-
The sense of humor is juvenile to the point of getting unfunny and even ridiculous sometimes, with some (actually many) of the gags falling completely flat, but at least this insane parody has a lot of inspired moments and numerous delicious references that compensate for all that.
-
Its slapstick gags and jokes are essential in cinematic comedy. Airplane! offers the outrageous and unapologetic humor that transcended throughout the 1980s. 4.5/5
-
The 20-30 minute mark is a little rough, but everything else is comedic gold.
-
The reason for it's continued popularity is the easily quotable dialogue, and while the constant quoting of it for over 30 years may have inadvertently robbed the film of some of its comedic impact, the sophomoric absurdity always entertains me and the spoof material still works because much of what its mocking is genre cliches instead of just making references (although its worth noting that some of the reference humor here is pretty inspired).
