Summary: Lowbrow, crude, mindless -- The funniest movie ever made.
Review: What is there to say about a movie that almost everyone has seen sometime over the past twenty years? Every time you try to think of all the great scenes in this movie, you think of another: Barbara Billingsley talking jive, Peter Graves asking the little kid if he likes movies about gladiators, the famous spoof of the SNF disco scene, etc., etc.

Keep your eyes and ears open for whatever may be going on the background in this movie, because there may be something hilarious, such as the "white zone, red zone" argument.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outrageously funny
Review: This is one of the funniest and craziest movies ever made. I enjoy it even more now because much of the dialogue would be considered "politically incorrect" if tried today. The scene where Robert Stack beats up several peace activists and hippies at the airport is incredibly funny! The DVD has audio commentary by the 3 directors that I really didn't like. They joked around a little too much, and it was often hard to understand them because they kept talking over each other. Two people should be the maximum for simultaneous audio commentary, just like they do with NFL and baseball games.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Different Kind of Quality
Review: Most people who've seen this movie believe that it's one of the best laugh riots ever created. In many cases, THE best. On the other hand, there's a sizable minority who think this movie is a deplorable waste of time.

I lean towards the laugh riot side. Airplane, simply put, is the best parody ever made. Yes, the jokes are stupid, but not stupid enough to be unfunny. Leave it to Beaver's mom, the airplane prop sound, the blow-up pilot...there's a lot of classic moments. Lighten up, take this movie for what it is!

Also, the "no acting" argument is somewhat frivilous. You can't say that a parody movie has no acting, because parodies (by nature) do not exploit the talents of actors. I'd go as far as to say that acting is completely beside the point. Also, what about Leslie Nielsen? His amazing straight-laced demeanor was the springboard for his second career.

If you can't take a joke, save your cash. For everyone else, Airplane! is an amusing waste of time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Slap Stick Slop
Review: This is nothing more than slap stick slop. There is no acting. There is no plot and no theme. If you like pointless mindless movie fare, then this is for YOU! Want a movie where you don't have to think? This is your movie! Like jokes that are silly and nonsensical? Here you go. Enjoy. Purely garbage.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Laughed So Hard, My Sides Hurt!
Review: This is one of the funniest films that I have ever seen! TedStriker's (aka- actor Robert Hays) "drinking problem" kills me! And some of the lines are just too funny - like, "This is serious. We need to get these people to a hospital" " A hospital? What is it?" "A big building with patients - but that's not important now" Of course, my favorite line is between Robert Hays and Leslie Nielson "Surely, you can't be serious!" "Yes, I am serious. And don't call me Shirley"

BUY IT! You'll love it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stupid
Review: This movie is nothing but stupid slap stick. Don't waste your money. It's not even funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Parking in the White Zone.
Review: or maybe it's the red zone. Either way, Airplane is a riot. Itgets funnier each time i see it. I highly suggest purchasing this movie as it deserves to be watched more than once. out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ...and don't call me Shirley!
Review: Airplane! is a classic spoof movie that makes fun of the Airport series of disaster movies. It was also one of the first movies to make use of Leslie Neilson's comedic capabilities. In fact it is hard nowadays to disassociate Leslie Neilson from spoof movies. Every time I see him in his older, more serious films I keep waiting for him to do something funny.

There are gags aplenty in this film. Keep your eyes peeled. One thing viewers watching Airplane! should do is keep an eye on the background action as well. On quite a few occasions whilst you may be concentrating on the main action something funny is happening in the background.

Airplane! is a classic spoof movie to watch again and again. The gags may be getting rather long in the tooth, but they still make me laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You have to see this one...
Review: This is one of my all time favorite movies. The humor can be stupid at times, but that is what makes the movie hysterical. "The red zone is for emergencies, the white zone is for inloading, no, I don't think so honey." "Roger, my name isn't Roger. Roger that..." Don't forget to notice that the plane sounds like a WW plane. This one has Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Lieslie Neilsen is great in this movie. I love the Saturday Night Fever scene. I have waited a long time for this to come out on DVD. I purposely have not bought the VHS version. Buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely one of the funniest movies of all time....
Review: Before Naked Gun, there was Airplane (or Flying High in some coutries). With lines like: "Surely you can't be serious!" "Yes I am serious, and don't call me Shirley" how can you go wrong! a movie you can watch 100 times and still piss yourself laughing.
