By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 12 Dec 2015

It may not deliver as many sustained laughs as its predecessor, but the hit-to-miss ratio of its comic content is still high…

This movie really isn't good, but I will admit that it had me chuckling many times. I give it a D, just don’t bother…

A worthy sequel. It doesn't contain the same amount of jokes as the first outing…

Review of The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)

By Jen M (690) on 16 Jun 2015

It can't match its predecessor for hilarity, but it has enough laughs of its own with a pitch-perfectly clueless performance by Leslie Nielsen…
