It gave me about 10 big laughs and 20 small laughs and as many smiles. That`s value for time and money spent.

In the years since he first played Drebin, Nielsen has deepened the role, made it more subtle, more universal, more paramount.

The two Zuckers and Abrahams have, surprisingly, forgotten a principle of parody that they taught everyone else. Namely, that the jokes have to fit, and that they have to refer to the target -- in this instance police movies.

The proud regard in which this farce holds bad taste makes it endearing.

The Naked Gun is hugely funny, but it`s also liberating-precisely because it centers its aim on that cold, closed system and blows it apart. The straight lines are shattered; the empty spaces in the images are packed full until they burst.

Like the ZAZ lads' other films, this is a movie made for a VCR Saturday night. They supply the jokes; you bring the microwave popcorn and modest expectations.

Audience Reviews for The Naked Gun
-
Apr 15, 2018Leslie Nielson is hilarious with his deadpan face and playing the clumsiest cop since Inspector Clouseau in a very funny parody of film noirs and James Bond movies that is a considerable step above Airplane! and Top Secret! in terms of more well-inspired jokes and gags.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jul 10, 2014A relentlessly goofy slapstick comedy that carries nothing in the way of substance and feels downright mean-spirited at times, but it benefits from a dedicated performance by the hilarious Leslie Nielsen.Isaac H Super Reviewer

Aug 15, 2013The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! is a hilarious slapstick comedy. The story follows Detective Frank Drebin of LAPD's elite Police Squad unit as he investigates a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth during her royal visit to America. Starring Leslie Nielsen, Ricardo Montalban, O.J. Simpson, and Priscilla Presley, the film has a strong cast. The comedy consists mostly of sight gags and physical humor, but it works (for the most part). Still, at times the jokes get a little too broad and juvenile. Depending on how one feels about slapstick, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! is either brilliantly hysterical or a mass of stupidity.Dann M Super Reviewer

Aug 29, 2012One of the funniest films to exist. This superb comedy proves that Leslie Nielsen is the King of slapstick. With so many laughs, this may most likely leave you with stitches from constant laughter.Samuel R Super Reviewer
