Luckily, I have now seen it and all my worries were set aside. The Naked Gun is really funny, and smartly, the filmmakers didn’t try to compete with the original in the sheer number of jokes being thrown at the audience. It’s the smartest thing they could have done.

The Naked Gun may be one of Liam Neeson's first leading roles in a comedy, but the legendary actor has been turning out funny performances for years.

Helmed by Akiva Schaffer, this film is a sequel to the 1994 film of the franchise, Naked Gun 331/3: The Final Insult. Along with Neeson, the film stars Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Danny Huston, and many others.
