Airplane!

I'm really sorry to say to myself that I didn't find this film all that funny. I really just couldn't believe it. After reading what the film is about, after finding out that the hilarious Leslie Nielsen himself was in this, I really could not imagine myself not enjoying this film, sadly I really didn't think it was all that funny. The jokes were incredibly unhumorous; the jokes were basically just turning jokey sayings into literal happenings, I did not think it was funny, not my type of 'humour' in this case. The same style of jokes kept being told, in fact, I think those were the only 'jokes' that were told. And the silly love story or whatever in the film, just made it even worse. The rest of the jokes were rather boring, I really didn't crack a smile, and to a certain extent I do have a good sense of humour, grumpy at times maybe, but I believe if this was truly funny, then that shouldn't matter. The only joke I did find funny, was the pestering charity people, and when they got punched and "kung fued", that I found funny. Nielsen just managed to crack me up in this, he hasn't really ever failed at doing that.

Truth be told, I didn't think this film was all that marvellous, it was really down to the fact that the jokes weren't that funny. Nielsen just saved it from getting a lower rating. But just for the record, I did really enjoy The Naked Gun trilogy and Police Squad, but I didn't enjoy this. The jokes are completely different, they have nothing in common, so don't think you'll like this just because you liked NG or PS, it's totally different stuff.
