This movie is more than just 'comedy'.
Sure, it's also that, but now that I am rewatching this movie, I am realizing one interesting thing;
this movie has an uptempo energy, so much of it. I guess that's what people mean when they say 'cheerful'.
So many movies, especially these days, are gloomy, dark, depressing, grey, colorless, slow, boring and horrifying. Movies are horror, they're designed to tear your soul apart, they have some kind of dark streak at least, or 'filtered colors'.
But Police Academy is just 'pep' all the way - lots of energy, fanfaric uptempo, uplifting fun, even during those times when it's not particularly funny. There's always this 'uplifting energy' in the air.
It's very hard to explain, but you can easily see what I mean by watching this movie.
Movies can be enjoyed in so many different levels - it doesn't always have to be the 'comedy' or 'story', there are other things you can experience as well. Plus, the music of this movie is just fantastic. What's more epic in a heroic and uplifting way than "Police Academy March"?
