The movie centers on a character intending to trigger a machine that would cause widespread violence, but Lieutenant Detective Frank Drebin (Jr.) is investigating. It successfully recreates the comedic tone and feel of the initial Police Squad series, featuring references and jokes that are familiar yet updated in fresh ways. Liam Neeson’s casting feels spot-on, and the supporting actors commit to their roles with a …

The latest installment featuring "The Police Squad" kicks off with complete chaos. It doesn't hold back on silliness; there’s an abundance of it in every possible sense. The humor is already dialed up to the extreme. *Spoiler* "On second thought, I think I will take that chair." *Spoiler* Liam Neeson delivers a standout performance, embodying his Police Squad officer character perfectly, and Pamela Anderson is …

Liam Neeson’s performance feels like a surprisingly accurate imitation of Leslie Nielsen. It's remarkable how closely the titles align with one another. The jokes are reminiscent of older comedies, full of silly moments that elicit some laughter, but also fall short at times. Despite this, there’s something comforting and familiar about it, almost as if Liam Neeson is tucking you in for the night. The runtime cloc…

Liam Neeson offers a welcome bit of enjoyment in Akiva Schaffer’s largely unsatisfactory reimagining of “The Naked Gun.” His understated performance and dedication to silliness suggest he was appropriately chosen to take on the role previously held by Leslie Nielsen's memorable Lt. Frank Drebin, though even his efforts aren't enough to save the movie. The screenplay is full of unfunny references to current trends amo…

The writing team of Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Akira Schaffer, who previously worked on Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, brought us this new installment, with Schaffer also serving as director. The movie functions as both an homage to the original Naked Gun films and a nod to 1990s comedy in general. It’s structured around a relentless succession of gags, with minimal pauses between them. The plot itself is rudimentary …

It proved to be quite entertaining, featuring jokes that felt familiar from the first installment. While it wasn't exceptional as a comedy, I still found it enjoyable, and casting Liam Neeson was inspired; his understated performance really worked well. **3.0/5**

Hollywood has a saying about not revisiting classic films, because usually they don't measure up. It's always nice when a reboot breaks that mold, and this new “Naked Gun” film does just that; it’s wild, silly, and genuinely funny – the first in the series since "The Naked Gun 33-1/3: The Final Insult" came out in 1994. Calling it a remake isn't quite right; it feels more like a continuation of the story, even though…

The preview featuring the young girl going into the bank had me worried this would be awful. Surprisingly, it turned out not to be. This film feels like a genuine tribute to classics like “Airplane” and “Naked Gun,” and both Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson seem fully committed to the entertaining nature of the project. The story is pretty basic—it revolves around a tech giant named "Cane" (Danny Huston) who has devel…

Akiva Schaffer's The Naked Gun (2025) brings back the spoof series, with Liam Neeson taking on the role of Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s famous clumsy detective. While it manages to recreate the silly feel of the ZAZ films, it has moments that work well alongside some that don't, making it an enjoyable—though inconsistent—addition to the series 15. What works: A respectful revival with contemporary…

It's wonderful to see "The Naked Gun" bringing back a style of comedy that seems increasingly rare. It feels like a tribute to a type of humor frequently overlooked, but which, when executed well, can create real and widespread laughter unlike almost anything else. Liam Neeson heads up an ensemble cast completely embracing the absurdity, supported by writing that respects the history of what is considered one of t…
