The Naked Gun Ratings & Reviews
- Paul Walsh6d agoThis comedy has no right to be as good as it ended up being. Liam Neeson is great and even Pam Anderson commits to the bit. The snowman one off scene is pure greatness.
- Kevin WardJuly 29, 2025Liam Neeson is such perfect casting. He is so much fun as Frank Drebin Jr. Captures the tone and humor of the originals precisely. If you liked those, you’ll probably get on with this one. Nods to plenty other films—Double Indemnity, Mission: Impossible’s, poking at the tropes and plot devices in fun ways. Paul Walter Hauser is great in this too and I would have loved a little more screen time for him. Pam Anderson was seriously excellent here though. Possibly my favorite performance of this film. She has great chemistry with Liam and her comedic timing and delivery was pitch perfect and an absolute delight every time she’s on screen. Skiddly-bop.
- prob1788September 3, 2025Dearest Mother, I pray this letter finds you well. Last evening, while stationed in this strange year of 2025, I was granted the rare chance to sit down and witness a motion picture they call The Naked Gun. A continuation of the old comedies from our youth, though with new faces donning the uniforms of the foolish. The experience was both a comfort and a trial. Comfort, because the spirit of slapstick survives even here in this weary age— pratfalls, absurd disguises, and jokes fired off in volleys so relentless they felt like musket shot. Trial, because not every round hit its mark. Some gags misfired, lying cold upon the field, yet the sheer determination of the cast carried the charge onward. The lead actor, bearing the mantle once held by the late Leslie Nielsen, fought valiantly to honor the old commander’s memory. He stumbled through chaos, explosions, and misunderstandings with the bravery of a man who knows dignity is a small price to pay for laughter. His straight face in the midst of calamity reminded me of the stoicism we soldiers practice under shelling—only here, the shells were banana peels and poorly parked cars. The humor, Mother, was both crude and clever, sometimes in the same breath. It reminded me that in war and in life, one must laugh lest despair overtake the camp. The theater itself erupted often, though not with uniform precision. Still, when it struck true, the laughter rang louder than cannon fire. In closing, I would not call this new Naked Gun a perfect campaign, but rather a skirmish fought with heart. For all its uneven footing, it carried the banner of parody high, reminding us that even in grim times, folly has its place. Should you find yourself near a cinema, I advise you to enlist in its viewing—it may not win the war, but it will lift your spirits for an evening. With love and laughter from the front, Your devoted son.
- Ray HopkinAugust 5, 2025It's been a while since I laughed this hard at a theatre. Neeson nails the character and the delivery of the jokes, Anderson is brilliant. The original Naked Gun is one of my favourites, and while this doesn't quite get to the same level, it does stand toe to toe with the sequels, and that's a good thing! The bodycam scene I almost peed myself...
- 94kyleSeptember 18, 2025I did not enjoy this movie. How it got such high reviews blows my mind.
- LuigiFebruary 26, 2026Pessimo
- Carl BrutananadilewskiFebruary 25, 2026One of the best comedy movies in recent years. if I could give it more stars I would
- arikb8February 24, 2026I went into this expecting to hate it because i didn’t think it would live up to the originals. i didn’t. but it also wasn’t bad.
- Cam WinksSeptember 8, 2025They understood the assignment.
- levi_v1September 4, 2025Reminds me of my childhood
- EmperorWatcherSeptember 5, 2025Trying to be so dumb you’ll think it’s cool… it isn’t. Sure, there are moments of cleverness, but not a “Must see”.
- Hipster ZOMBIEAugust 17, 2025Few reboots manage to capture the absurd, rapid-fire brilliance of their predecessors, but The Naked Gun (2025) does so with ease—and then pushes the ridiculousness even further. Where so many modern comedies stumble into crude gags or empty pop-culture references, this film thrives on razor-sharp wit, escalating absurdity, and an unshakable commitment to silliness that feels true to the spirit of the original series. At the center of the chaos is Liam Neeson, whose full-hearted dedication to the role is hilarious. With his trademark gravitas, every line delivery becomes twice as funny—whether he’s barking out nonsensical police jargon or walking into a room where coffee cups always appear out of nowhere. His commitment to taking every absurd situation seriously is exactly what made Leslie Nielsen’s original performance so beloved, and Neeson honors that legacy while giving it his own over-the-top spin. Perhaps the biggest surprise comes from Pamela Anderson, who proves herself a perfect comedic co-lead. Her timing, self-awareness, and willingness to lean into the lunacy elevate the film far beyond a one-man show. She matches Neeson beat for beat, giving the movie its heart while still reveling in its ridiculousness. The highlight, however, is the utterly bonkers romantic getaway sequence involving the pair on a snowy retreat. What begins as a cliché romance setup veers into comedic madness with spells, slapstick sorcery, and a horny, vindictive snowman. It’s so weird and out there that it’s the most unexpected funniest part of the film. In a landscape where comedies these days often default to raunch or dated references, The Naked Gun (2025) is a refreshing reminder of how smart, ridiculous, and joyous slapstick can be when done with wit and precision. It doesn’t talk down to its audience, nor does it hide behind gross-out humor. Instead, it commits to clever chaos, escalating gags, and pure fun.
- Clarence BoddickerFebruary 18, 2026It can't hold a candle to the original, but 1 extra star goes to the cute snowman scene.
- James ElwoodFebruary 14, 2026True to the originals. Silly slapstick jokes
- dodgyroge74@yahoo.co.ukFebruary 11, 2026How could they sully the Naked Gun series of films (and Police Squad!) by making this awful sequel? I absolutely loved the original tv series & the 3 films, but this was the worst film I have seen in years. I never laughed once, although I did smile (just once during the whole film!). I can't believe I actually sat through the whole film. That's 85 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
