The Naked Gun - Reviews

Here’s hoping they’re all back for more crime-busting and sidesplitting shifts.

...it does prove how effective these films’ formula can be when followed properly.

...shamelessly leaves no sight gag or setup untried. Leslie Nielsen would be proud.

With more jokes than you can possibly catch in a single viewing, The Naked Gun proudly brings cinematic groaners and outrageous sight gags into the 2020s.

...won’t go down in history as a classic, but it’s enjoyable, ‘don’t need to think’ entertainment and a nostalgic throwback to the spoof films of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

...a 90-minute hoot that bodes well for more to come.

The main reason that “The Naked Gun” is consistently smile-inducing is because of how wonderfully Neeson’s deadpan gravitas works with the material.

...for fans of slapstick and absurdity, it’s a welcome return to the Police Squad cinematic universe.

...shine on, Naked Gun – save the world, and maybe the studio comedy in the process.

Nielsen's gumshoes fit Neeson like a glove, resulting in a hysterically silly sequel that ably reboots the franchise.

...one of the stupidest films I’ve ever seen. I loved it.

Liam Neeson steps into the clown shoes of Leslie Nielsen for this zany throwback spoof.

Quotes will be traded back and forth as sacred shibboleths for years to come.

...is a pure and beautiful return to form – just over 30 years since the franchise last wore its badge at a theater near you.

...if you're not vibing with one joke, you don’t have to wait long for another one to come along. The comedy density here is thicker than a well-stuffed beaver.
