Summary: Leslie Does it Again
Review: The Gang is back, and that spells bad news for both bad guys, and the neighborhood in general. Frank is at his worst self, and the scene in which he singlehandedly destroys the Academy Awards Night is out of this world.

Leslie Nielsen is a comic genius. Raquel Welch and Pia Zadora's cameo roles only add to the comedy.

A must see movie.

Summary: Desposing Of The Dirt Was Becoming Tricky Business
Review: The Naked Guns' all have a kind of humor about them that I have grown to love and respect. No matter how silly a scene is there is always a seriousness about the way the jokes are being presented that to me is a more classy style than acting entirely goofy for 90 minutes or so. For example, in the hillarious Sperm Bank scene in Naked Gun 33 1/3 Frank(Leslie Nielson)is told by the woman working at the desk that Frank would need to take a number. Naturally Frank asks whether it has to be between 1 and 10 and she just, I believe, hands him the ticket with his number. The Naked Gun style of comedy is much more subtle than other comedies like Ace Ventura. You really have to think for a second or two before you bust out laughing in some of the scenes. I'm a fan of laughing at what people say and do and not so much a fan of Saturday Night Live type comedy where you laugh at funny people's expressions and/or body movements instead of funny writing or circumstances. That style of poker faced comedy that is typical of Naked Gun combined with one-liners like,"Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes," is what makes for great entertainment. The plot seems to determine the jokes in Naked Gun 33 1/3 instead of the jokes determining the plot. I love Naked Gun 33 1/3 and highly suggest that you give this great if maybe not classic comedy a chance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was so funny.
Review: The review of this movie, from my opinion, is that it is a great comedy. Leslie Nielsen was so funny. I reccomend this movie to the people out there who love to laugh. Presley was also very funny. SEE THIS MOVIE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Summary: Scraping bottom
Review: The third film in the Naked Gun series, based on the TV series "Police Squad!," is a near complete wash-out. There is little to distinguish this from the tons of other gag-a-minute spoofs that ape the ZAZ style. In fact, this wasn't even directed by one of the ZAZ guys- Peter Segal directed from a script co-written by David Zucker.

Many spoof-comedies simply send-up specific scenes from other movies. How many times has the interrogation scene from "Basic Instinct" been parodied? More than I care to remember. Early ZAZ classics, including the first Naked Gun, managed to avoid that trap by first crafting a structured screenplay before piling on the gags. The third Naked Gun film is very far from the early days of ZAZ, and closely resembles the many uninspired spoofs that have killed the sub-genre.

The DVD features a nice group commentary (with lots of welcoming skewering of the film from it's creators).

Summary: The Last Insult
Review: The two previous "Naked Gun" movies were two of the funniest slapstick comedy movies ever made. On the outside, there was no reason to think that this third installment would be any different. Unfortunately, it was.

Through much of the movie, you get the feeling the writers were having to reach for some of the gags. Many of the jokes and sight gags this time around felt forced and contrived, whereas in the previous two movies they just flowed right on through. This is not to say that the movie isn't a laugh riot, you just won't laugh as hard this time.

Leslie Nielsen is back as Lt. Frank Drebin, who is now retired and married to Jane (Priscilla Presley). Home life doesn't really suit this bumbling detective. A visit from his old Police Squad buddies gets Frank back into the game, which causes Jane to leave him and go off on a "Thelma and Louise" trip.

Although this movie was meant to be the last "Naked Gun" when it was made in 1994, it's fate was sealed the next year when O.J. Simpson was arrested for murder. Though never a major star in any of the three movies, he was as much a part of them as any of the others.

If you are a "Naked Gun" fan, then you will want to add this movie to complete your collection. If you have never seen one of these movies before, don't start with this one. It is not as good as the other two and you will be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Winner Is The Bomb!
Review: This is a very funny movie, as with all Naked Guns. Celebrities who make guest appearances, are Mariel Hemingway, Weird Al Yankovic, Vanna White, Elliot Gould, Olympia Dukakis, James Earl Jones, Mary Lou Retton, Florence Henderson, Raquel Welch which is very funny when he doesn't know what to say, the sperm bank scene is a hoot as well as the disco scene and If anyone forgets the opening scene in 33 1/3 it's Elliot Ness.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Naked Gun has finally made another 5 star movie!
Review: This may not have been as good as the first one, but it is definatly better than 2 1/2. And the ending with the black baby and Norberg was brilliant!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS THE FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER!
Review: This movie is the funniest movie ever! I have watched it at least 20 times. If you love very funny movies, you have to see this! This movie doesnt deserve 5 stars, it deserves 100,000,000,000,000,000 stars for funniness! I LOVE YOU FRANK DREBIN!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Have you tried sexy underwear?
Review: This, I think, is the best work of comedy ever made. Some of the jokes are a stretch, though, but most work. And when they do, they are absolutely laugh out loud fall out of your seat roll on the ground funny. This I think is the best naked gun movie of the bunch, full of one liners, puns and prat falls, this movie will make you laugh, I swear. The only problem is that a couple of the jokes are too disgusting, like when Tanya (I think that was her name) turns out to be a hermaphridite. That was just odd. The ending was a little dry of jokes, but basically it was all good. The starting scenes with Frank's dream and when he wakes up are brilliant. My favorite scene: Frank in the sperm bank, one of the funniest scenes on film. I strongly suggest you buy this one and the other two. This is the best because it didn't have any jokes lifted from the TV series it was based on, Police Squad! like the other two movies.
