Am I the only one who thinks this was dumb?


I love movies about airplane disasters: Airport, Zero Hour, Entebbe, etc. And I like good comedy: Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, etc. I just thought Airplane was cheap laughs, low quality stuff.

Nah, I agree, same thing with Naked Gun. I see the appeal for some people, just not for me.

I saw it as a kid and laughed my ass off. One of my childhood friends was black (RIP Tony) and he laughed out loud at the Jive talk exchange with Mrs. Cleaver. The humor in this movie was both high and low brow with sprinkles of middle-ground humor thrown in. You leave the movie knowing you had a good time

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

No way that line makes the final cut in 2020.
