The Naked Gun (2025) 😀

Dumb, Hilarious, and Exactly What We Needed

I just watched the new The Naked Gun, and I could not stop laughing! I remember thinking the originals were funny as a kid, but now, as an adult, I have a whole new appreciation for this kind of comedy. It’s smart in its stupidity—and if that sounds like a contradiction, then you haven’t seen one of these movies before.

Let’s be clear: this brand of humor isn’t for everyone. If you’ve seen the earlier Naked Gun films, you know exactly what you’re getting into—rapid-fire gags, ridiculous setups, perfectly delivered one-liners, and the kind of physical comedy that makes you laugh even when you know you shouldn’t. And if you haven’t? Just know this is one of those movies where the entire theater is wheezing with laughter while muttering, “This is so dumb.” And they love every second of it.

This reboot leans into the chaos and nails it. The pacing is relentless in the best way—joke after joke, scene after scene, with barely a moment to catch your breath. The acting is spot-on. Everyone commits 100%, which is essential for this kind of absurdity to land. Without giving away too much, there’s a gag with a car chase and a saxophone that had me howling.

What’s even more surprising is the release timing. August isn’t typically known for comedy gems like this, but The Naked Gun breaks the mold. It’s a comedy that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else.

Bottom line: if you’re not into slapstick, absurd humor, or the kind of jokes that make you laugh because they’re dumb, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re like me and need a laugh that’ll leave your sides sore, this movie is an absolute must-watch.
