DVD Review: Parody Movie 3
Summary: 4 Stars

This time around, the Wayans brothers have moved away, and Robert K. Weiss, Craig Mazin & Pat Proft and producer David Zucker have taken over. David Zucker also brought us the great parody films "Kentucky Fried Movie", "Naked Gun's" "Airplane/(Flying HIgh), "hot shot's" ect... Which is the producer youd probably most want to take over in the parody feild of film making.

This movie is pretty much a parody of a tied combination of "The Ring" and "Signs", "The Ring" in parts has been parodyd very well and hillariously! I wasnt so impressed with "Signs" tho. Also there are small parody's to "The Matrix", "8 Mile", "The Others", "American Idol" and various others... also a parody to "The Hulk" and more "Matrix" if you watch the alterenite ending!

I thought the movie had a bit of a slow start, the opening scene with Pamala Anderson and Jenny McArthy I thought was pretty stupid, tho i'm sure alot of guys would like to see them in next to nothing on the screen at the same time; not me, but it is good that Pamala has a sense of humour about a certin video she was in!!!! Then moving on into the returning Anna Farris as Cindy Cambell, who is now an anchor women at a TV station, who is in the care of her nefue or somthing? And she basicly falls victom to the RING type of events. The only other returning actor I think is Rigina Hall as Brenda, and she has one hell of a funny funeral! Tho I read that it distrubed some veiwers, my sympothy goes out to you, but i thought it was one of the funniest things in the film! Also bringing in Zucker fav's Leslie Neilson and Charlie Sheen to come on board and help out with the movie helped a bit. It is good to see Leslie back in the saddle of the parody genre. His performence isnt all super funny, but still it's good to see him back where he belongs. Also a pretty large amount of cameo's by alot actors, comedians, rappers ect.. all in all, the movie isnt as funny as part 1, but alot better then part 2! Tho I thought the first 10 minute's where pretty stupid, it did get better, the ending was decent enough to leave me thinking that the movie was worth getting on DVD when it came out to complete the collection! I must add tho, Some of the jokes I could see coming from a mile away, I knew they where going to happen before they did, either it's because it's so obvious? or i'm too familuer with Zucker's comic concept's? Oh, somthing I dont know if any one picked up on, but i think quite funny is this movie also introduces an actor Simon Rex to a leading man in this film. I dont know if it was intentional, or not because I dont have audio commentary to find out of it got mentioned, but Simon was in a film called "Shriek: If you know what I did last Friday the 13th" which was a parody of "Scary Movie 1"! It just seem's funny to me that he would be in a movie parody playing to a movie's seaqull he would end up doing a few years later! HAHAHA

The bonus features are ok, there delted/alternate scenes, showing some really weird stuff, and some funny stuff that I thought they should have left in the movie, with parodys to "The Hulk" and even the guy from the "Sub-Way" commercials! Then there's a pretty dull out-take reel, and some featurettes... suprising tho, there isnt a trailer!!! I dont think there's any eggs either :( but overall, if you like Zucker films in the past, then you will probably like SM3.

I'd give a reveiw on the Audio Commentary: But I didnt get to hear it :( on the Australian (regioun 4) release, the track that is supposed to have the audio commentary has Italian audio there instead. They have made a boo boo there!!! Track 2 and 4 are both the same Italian audio. Beware of that any one buying Australian (Regioun 4) versions if you actually care to listen to the commentary?! cause it's not there!

But if you like the more R rated styles of the Wayans brothers, then you may not like it, it has been tonned down alot to make it a PG rated movie. Tho there still are it's amounts of swearing, Rent it before you buy, i'd recomend you do that if your interested in the film, there's too many mixed opinions to say buy or dont buy, just rent it to make up your own mind if youd wanna own it or not?
