  Wonderfully silly!
  
  I watched this years ago and found it just as funny this time round. It's daft and totally silly and made my ribs hurt with giggling. Love Val Kilmer and ... read more »

  Only when you're in the mood for silly
  
  Classic comedy, but under rated by most people, unseen by many others.
  
  The gags come thick and fast and you can become numb to them if you are not in... read more »

  Only if you like silliness

  Pretty good.
  
  Definitely worth a watch if you like Airplane or Naked Gun. It's not quite as packed full of jokes, but very funny nonetheless.

  What a terrible film, but worth a watch to hear Val Kilmer sing and perform like Elvis. The credits actually say he performs all the songs!

  Val Kilmer as you've probably never seen him before (or since!). This is a great spoof film, with some real laugh out loud moments. A crazy improbable plot... read more »
