2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   This is a classic ‘dumb-but-funny’ movie which makes no pretense to be serious. It is an ultimate parody on all things 1970’s, so younger viewers may not get some things, but this movie had my teenagers gut-laughing nonetheless. Leslie Neilsen (from the Naked Gun series) can’t be beat in this kind of film, and Robert Stack is a great fit as the straght-man. One of my favorite scenes is a “who’s on third” esque exchange between pilots with the last names “Roger” and “Over” trying to communicate with each-other on the radio with a great deal of ensuing confusion…. Or, maybe it was the scene where Barbara Billingsly served as the translator for two african americans who only new Jive talk? Anyway, if you have teenagers, or just simply appreciate juvenile humor… this movie should be on your to-see list.
