’s criminal that Regina Hall isn’t in more of it, but what we get is gold.

Loved this as a kid, dismissed it as an adult, but I’m back baby. Sometimes you just need to embrace the absurdity.

(BTW - I’ll never forget or forgive what Chris Pratt did to Anna Faris.)
