Leans Traditional
Primary
Scary Movie 3 is a broad parody film focused on slapstick and spoofing popular culture, rather than engaging in political commentary. Its humor is derived from subverting movie tropes and absurd situations, making its core objective apolitical.
Scary Movie 3 features a diverse ensemble cast, with many prominent minority actors in supporting roles, though its main parody characters align with the racial identities of the original roles being spoofed. The film's comedic narrative does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or center explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Scary Movie 3 features minor LGBTQ+ portrayals that are primarily used for comedic mockery. The film employs harmful stereotypes and slurs, presenting queer identity as a source of ridicule without any counterbalancing positive elements, resulting in a problematic net impact.
The film uses Christian figures and tropes, such as Father Tom and a 'chosen one' prophecy, for comedic parody. These elements are consistently depicted as absurd, bumbling, or ineffective, reinforcing a stereotype of religious figures and practices as foolish rather than offering any nuanced or affirming portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Scary Movie 3 primarily parodies characters from films like The Ring and Signs, alongside original characters from the Scary Movie franchise. All parodied characters maintain their established gender from the source material, and no new characters represent a gender swap of a canonically established figure.
Scary Movie 3 parodies characters from films like The Ring and Signs. All parodied characters maintain the same race as their original counterparts. Original characters from the Scary Movie franchise also retain their established races.
