Review of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) by Jonny P — 16 May 2013

This cop parody hits just about every visual gag in the book, while carrying on a dialogue of constant innuendo and stupidity. And it is amazing. It is not safe to look away for a single moment or you'll miss at least 3 jokes.

Leslie Nielson is incredible in this slapstick role, landing somewhere between stupidity and loveability. No object is safe from destruction with Lt. Frank Drebin around, whether it is a $20,000 fish or his very own car.

This film is filled with classic comedic moments, from O.J. Simpson getting shot (and subsequently falling into every thinkable unfortunate situation) to Nielsen's flashy umpire calls and the player piano going crazy and he tries to catch all of the Ming vases.

"The Naked Gun" is not intended to be taken seriously and each gag (whether subtle or obnoxiously obvious) will have you laughing from start to finish (and beyond).
