Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

bryangary65 Good slapstick humour in style of Benny Hill Bit like Hill dated now, but still plenty of laughs and Nielsen carry's the movie with his gift for natural comedy presence

jbrbsmom I can watch this movie over and over and STILL laugh out loud...classic comedy! The deadpan slapstick humor is fantastic in this and I have yet to tire of this movie!I don't think this will ever become extinct...right up there with Animal House, Airplane 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop and Fast Times At Ridgemont High. An absolute classic of its generation.

PeterBlues a blast throughout, though the movie makers made similar movies before and after the naked gun movies with the same type of jokes, and the leading actor seemed to get quite the identical roles in comedy flicks afterwards, it never worked out as well as this naked gun movie franchise, one hilarious silly bit after another, and i guess that kind of comedy won't age, only the playing field scene seemed a bit dragged out, the sequels are just as fun if not funnier really.

classicsoncall Relatively young viewers won't be in on the opening scene gag when a host of terrorist world leaders get spoofed - Idi Amin, Yasser Arafat, Muammar Khaddafi, Mikhail Gorbachev and Ayatollah Khameini. There's even a Vladimir Putin look alike who turns out to be a guy named Pahpshmir later on in the story; that was kind of prescient as Putin himself didn't come on the world scene until around 1999/2000. So was that a lucky prophetic guess or what? I just have to shake my head.I like these kinds of films where the sight and sound gags come a mile a minute, they have a way of keeping the viewer on his toes. It's all nonsense of course, like the sign in a warehouse stating 'Attention - All employees must wash hands before using restroom'. You really have to seek that one out, aware that the film makers didn't always draw direct attention to them but did some of their work with a subtlety to be admired.And then there are the gags that come at you like a hammer blow, like Lieutenant Drebin's (Leslie Neilsen) ill fated attempt to infiltrate Vincent Ludwig's (Ricardo Montalban) office, filled with fine art and exotic collections. Then at one point out of nowhere, we get treated to Herman Hermit's hit 'Somethin' Tells Me I'm Into Somethin' Good'. The kicker of course when it comes to hindsight, is the appearance of O.J. Simpson. You would think that with this exposure to police detective tactics, he might have put them to good use one day in seeking out the real killer.
