The Naked Gun (2025)

Pretty rough. All the actors are solid, Neeson and Anderson particularly good and Huston knows how to play an NG baddy. But 9 out of every 10 jokes are either poorly executed to the point where you can instantly imagine how the originals would have done it properly, more Hot Shots level humour than Naked Gun, or just straight up ripped off from a Mike Myers movie or Dodgeball some other spoof. To be fair, this means that 1 in 10 jokes are legitimately excellent and so I was doing a proper laugh every few minutes, but overall the laughs were buried under groans and sighs.

Rating: very low hit ratio
