SILLY BUT FUN
As in the original AIRPLANE, there are so many sight gags and one liners going on, it's hard to keep up with them, but the movie made me laugh a lot. Comparing it to the original is natural, but given we have a different director and a different approach, it is best to let it stand on its own. And I found it did for me.Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty are back as the starstruck lovers and the bit where she removes her bobby pin to give to Hays is truly funny. Stephen Shucker is back, although he's not used as much, but his one liners are still hilarious. Peter Graves returns as the pilot who likes little boys; Lloyd Bridges is back as the flight commander; Chuck Connors and William Shatner are fun in their brief roles, and we get nice bits from Chad Everett, Raymond Burr, Rip Torn, John Dehner and John Vernon.I like this corny type of humor, for some reason, but when a movie makes me laugh this much, who cares about its faults?
