Film review Spoof reboot is outrageous, crass... and a lot of fun

Neeson deadpans it impeccably, but perhaps doesn't quite have Nielsen's eerie innocence. In any case, it doesn't stop this reboot of the Naked Gun franchise from being a lot of fun: amiably ridiculous, refreshingly shallow, pointless and guilelessly crass.

It is a life-support system for some outrageous gags, including riffs on Sex and the City, and one are-they-really-gonna-do-it reference to OJ Simpson.
