The new Naked Gun, actually. The idea falls in to the same FUCK NO camp as every other god damn nostalgia grab from Hollywood in recent years. The plot is stupid, even compared to some of the old Leslie Nielsen movies that worked the plot developments in to jokes a bit better and naturally had more of their own humor than references .... buuuuut, the execution still had me straight up laughing out loud at quite a lot of it.
I put this on expecting a trainwreck and a cash grab too, but it still had me laughing my ass off. It really felt like they understood why the originals were so funny.
I feel like they could have gone much crazier with the premise, but it had some great jokes.
I love that one of the first items stolen is literally labeled PLOT Device
