Watch Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult For Free

Did you people see the same film I saw?

As Good As It Gets

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Like all great empires of history, they end. Some wither and die away, and some come to an inglorious end. The latter is thus what describes The Final Insult.After seeing what is arguably the zenith of Frank Drebin's adventures in the first two Naked Gun films (and being pleasantly surprised at the punches The Smell of Fear was able to deliver after its predecessor), I was a bit dubious. "How could the last movie in the trilogy measure up?" I thought to myself. Turns out it didn't, so my vindication is bittersweet.It's not just that some of the jokes don't age, it's that they're outright recycled (calling it an 'homage' is far too generous), not just from previous Naked Gun/Police Squad releases, but from Airplane! as well.There are a few positives to this film. The working woman/stay-at-home husband is a very nice inverse of traditional gender norms (even while the romance itself is a not uncommon Hollywood May-December romance); there are also a few effective zingers, and I appreciate the hidden meaning behind the title. However, best to skip this movie unless you're dedicated to seeing the disappointing finale of what is otherwise a great series.

The Naked Gun Series Ends with this Funny Romp. The Usual Suspects (actually the Police looking for the usual suspects) are back for this Romp through Film Parodies, Sight Gags, Juvenile Jokes, and the Kitchen Sink.One of the Charms of this Type of Thing is that the Rapid-Fire Pacing Never Slows and if one bit of Humor is not to Your Liking, No Worries, there is No Time to Take Offense because the Next Bit is Shoved in Your Face Faster than You can Say "Wait, What?" Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, Anna Nicole Smith, and others Lead this Keystone Kops Calamity of Comedy through the Maniacal Motions of Mayhem and Destruction. Numerous Cameos Pop in and Out for Your Viewing Pleasure.It's all Done for Fun and the Gang behind these Popular Money Makers and Audience Pleasers have No Shame and They are the Best, perhaps, at doing this sort of Harmless Nonsense.Comedy is Very Subjective and for Anyone willing to Subject Themselves to the Vibe, will no doubt, be Pleased with this Entry.Note...O.J. Simpson and to a lesser degree, Anna Nicole Smith did not have happy times after this Movie and watching this Film in retrospect does render an underling tragic feeling of sadness that can't be avoided.

This movie is so awful. It is not funny. It just stupid. Why do it get 6.4. This movie is just overrated and stupid. Do not see this movie it is awful. I can not believe something so badly written could be so popular. This movie is just so stinky. Do not see it. It is a wast of time. It is a wast of money. It is an insult all rite. An insult to the audience. The movie is awful. It is one of the worst comedy movies ever made. This movie such crap. People say that it is funny. But there do not see it more then once. And they do not remember it. If you want to see something funny see Rich Little's Christmas carol. Do not see this dumb not funny movie. Stay away unless you want do be ripped off.

Look, I'm just not going to spend too much time on this (mostly) piece of crap. Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult suffers many defeats, probably the first/foremost: The absence of the original ZAZ (Jim Abrahams, David & Jerry Zucker) creators who brought you the masterpiece Airplane!, the way above average The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! and the mostly funny Top Secret! Them, like the police chief in the first two Naked Gun's knew well enough to distance themselves.Sure, it defeats some comedy disasters: unbelievably, it gets better as the movie progresses. How much better? Well, start on the absolute cutting room floor and work your way up a few inches. So, there were a few, I'll admit, funny segments in the 2nd half to finale, but most fell flat. Such as "Where's Waldo" – REALLY?!? – and an actual "Beavis and Butt-Head" tribute? Gimme a break.I failed to mention to amount of homophobia in the previous two chapters. This one tops the other two threefold. Yeah, I get one was mocking The Crying Game – duh, but it's still not a pleasant thing to see, when it's this vicious and not simply funny.I'll quickly skim the plot: Jane (Presley) and Frank (Nielsen) are fighting and leaving each other..again. Frank is also leaving Police Squad behind, as all movie cops have to retire somewhere in the story line. And some bad guy in jail (Ward) plans a break out, with Frank's help in the slammer undercover and metal-wrapped to avoid gay-sex in the showers. Ha ha ha ha ha ha and ha. No, I'm really not laughing at prison "dropping the soap" jokes. Literally – they went there.Anyways, the target is the Academy Awards for no other reason to blow up the place because this movie won't come close to winning any awards.Now that it appears I've completely bashed this movie, I will say there are a few funny moments: Jane's exit from Frank – really hilarious as were the fake movies and presentations at the Oscars. There were a few tiny, tiny moments sprinkled, but NOT ENOUGH for a recommendation.Seriously, this movie, despite some moderately funny moments, felt eerily spliced together and most as an afterthought. Even the Oscar fake movies, as humorous as they were, seemed rushed. This movie gets no endorsement from me, and thank goodness this would be the last – mark my words: I guarantee neither Leslie Nielsen or George Kennedy will anytime soon be appearing in a fourth movie, much less any feature length film. And you can forget about O.J. Simpson – who hilariously plays a dumb and distracted cop here – once he's released, he'll undoubtedly do something else incriminating.
