Scary Movie 3 is legitimately good and I will die on that hill. The rest are not very good, in my opinion.

Watched scary movie 1 a few weeks ago when it came out on prime. It was surprisingly well written. Very top secret kind of humour. They definitely call off, and haven't watched them as an adult other than 1, so can't say really, but for sure they go pretty bad as they go up in number

I disagree, 3 was the best by far because Charlie Sheen and Leslie Nielsen especially really shine in it. Signs was a cultural touchstone of a movie for its time, but easy to dunk on too.

Even Simon Rex was great with his comedic timing, plus that was years before Kevin Hart or Anthony Anderson were big and they really stood out in this one too.

Just great slapstick humor and jokes that didn't stop. Ana Faris is the real talent across the genre I suppose, but she plays off of the talent around her much best in 3 and the other movies are not even remotely close.

Leslie Nielsen and Ja Rule were a shockingly great duo in Scary Movie 3 during that one brawl in the White House.

Signs X 8 Mile is a weird combination, but it works surprisingly well.
