The Naked Gun

Directed by David Zucker
1988
★ 6.0 editorial score

The Zucker team moved their television cop parody to the big screen and improved it: Leslie Nielsen anchors a squad room where three more gags are running behind every line.

“You laugh, and then you laugh at yourself for laughing. Some of the jokes are incredibly stupid. Most of them are dumber than dumb. Yet this is not simply a string of one-liners. There is a certain manic logic to the progression of the film, as the plot leads us from Yasser Arafat to Reggie Jackson, with a pause while Queen Elizabeth II passes a hot dog to the person sitting on the other side of her at Dodger Stadium.”
