The Naked Gun

Pros
- Naked Gun came out with great marketing, everyone was laughing and enjoying it.
- I really liked it. There were great moments and scenes like the snowman one but the early line about Pamelas character killed me: "She had a bottom that would make a toilet bowl beg for the brown". Poetry.
- I've heard nothing but amazing things about this movie. I absolutely loved the originals and was iffy on a "Reboot" or remake so was going to hold off on watching it. Saying that I'm absolutely going on my days off to see this movie now.
- Went in with decently high expectations (“you’re telling me this cereal is *exclusively* for children?”) and those expectations were shattered. What an incredible movie. My wife and I were giggling and quoting it the entire ride home.
- It was so refreshing to have such a great comedy.
Cons
- The original Naked Gun was hilarious. It was a film that practically had audiences wetting their pants. The new Naked Gun, by contrast, is amusing. What it won’t do the way these movies once used to is shock you into laughter.

Funniest since Game Night.
Funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time
Naked Gun- it'll be the best theater experience and it's meant to be watched with a crowd.
The naked gun is the best movie I've seen in theaters in a decade.
As a man in his 70s, it must be amazing to finally get a role where being an action star can be slow and funny rather than dynamic and cool like 80s action heroes.
