The Naked Gun

Let's not compare, because it doesn't

I would have rated this lower, but there has been so few comedies of late. And movies without an agenda. And it has Weird Al.

Neeson somehow stopped aging at 50 - he's still doing action flicks - but he's in the low seventies I think; same as Nielsen during his tenure.
He does his best, but lacks Nielsen's natural, goofy, self-aware comedic charm.

Anderson, well, looks Neeson's age, and never was much of an actress to begin with. Except maybe Barb Wire. Ah, time goes by.

The whole movie feels more like a 90s uninspired spoof movie (Kingsman in this case), with the only tangible link to Police Squad and The Naked Gun being the end credits.
Don't miss the end credits.
And go watch the originals. Which probably means go to your living room, but you get the point. And old ZAZ stuff.

I wouldn't really call it woke. I was going to mention the obese female black police chief but I think it's trying to be a joke stereotype of the woke casting maybe? It's really hard to tell what the hell this movie is going for. It completely missed the point of the originals. First you simply can't replace Nielson, his style and delivery can't be replicated and it's obvious it doesn't work here. Then there's the humor, where the originals were parody's of existing movies and shows at the time showing exaggerated and comedic scenarios this one just seems random all over the place. The originals had the humor as absurd and exaggerated but yet still played it straight, here it's over the top stupid and all seems so forced and strained. There are some amusing moments but nothing laugh out loud like the originals. Several times the jokes could of been funny but they ruin it with poor delivery or bad setup that just comes off as stupid or cringe instead of funny. It's not terrible but the actual funny jokes are too few to make it worth it in my opinion. Best to just watch the originals and pretend this didn't happen.
