Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

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.

rotten:
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.

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

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