The Naked Gun: From the Files of the Police Squad! - 8 stars out of 10
This
cop parody hits just about every visual gag in the book, while carrying
on a dialogue of constant innuendo and stupidity. And it is amazing.
It is not safe to look away for a single moment or you'll miss at least 3
jokes. Leslie Nielson is incredible in this slapstick role, landing
somewhere between stupidity and loveability. No object is safe from
destruction with Lt. Frank Drebin around, whether it is a $20,000 fish
or his very own car. This film is filled with classic comedic moments,
from O.J. Simpson getting shot (and subsequently falling into every
thinkable unfortunate situation) to Nielsen's flashy umpire calls and
the player piano going crazy and he tries to catch all of the Ming
vases. "The Naked Gun" is not intended to be taken seriously and each
gag (whether subtle or obnoxiously obvious) will have you laughing from
start to finish (and beyond).
