a terribly unfunny film

Rating: 2/10 (11 June 2005)

How could the creators of Airplane and Airplane II follow up these great films with this dud?!? This is a mostly unfunny film. Shortly after I started watching the video, I was inclined to turn it off out of sheer boredom. However, I KNEW it must get better, so I waited, and waited, and waited. It never provided an eventual payoff and I realized I had wasted all this time for nothing.
Even for an Abrahams, Zucker and Zucker film, the plot was hard to follow and confusing. This was good in Airplane but in this case the movie just looked like the script had never been completed. And the jokes looked like they had never been tested out to see if they were actually funny (such as skits involving sex with cows and the use of an "anal intruder"--both very crude but just not funny in any way). My advice? See the Airplane films again or the Hot Shots movies--they provide more laughs in the first 5 minutes than Top Secret had in the entire movie.
