formula the originals used that caused the audience to laugh themselves silly. Loosen up and enjoy yer platinum years. 'The Naked Gun' beats the crap out of a nightly dose of PBS News. There needs to be more silly movies in circulation to provide brief respites from our reality.

Maybe you should have watched it on cable with some wine and wacky for maximum effect.

The funny thing was that, the day before we saw the new Naked Gun, we watched the original Naked Gun on Amazon. I used to think it (the original) was very funny, but that latest viewing just didn't do it for me.

I guess it's just me getting old and cranky! ;-)

OTOH, the early Woody Allen movies have the same kind of very broad (sometimes overly broad) humor, and, for me, they've kept their appeal better.

My favorite comedy movie is "Being There" with Peter Sellars.
