It's Silly! It's Stupid! It's Funny!

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2004)

The movie team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker chose to film "Top Secret!" instead of making a sequel to their previous hit "Airplane!". In my opinion, they made the right choice.
Although "Top Secret!" wasn't a hit at the box office, it's developed into a cult classic.
This didn't look like it was an easy comedy to make. ZAZ were working without a net. Especially trying to combine two dissimilar genres (the WWII spy thriller & the silly, Elvis-like musical) into one funny comedy. Some of the one-liners, the pratfalls, the skits don't always work. But I've had so much fun watching the movie that I don't really care.
If I'm feeling low, "Top Secret!" is one comedy I usually rent. It's dumb fun.
