L'agent fait la farce

"The Naked Gun" tries to bring back the over-the-top parody and slapstick chaos of the originals, but it never fully reaches the same level of comedic brilliance. There are some genuinely funny gags that capture the absurd spirit of the franchise, yet too often the humor feels uneven - swinging between clever moments and jokes that try too hard to land.

The cast shows enthusiasm, and a few performances lean nicely into the ridiculousness, but the flow isn't always smooth, leaving parts of the film dragging instead of keeping the laughs consistent. Nostalgia carries some of the weight, but the film could have used more fresh ideas instead of leaning so heavily on old tricks.

It's not a disaster by any means, and when the comedy works, it delivers the kind of silly fun you'd expect. But as a reboot of a beloved classic, it ends up being more of a decent distraction than a must-see comedy. A watchable but underwhelming return.

What a pleasant surprise that movie was. It really brought back the humour and the spirit of the old movies while still bringing its own fresh flair to it. Not every joke might land but there are so many of them in the movie and most of them worked for me. It has been a while since I saw a movie so eager to make you laugh.

Very rarely do you see a remake/reboot succeed in film. They may make a lot of money but they almost always fail to capture the same energy and passion as the originals. Most reboots are made for the express purpose of making you the audience remember the fun times of the original and purely serve to be nostalgia bait. This movie is not that.

It's pretty damn impressive the way the creators of this movie managed to capture the energy and tone of the original naked gun films to a tee. Without nostalgia baiting (while there are some fun callbacks) this movie stands on its own. To be a funny spoof movie in the classic vain of the Zuckers, one thing is the most important: Clever writing. You can't do a spoof movie like this without having constant bits and clever puns. These guys delivered. They came ready with tons of clever gaffs, sight gags, and quick puns that keep the audience waiting for the next joke. Couldn't nail the energy of a Zucker comedy better.

Casting was perfect. Pamela Anderson was a standout for sure. Liam Neeson was also the perfect person to play Frank Drebin Jr.

Overall incredibly funny movie that simultaneously pays homage to the original while also providing its own worth in comedy. Stellar job from this whole team.

If you're a fan of the original Naked Gun movies you will thoroughly enjoy this.

There were so many types of gags and different styles of humor that it felt like a mash-up of classic comedies with a modern look. Some parts felt Naked Gun (obviously), but others felt Monty Python or Austin Powers. I thought this would suck but it just made me smile the whole time. There was about a 20 minute stretch in the middle of the film where I didn't stop laughing. The absurdism is on point and jokes don't overstay their welcome.

I just got out of The Naked Gun

This was not the laugh riot the reviews, promised. Its humour is very safe and is pretty inoffensive. I did laugh out loud quite a lot, but they were not belly laughs

Liam Neeson does his best and is solid, I loved his voice over. Pamela Anderson is game and the scene with her singing is excellent, she looked great, too. Paul Walter Hauser has a scent role, but isn't really given much to do, whilst Danny Huston hams it up as the villain and it's always nice to see Kevin Durrand, even if he is under used. There is a surprise cameo which made me smile.

I smiled a lot during this movie, it made me think of my Dad, who loved these movies. It is the most I have laughed in the cinema in a long time, but it's not up there with Tropic Thunder, Something About Mary, Four Weddings & A Funeral and The Birdcage, as my favourite comedies I've seen on the big screen!! Those had serious long belly laughs in the cinema, with everyone cracking up. There are not many better things than watching a hilarious movie, with a packed crowd. This wasn't it, for me.

Stay for the song during the end credits!!
