The original Naked Gun film, 1988, starred Leslie Nielsen and O J Simpson. It was a wonderful spoof, with a blistering pace, wisecracks, slapstick humour and cartoonish violence. This remake is a *Spoof of a Spoof*. How can that possibly work?

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are terrific. They deadpan their way through a ludicrous storyline – the storyline is redundant. The *Spoof of a Spoof* is acknowledged before the credits emerge. There is a scene of mock worshipping of the previous cast, except for OJ who is rejected by a black police officer! In its own terms it is brilliant. All action, wisecracks, slapstick humour and cartoonish violence….I lapped it up. Park your brains and go for a very liberating ride.

Liam and Pamela are *Stars* but their touch is so light it shades into self-mockery. Pamela *vamping* her way through a jazz song is terrific They ditch stardom and went for it. It is great to see talented actors being serious about slapstick. If you like zany roller-coaster films you’ll love this. If not, you’ll think it’s childish drivel

Recommended.
