- [New] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: More light chuckles than straight-out howlfest, The Naked Gun is mercifully short but not as funny as its predecessors.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: The makers of the new film have the comedy chops to reinvigorate a property like The Naked Gun, but they ultimately can’t maintain the rhythm that a movie like this needs.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: You’ve got yourself a goofy, fun movie that knows what it is and delivers tons of laughs throughout, with a memorable Neeson performance that boosts the film without overstaying its welcome.
- Andrea Chase @
- Excerpt: An extravaganza of fearless puns, bold non-sequiturs, and absurdity delivered with gusto as tropes are skewered and, cultural barbs are deployed with wild abandon.
- Scott Davis @ ScreenSphere
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: This proves that Liam Neeson can handle pratfalls as well as punchlines with aplomb and still elicit huge laughs with a deadpan expression.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: The Naked Gun is a vintage comedy that’ll keep you laughing until the credits are finished.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: Nothing is sacred here and everything is up for humor, including the franchise itself.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Spoof comedy is back, and the unlikely team of writer-director Akiva Schaffer with stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson might just be the chaotic salve modern comedy desperately needed. By singularly focusing on delivering as many laughs as possible—many of them very, very dumb—’The Naked Gun’ pulls no punches. It honors the original while making room for a new version of this kind of comedy to exist again. I laughed a lot.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: A stupid-smart mix of clunkers, wordplay, old-school set-ups, prop humor, and left-field ideas that the writers just couldn’t stop laughing at doesn’t inherently make for a comedy classic…but it does prove how effective these films’ formula can be when followed properly.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: The Naked Gun doesn’t want to do anything but give us a good time and an escape from our present day, rolling constant laughs into its blessedly short runtime.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A hilarious continuation of what the ZAZ team did with the original trilogy, just as funny, in my opinion, as the second film, and certainly superior to the third.
