This was supposed to be a sequel/reboot to The Naked Gun 33 1/3. To my shock, it works!

PROS
1) Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin, Jr., picks up where screen dad (Leslie Nielsen) left off--catching bad guys despite himself. The two men both gained recognition as serious, dramatic actors, and they both showed off their excellent comedic chops when given half a chance. And you could tell Neeson was having a blast with this role.
2) Pamela Anderson has come into her own as an actress. She played the perfect foil for Drebin's antics.
3) The gags are just as funny as the original, though updated for the passing of thirty-seven years since the first movie in the series, like the electric police car and police body cameras. However, they still used classic sight gags.
4) Cameos by Priscilla Presley and Weird Al Yankovich were icing on the cake!
CONS
1) I have no complaints. It is a fun date movie after a long work week.
Overall, The Naked Gun (2025) was a great retro-flick when you ned some belly laughs. I give it a solid 10 out of 10 stars.
