Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Perfectly adorable
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreThis is the last film in the "Naked Gun" series, the original of which was one of the best comedies I saw in my whole life. I am starting to miss Leslie Nielsen and it's sad that he was in so many awful movies in his later life like "Mr. Magoo", the first film I ever saw that I sincerely hated. At least he got some great ones under his belt. While not as good as the original, this was better than "Airplane II: The Sequel". It's great to have the most famous actor back. It does take awhile to get good, but we do get a great finale eventually. As usual, we get joke after joke most of which are good. It is weird watching this as it's probably the last time we ever saw O. J. Simpson before his infamous trial. I could just go on all day about the best jokes. My favorite might have been when James Earl Jones said one of the films nominated for Best Picture did poorly at the box office. Drebin (Nielsen) finds out that the Best Picture envelope has the literal bomb and says, "It's the bomb!" causing the crowd to cheer. It's great we get some characters annoyed by the wacky antics too. ***
View MoreThe entire crew behind and in front of the camera returns for this third outing (the fourth if you want to include the original TV series), but this time the film had more jokes that seemed to misfire. In the plus column for the film Leslie Nielsen is hilariously serious, the underused Fred Ward joins the cast, and comedy icon Kathleen Freeman has a supporting part. In the minus column, the annoying Anna Nicole Smith also joins the cast. Worth watching for fans of the series, but nothing great.
View MoreAfter many years serving in Police Squad, and numerous criminals gunned down, Frank Drebin has retired but still dreams of fighting crime. When Police Squad learn that incarcerated terrorist Rocco Dillon is planning another outrage; to discover his target they ask Frank to return for one last case much to the annoyance of his wife Jane. Frank goes to prison undercover and is put in Rocco's cell; he isn't there for long though as shortly after befriending Rocco the pair break out. Once out they are picked up by Rocco's mother then meet up with his voluptuous girlfriend Tanya. It emerges that Rocco is planning to bomb the Oscar ceremony with a device planted in one of the winners envelopes if Frank is to stop him he will have to get up on stage and retrieve the envelope hopefully nobody will notice!As one would expect this film is full of laughs from start to finish. It opens with a very funny spoof of a famous scene from 'The Untouchables', itself a reference to the 'Odessa Steps' scene in 'Battleship Potemkin. Plenty more films are spoofed/referenced throughout the film; most notably 'White Heat', 'The Great Escape' and 'Thelma and Louise' these are fun extras for those who get the references but it doesn't matter if one doesn't realise another film is being referenced as they are funny in their own right. The humour is of course very forced but that doesn't matter it is trying to be silly fun and succeeds. Leslie Nielsen is great as Drebin; managing to act straight even when his character is being utterly ridiculous. Some of the supporting cast are a bit ropy but that doesn't matter as they provide some extra accidental laughs. The humour is fairly slapstick and for the most part inoffensive; there are some gags that make the film unsuitable for younger viewers unless parents feel comfortable explaining the joke about Frank giving numerous 'samples' at a fertility clinic! Overall a funny conclusion to this hilarious trilogy.
View MoreLt. Drebin and Nordberg are at it again. This film makes fun of every police and prison movie ever made not to mention "Thelma and Louise" and the "Crying Game" (20 years before it was even made!) It's got it all: Love scenes, "precious bodily fluid" and crotch jokes, self-abuse, transsexuals and the infamous "gumball" opening titles. Like "Blazing Saddles", this will truly insult everyone. Lt. Drebin has become "Mr. Mom" to his lawyer wife Jane (Priscilla Presley) and he must come out of retirement to help the Police Squad foil another terrorist act by the evil "Pap Schmear". As before, the bumbling Drebin uncovers a terrible plot; to blow up everyone at the Academy Awards. Not exactly an original idea. A ton of actual celebrities, including Vanna White, Pia Zadora, Weird Al, Rachel Welsh and Mary Lou Retton. Anna Nicole Smith plays the mobster's gun moll to the hilt, with a bit of "something extra". Stereotypes of "Ma Barker" and "James Cagney" as well. No, that isn't Arthur Fiedler conducting, but it sure looks like him. Very funny but very uneven. In order to enjoy this parody, you have to separate the "Nordberg" character from O.J. Simpson, especially with the delivery room ending! There is not enough for George Kennedy and the bumbling Police Squad to do. It's mostly Frank on his own. Great backstage stunt work at the end, as Drebin and the bad guy "fly" up to the top of the stage catwalk rigging via the curtain counterweights and ropes. Only 82 minutes but worth it! Probably rated "R" for content.
