Review of Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach (1988) by Mike S — 13 Jun 2011

Not-so-fun in the sun. Being the fourth sequel in the series, it's not surprising this lacks the ingredients that made the first few films so funny. The script is a mess, the bad guys really corny and like something out of a second-rate Disney movie.

Sure, it could be worse, but it's so obviously a product made just to cash in on its name. And you know it's a bad sign when a B-movie star like Steve Guttenberg declined to be in it. I'm gonna watch the last two as well, just to have seen them.

But considering the state of this one, it'll be a miracle if I don't end up with any scars on my soul.
