This film is a … tribute, I guess you’d say, to the 1988 comedy film of the same name which has a cult following. You don’t need to have seen the original to enjoy this one at all. It stands alone as a slapstick, silly comedy just as confidently as the original. Starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson as cop and femme fatale, this film made me laugh out loud many, many times. It’s really dumb, just as the original was, so you need to be able to cope with that to enjoy it, but cleverly the film is just 85 minutes long. Any longer and it’d stretch the friendship too far.
The Naked Gun (2025) is rated M and in cinemas now. If you need a brainless laugh, it’s right up your alley.
