The Naked Gun [2025]

Wonderful. They really know how to make a Zucker-Abrams-Zucker-style movie. Nice work. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson hit just the right tone. I could have used some more snappy wordplay  scenes, but I cannot complain. There's a few places where they explain the evil plot and forget to put in any jokes, because we don't need to actually care about the plot, but... the falling-in-love weekend getaway montage in the middle is so bonkers, I could not stop laughing. (with Henry at the Triplex, 1:30pm midweek matinee, included captions! I have heard that theaters offer this option, but I'd never attended one before.)
