    Not as hilarious or fun as the first two, kind of disappointing that the main characters from the first two, is different in this 3rd sequel.

    This is one of the most fun movies I've seen. Funny, scary, romantic and includes a great song by a Monk about 'bullshit.' CGS is great-check out the other two as well.

    I've seen this many times, and the more older I get the more I appreciate it. It seems like fluff, but there are great story elements in there. Plus the music is spectacular.
