But with co-writers Craig Mazin and Pat Proft bringing their innate silliness to the project, and with David Zucker at the helm (and also contributing gags left and right, at least according to the commentary), Scary Movie 3 is a decidedly more consistent enterprise than either of its predecessors, and it even manages something akin to actual "smart" comedy along the way. Of course it's hard to completely remove a parody from sexual and adolescent territory, so don't go into Scary Movie 3 (or in this case the slightly more sexual and adolescent unrated Scary Movie 3.5) thinking that those elements have completely disappeared, for they most certainly have not. The films were often undeniably funny, but they were also slipshod, overly juvenile and obsessed with sex and other adolescent issues. The first two Scary Movie outings were of course Wayans Brothers offerings, with all that that implies. What a difference new writers and a director can make.
