Funny but not the best

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2004)

I saw this movie years and years ago-probably when it first came out, although I can't remember now-and just now saw it again. Let me say, this is a very funny movie most of the time, if you like stuff that's just plain ridiculous ("...and then we'll break away from the other cows..." ;winning a gunfire version of tic-tac-toe),but still, it doesn't measure up to the definitive ZAZ flick, the original "Airplane!" Val Kilmer looks ridiculously young, with typical '80s hair, and shows a real comedic flair here-he probably should have stuck with comedy. He then wouldn't have gone in the tank with that colossal "Island of Dr Moreau" disaster (or maybe that was a comedy?) Anyway, if you liked the Naked Gun and Airplane series, you'll like this one, too.
