The jokes and sight gags in this movie never stop, they come one after another without a break and most of them are really funny! All of the actors (except Jabbar, who is not really an actor anyway) display a lot... Full review

Overall this is a great movie for people 18 or older. I could list 1,000,000. I will name a few. Completely visual nudity, drug abuse, sexual content, swearing, and alcohol abuse. So (if you 18 or older) and want to see... Full review

Before there was Jackass, Borat, and even the Scary Movies, there was Airplane!, the comedic masterpiece where complete randomness and off-the-wall humor was taken to a whole new level. In my view, this is the main inspiration for the show "Family... Full review

a perfect analogy for the movie itself.....What he lacks in variety he makes up in sheer deadpan excellence.....The plot is window dressing for an endless stream of visual gags and funny dialogue.....The Naked Gun you get a rather funny commentary track featuring David Zucker (Director, Writer), Robert Weiss....the only reasonable setting for the climactic ending is a baseball stadium..... ...

They may not make a statement or they may slap us in the face with one, they may contain corny humor or revel in pseudo-intellectuality, they may be dated in the worst way possible or contain special effects so hokey you can't help but grin at their moxie for trying. ... Full Review

To paraphrase drug-addled air traffic controller McCroskey (the late, great Lloyd Bridges), it looks like we picked the wrong week to quit '80s comedies.
A typically droll commentary from the writer/directors and producer Jon Davison rattles along at a fair old lick, while a busy trivia-track option spatters the screen with a blizzard of "Well-I-never" info boxes and "Ooh, that's HIM! ... Full Review

The key to great comedy is to never laugh while delivering it, but I know you are amused inside.
I am using this line to describe why the movie "Airplane" is one of the funniest movies of all time.
