I'm actually pleasantly surprised. It does feel pretty much like a Naked Gun movie to me based off the trailer, while still being different enough to let Liam Neeson do his own thing. The casting seemed odd to me, but Leslie Nielsen himself did mostly serious work for the early part of his career. Maybe Liam Neeson can have a comedy sunset too, who knows?

Guess you never seen High Spirits?

It was a comedy he was in that saw when I was a child.

No, but it looks like it's easily available to stream, so maybe I'll give it a watch tomorrow. I could do with a goofy Steve Gutenberg movie about now.

Wow! You got to see this, its hilarious. Or it was when I was a kid. Plus Darryl Hannah was hot in this movie. She is just hot everything she was in.
