New ‘Naked Gun’ Is a Fond Homage to Leslie Nielsen, but the Original Was Better

By Forrest Hartman
The humor in Naked Gun films, both old and new, is essentially ceded to dad jokes, assuming your father is a semi-dirty old man who never quite moved beyond his early teens. Viewers get pratfalls, dumb (but often laugh-worthy) one-liners and plenty of sexual innuendo. Those who warm to this formula should find at least a smattering of laugh-worthy scenes in the new film.
