We dive into the Naked Gun reboot, a comedy that delivers jokes at breakneck speed while updating the franchise for modern audiences without losing its absurdist roots.
• Liam Neeson takes on the Leslie Nielsen role with mixed results, though the film still delivers constant laughs
• Pamela Anderson surprises with her comedic talents and willingness to poke fun at herself
• The film avoids problematic humor typical of early 2000s comedies while maintaining a high joke-per-second ratio
• Standout scenes include a jealous, murderous snowman yelling "Daddy!" and an owl with unexpected personality
• The movie literally names a "Plot Device" as its MacGuffin, acknowledging its focus on comedy over storytelling
• At 3.5/5 stars, it's a solid comedy that succeeds at what it sets out to do: make people laugh consistently
• The film subtly comments on social issues like police brutality and tech billionaires without becoming preachy
• Perfect for getting "blasted and just sitting there laughing" rather than analyzing deep narrative structure
