Comedy
A slapstick spoof of police thrillers and action films by the makers of "Airplane." Lieutenant Frank Drebin, comic cop and master car-crasher, must protect Queen Elizabeth II, when world terrorists target her for assassination during her visit to the United States. Despite this high-level assignment, Frank still has time to fall in love with a younger woman along the way.

"You laugh, and then you laugh at yourself for laughing (...) 'The Naked Gun' is an utterly goofy movie and a lot of fun (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"Some movies make you laugh. Some movies don’t. 'The Naked Gun' definitely falls in the first category. | ||||
"A brilliantly irreverent comedy overflowing with quite extraordinary levels of absurdity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"David Zucker, who directed 'The Naked Gun,' has given it a cheerful, messy style that never quite matches the ebullience of the writing. But high spirits may be all that a film like this really needs" | ||||
"It's Nielsen's show: with an unaccountable flair for the needlessly dramatic, he holds the entire shambling absurdity together by treating everything as if it were a matter of life or death" | ||||
"Not quite up to Airplane! or Top Secret!, but there are still laughs aplenty." | ||||
"The Naked Gun is crass, broad, irreverent, wacky fun -- and absolutely hilarious from beginning to end." |
