The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! Reviews

Man that Orenthal James Simpson is such a talent. I sure hope he isn’t one day arrested on two accounts of murder and judged in front of a jury of his peers.

First half of the movie I wasn’t sure if I would like it but it happened to prove me wrong and I ended up liking it a lot. Can’t wait to watch the other movies to this.

oj simpson masterclass

la mia commedia preferita in assoluto, per chi non lo sapesse ci sta anche una serie TV credo anni 80 su questo genere. voto 10!

Pretty average, funny and stupid basically what it is.
5/10 mid movie

Rating: 8.3/10

Highlights

delivers a career-defining performance as Lt.
Frank Drebin, with a perfectly straight face that anchors the film's comedic brilliance.
• Masterful Direction: David Zucker's direction is a masterclass in the spoof genre, with breakneck pacing and incredible visual gags and comedic set pieces.
• Timeless Comedy: The film is pure comedic joy, quotable, and rewatchable, with a dense packing of jokes that remain funny even after multiple viewings.

Criticisms
• Juvenile Humor: The humor is relentlessly silly, absurd, and often juvenile, which may not appeal to viewers who prefer more sophisticated comedy.

Verdict
The Naked Gun is a landmark of comedy, showcasing the genius of the Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker’s team and Leslie Nielsen's comedic perfection. This film is an all-time classic and essential viewing for fans of the genre.

Really good funny movie

8,5

9/10

Holy spoof. Probably third time watch but still catches me off-guard with gimmick doors and Nielsen’s comedic timing. “Nothing to see here”. “That was how my father went”. Police car cam intro never gets old.

3/5
Once again a pretty good, enjoyable movie. I would say it wasn't as good as airplane, but still a pretty good time.

8.5/10

Hilarious movie with very over the top comedy with the one and only Leslie Nielsen and O.J. Simpson.
