Negative Positive
Title: Entertaining, but that's all.
Review: In line with its predecessors, "Scream 3" employs the same devices and theme to produce an entertaining blend of new age horror and roll your eyes humor. The acting is adequate and characters are what we would expect in this trilogy. Perceptions vary as to what is scary or humorous, and this is one of those movies that most people view with tongue in cheek. That being said, there is a degree of mystery and suspense here of the whodunnit variety as with the prior two that is worth mentioning, and it is entertaining for that and its slasher qualities. Interestingly enough, this movie takes the actual trilogy theme to heart in that on the one level takes, it takes itself seriously and on the other, it pokes fun at itself, but that is what the "Scream" movies are all about. Ultimately, while the movie plays out as a horror movie, it is simply not scary despite its entertainment value.
