Airplane!

Summary: Laugh A Minute
Review: "Airplane!" will provide you with a laugh a minute. The Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker trio had a real talent for making you laugh without, even without words. Many of the jokes aren't even lines said by actors. That said, this is a crazy movie. You see Barbara Billingsley, or June Cleaver, talk jive, you see Leslie Nielsen playing a doctor, you see an inflatable autopilot grab Julie Hagarty's chest, it's a grab bag of craziness. The hilarity of this film can't be described. Go see "Airplane!" now!

And don't call me Shirley!

Summary: #1 comedy ever made!
Review: this is definetely the funniest movie i have ever seen.there's a laugh in every minute.since it looked like it was made in the 80's and it was only PG,i thought it would be kiddy humor but was i ever wrong! just about all of the jokes in this film had some sexual or violent content.that's why it should be R rated.do not show this movie to kids just because it's PG.if you have seen the movie "jane austen's mafia",see this.i saw that before i saw this and thought it was hilarious but it was just copying off of this.this film is rated PG for adult language,lots of sexuality,nudity,and a scene of drug use

Summary: Plot isn't that funny, the jokes in it are!
Review: This is one of the funniest I have seen, with jokes happening so often you miss them because you are laughing from the previous one! It is about a flight where everyone who has had fish dies, and that is the pilot, and all his assistants. Kareem Abdul-Jabar plays himself, and Leslie Nielson is in it, which makes it funny automatically. If you like naked gun, you will like Airplane!

Summary: It's a laugh a minute
Review: and then some.

Honestly, this is a different kind of comedy than say, The Great Race or It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. To really appreciate all of the humor (and there is a load of humor in it) in the story, you'd have to have seen many of the other films it spoofs. Some of these include: Jaws, Airport and Saturday Night Fever. Quite a bit of the humor is visual and ties in with turns of phrase by the cast.

Perhaps not a film for the younger audiences (they wouldn't understand some of the humor - and parts of the picture are risque), but teen-agers and up will appreciate it. Its sequel (Airplane II), though somewhat weaker, is also good.

Definately a picture to see. Add it to your library -- you'll want to watch it more than once.

Summary: The funniest movie ever
Review: This is what a comedy should be like.Laugh after laugh.When this movie was released,I went to the theater over and over again.There's still a new joke I'll discover when its played in my VCR every year. Leslie Nielsen is the master,along with all these serious actors,Lloyd Bridges,Robert Stack,and Peter Graves.This movie saved all there careers except for Robert Hays.I can't understand why,he was great,along with Julie Hagerty who did go on to make a couple of great films,my favorite being,"Lost in America." I also love "The Naked Gun" films. Zucker and Abrahams are the greatest.If I'm ever told I only have a few weeks to live,I'm going to play this movie everyday to cheer me up.

Summary: One of the Greatest Parody Movies of all Time
Review: Recently there has been a slew of Leslie Nielsen and other actors making these cheap parody comedies. Airplane is where this all began, and it is so much more hysterical than anything that has come out recently. I must have watched this movie a 100 times and every time I still laugh at the jokes, so many of which I can almost repeat word for word.

The amount of comedy that is jampacked into the dialogue here reminds me in some ways of a Shakespearean writing style. It is so full of wit that I think that one word out of place would destroy whole parts of this movie. From the scene in the cockpit with the captain making references to gladiator movies to Mrs. Cleaver telling the waitress that she knows how to speak jive this movie is packed with comedy. I have to mention my absolute favorite character though, I can't remember his name he is in the air traffic control tower and he constantly keeps making comments completely out of leftfield and sometimes obscure references to decorating the tower in various ways.

Overall if you love a zany movie filled with (what some people would call bad) puns and great humor with some really random allusions at times then this movie is definitely for you.

Summary: Funniest movie I've ever seen
Review: I asked my mom and my brother one day if Airplane! was a good movie and they both said that it was corny. I watched it and I thought it was the funniest movie I've ever seen, and it still is. It doesn't have the typical kind of comedy that you usually see in a comedy movie. It adds a different kind of twist that I think is a lot funnier than a normal comedy film. A couple of good examples are when one of the actors finds trouble and says "If Striker hears about this, the crap will hit the fan." Then it'll actually show crap hitting a fan. Really it uses the S word, but this is a review so I can't say it. Another good part is when a drunk man asks an old lady if she'd like a drink and she says "Why certainly not! " in a way that makes you think that she doesn't do any drugs or nothing like that. Then she gets out some cocaine and sniffs it right after she says that.

If you think stuff like that is funny, this will be one of the best movies you've ever seen. All the while, they're trying to get the airplane to land safely. All the stars of the movie do great acting and I can't find a single flaw in this movie. Airplane 2: The Sequel is alright, but it doesn't stand up to this movie, the original Airplane!

Summary: GETTING HIGH IN 'AIRPLANE!'
Review: Flight 209 becomes disaster! Surely, they aren't serious in this 'Airport' spoof disaster film but they do know how to plan a flight. It looks like they picked the wrong flight to get back together with Robert Hays, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Flight 209 isn't deplaning with an empty airsickness bag.

Summary: Most entertaining movie I've ever seen!
Review: This film, as you can guess from the title of my review, is the most entertaining movie I've ever seen. It's not often that you see a movie where the *opening credits* make you laugh. Great party film.
