As the audience, we’re the ones left holding the bag. It’s been nearly fifteen years since Zucker left off his spoof legacy with Naked Gun 33 1/3 and he seems to have lost his touch. Zucker took a backseat, letting his actors take control of the film and unfortunately most of them have absolutely no clue what they’re doing. Scary Movie 3.5 is chock full of lame joke after joke and one bad spoof after the next. The movie sucks, his performance sucks, and he seems to know it. The rest of the film you can see the pain on his face. Sheen has the honor of being in the middle of one of the film’s funnier moments involving a railroad tie, two bowling balls and statue of Jesus. They’re the only ones coming close to the kind of passable humor that made his older spoof movies enjoyable. It would seem Nielsen rewrote some of the scenes in which he appears. Spoof veterans Leslie Nielsen and Charlie Sheen, who could’ve made much better choices in projects, do their best with what they’ve got, but even they can only do so much. He’s a sort of token black rapper character that pops up from time to time to muddle things up, dragging down both the comedy and cleverness of the movie several notches. I would love to explain Anthony Andersons’s role to you except that he doesn’t really have one. She’s let off the hook as her character dies early on, replaced by a corpse that becomes the source of way too many tired physical gags. Her co-star Regina Hall also returns as Brenda Meeks. The only thing she gets to work with is a confused deer-in-the-headlights look which gets really old within the first ten minutes. How exactly Anna Faris has been suckered into playing this limp role three times is beyond me. Anna Faris has been the leading lady for all three movies in the Scary Movie trilogy and for 3.5 she reprises her role as Cindy Campbell, the dimwitted piñata who is targeted for most of the story’s undercooked horror-gags.
The movie’s biggest flaw lies with its characters and the shameful cast members tapped to play them.
