Pour Cindy, jeune et jolie reporter, le compte à rebours a déjà commencé. Parce qu'elle a visionné la cassette au pouvoir démoniaque, elle sait qu'il ne lui reste plus que sept jours à vivre. Si elle ne veut pas finir comme sa copine Brenda, elle doit absolument découvrir le secret de cette effroyable prophétie. Mais l'énigme est loin d'être simple et Cindy doit faire face à d'autres mystérieux phénomènes. Pourquoi les extraterrestres ont-ils laissé un étrange message géant dans le champ de Tom ? Pourquoi le Président des Etats-Unis est-il en train de virer barge ? Face aux épreuves, face aux stupéfiantes découvertes qui l'attendent, Cindy va devoir faire preuve de courage et résister au délire ambiant. (texte officiel du distributeur)

The creators obviously have a lot of experience, but they completely lack a sense of humour. Whether or not this is essential for a parody you can decide for yourself.

Zucker took control, brought in Charlie Sheen, and managed to return the series at least partially to where it originally belonged. Into the waters of bearable parody, where I can genuinely laugh. However, the original direction of the Wayans brothers is probably too deeply rooted, because occasionally the same kind of fecal matter resurfaces as in the second one, and even the beautiful Anna Faris cannot save it anymore.

If you want to explore how close you are to a particular film fan in terms of taste and vision, do not compare tragedies or thrillers, because people all over the world are moved by pitiful orphans and dying old men in essentially the same way. Compare comedies instead, because nations, cultures, and even individuals laugh at completely different things, and while tears of laughter may stream down one person's face, another may be indignant at the sacrilegious mockery of sacred ideals. Even David Zucker's early films, which managed to bring many film viewers to ecstasy, seemed quite sober to me and I gave them a neutral rating of 3 stars. With his latest creations, I openly suffer and with each passing minute, a feeling of despair grows in me over the lack of taste, awkwardness, and missed opportunities for great jokes. It could actually work if it weren't so cheap, dismissive, or exaggerated. But the way it is, I give it a very unconvincing 1 star and a 15% overall impression. I will avoid any further attempts by Zucker.

Although it's far from it, you can see that behind the camera is a man who used to know what humour is, and knew how to make parodies. But that doesn’t mean that this film is great in any way.

David Zucker is no longer as great of an author as he was when he worked with his brother and Jim Abrahams as a part of the ZAZ trio, but he still shows that he occasionally has a sense of a good joke and its execution. For me, this part is the best so far in the whole series, but that doesn't change the fact that cinematically it is still at most an average parody. Where are those times of "Please buckle up!" or Mel Brooks' movies?
