Naked Gun (2025)

 


Liam Neeson plays the son of Leslie Neilson in more adventures of Police Squad.

The big question that needs answering is, is it funny. Yes, yes, it is. More low brow humor of every sort fills the screen from first frame to a post credit sequence. While not all of it hits, and a few are repeated too often, for the most part this is a very funny movie for those who are fans of the original TV and Movie series.

To be honest, I and most of the critics at the screening I attended were set to be disappointed. We thought we’d seen all the best jokes in the trailers/commercials and that this was going to be aq painful 90 minutes. Instead, we were all surprised at how funny it was.

The plot has Danny Huston planning on destroying civilization so that he and the tech bros could rebuild the world. It doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t have to and is just there to get Neeson and the cast in places where they can be funny.

The cast is good, with Pamela Anderson proving she is a way better actress than most of us once thought.

While the number of cameos in the film are small and fleeting, it is perfectly fine since we stay in the film as a result.

While some of the jokes crashed most hit and saying that these days about any comedy out of Hollywood is unheard of.

Recommended.

(Though a quick warning to parents there are more than handful of jokes that you will find screamingly funny but will require uncomfortable explanation to the little one – in other words some of this is very blue if you know the double meanings)
