ZAZ At Their Best

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2000)

Now, "Airplane!" started it all, and the "Naked Gun" movies had their moments, but the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team really hit their stride with "Top Secret!" It rivals the great "Duck Soup" as one of the funniest, most off-the-wall comedies of all time.
"Top Secret!" takes no prisoners. Where else can you see a dead-on satire on World War II spy thrillers, Elvis rock musicals, "The Blue Lagoon," "The Great Escape" and "The Wizard of Oz?" Val Kilmer even does a very credible young Elvis impression -- it's obvious he's having fun, and so we have fun, too.
This is one of those movies that you need to watch a couple of times to get all the jokes. I bet you'll never find a movie as consistently hilarious and clever as "Top Secret!"
