Reviews of the movie: Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

This movie and the sequels of "The Naked Gun" turned out to be surprise hits in the theaters. Yeah, it's silly, but it's a silly film that's also very funny. Leslie Nielsen is absolutely hysterical as the bumbling Det. Frank Drebbin, and the supporting cast is perfect: George Kennedy, Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson, Nancy Marchand and Ricardo Montalban can all be counted on big laughs. In this story, Frank is trying to locate the criminal responsible for the attempted murder of his partner Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) and in the process, stumbles across an outrageous plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth, who just happens to be visiting Los Angeles. Drebbin finds out the person who was behind Nordberg's attempted murder (Montalban as Vincent Ludwig, a shipping magnate), is also responsible for plotting the murder of the Queen and it's up to him to save the day, with hilarious results. Along the way he falls hard for Jane (Priscilla Presley, who is very good in a comedic role), and she helps him in trying to stop the assassination. There are many moments in this film that will have you in stitches. The one scene that actually hurts my ribs from laughter is when Frank is stuck out on a ledge after starting a fire in Ludwig's office. A close second is the scene at the California Angels' baseball game. It's heavy on slapstick and toilet humor, but this movie will have you crying from laughing so hard! Highly recommended. Also look for the all-star cameos in this movie, there are a lot of them
