This is possibly the closest I've ever seen a live action piece capture everything I love about Chuck Jones' cartoons. The music, the gags, the pacing, the overall aesthetic feels like everything out of the best of his work.

I can't remember the last movie I rewatched on the same day I finished it (if I ever did that at all), but man, this movie is just way too funny not to pass up another viewing with another friend of mine over Rabbit.

The sight gag with the airbags in the car/the entire climax is one of the greatest pieces of cinema ever filmed.

I can't remember the last proper comedy I've watched recently. It might have been back near the end of April with "A Fish Called Wanda", and I have watched some shorts and films that I would consider pretty funny, but I think that was the last true and blue, straight forward comedy I sat through.

Usually I tend not to watch them because they're often the biggest pains to write reviews about and not just because I've now transcended so far up my own ass that I can't give them the time of day (though, I still long await that day to come ((probably will be the day I watch my first Terrence Malick movie)) ). But after awhile and…

Airplane! is one of my favorite comedies of all time, so it was no surprise that I ended up loving The Naked Gun as much as I did. It has all the same hilariously bad Dad-joke puns ("Goodyear?" / "No, the worst.") and masochistic slapstick (a man gets shot and then stumbles around incurring a series of much more minor injuries) that made me fall in love with Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker's masterpiece. There's an extended joke about Drebin going to the bathroom with his mic still on that had me rolling my eyes, but if anything this is just a testament to the way Zucker is willing to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks (there's so much background detail…

Esse filme inspira vergonha alheia
Review by Parker Perry ★★★★

So much fun. Doesn’t hit me as hard as Airplane! does, because it leaves a little breathing room for plot details and some set-ups for payoffs later. Which is nice, this is a nice plot, but I can’t say I go into a ZAZ movie for the plot, so it sags a little for me in these moments. Also, the “peeing with the mic on” scene goes on for too long and isn’t all that funny to begin with. But still, this really is a wonderful sidesplitting comedy film that I adore. (The sex scene? Has me rolling every time.)
Review by Felix Brandt ★★★★½

It's amazing how this movie makes dumb jokes seem so clever.
Review by Brett ★★★½

I'm knowingly underrating this film simply because it isn't nearly as funny as it was the first time I watched it. There's quite a few classic gags in this movie which are truly hilarious... at least if you don't know they're coming. If you do, it's mostly just a mixed-quality barrage of physical humor. The lack of rewatchability isn't a totally fair criticism of the film itself, but I do think the fact that it loses some of its humor once its novelty wears off does suggest that it could be stronger.

Si t'écoutes L'agent fait la farce avec ta famille en prenant un verre et que personne ne rit, eh bien ta famille est plate en crisse.
