The Naked Gun

Very rarely do you see a remake/reboot succeed in film. They may make a lot of money but they almost always fail to capture the same energy and passion as the originals. Most reboots are made for the express purpose of making you the audience remember the fun times of the original and purely serve to be nostalgia bait. This movie is not that.

It's pretty damn impressive the way the creators of this movie managed to capture the energy and tone of the original naked gun films to a tee. Without nostalgia baiting (while there are some fun callbacks) this movie stands on its own. To be a funny spoof movie in the classic vain of the Zuckers, one thing is the most important: Clever writing. You can't do a spoof movie like this without having constant bits and clever puns. These guys delivered. They came ready with tons of clever gaffs, sight gags, and quick puns that keep the audience waiting for the next joke. Couldn't nail the energy of a Zucker comedy better.

Casting was perfect. Pamela Anderson was a standout for sure. Liam Neeson was also the perfect person to play Frank Drebin Jr.

Overall incredibly funny movie that simultaneously pays homage to the original while also providing its own worth in comedy. Stellar job from this whole team.

If you're a fan of the original Naked Gun movies you will thoroughly enjoy this.

Comedy movies seem to be nearing extinction. And this type of stoopid-funny humor has been nonexistent. Long gone are the days of the Austin Powers', Zoolander's, Kung Pow's, and Scary Movie's. Until now.

The Naked Gun is extremely stoopid in the best way possible. There are so many times I was shaking my head at the absurdity of what I was watching. It's cleverly random and strategically obnoxious.

I laughed out loud too many times to count. I would estimate an 85% hit rate for me. Combine that with the nonstop quick rate of comedic attempts, maybe 5-10 per minute. It was a good time.

It has an awesome musical score by beast composter Lorne Balfe, and some well-shot action scenes that feel cinematic. These things are completely unnecessary for this type of comedy movie. But it made the experience that much better.

If you're a fan of stoopid-funny, definitely check this out.

I usually don't write reviews but I just came here to say that I had a very good time watching this picture and I feel that it is only slightly behind the original movies.

Liam Neeson kills the role and most of the Gags are on point and not out of place or too much even in modern times.

The only thing that it lacks is some background action like the original movies had them I think, so most of the fun stuff usually happens in the foreground which doesn't mean there isn't anything to spot aside from that.

I recommend this to anyone who liked the originals or this kind of humor in general. The trailers don't show all the gags, some are even different which surprised me!

Theres no other type of movie like this. Non-stop different types of jokes.

Some of them pg, some of them for adults, some wordplay jokes, some running jokes throughout the movie, some of them you might laugh for how dumb the joke is while they act serious, some is how ridiculous they act in a serious situation.

Everyone probably will laugh at something. It's a homage to the originals. Id watch a sequel.

What a pleasant surprise that movie was. It really brought back the humour and the spirit of the old movies while still bringing its own fresh flair to it. Not every joke might land but there are so many of them in the movie and most of them worked for me. It has been a while since I saw a movie so eager to make you laugh.
