This by-the-numbers entry begins with Drebin as a happily retired house-husband called back into action when an evil terrorist organization threatens Los Angeles. As in the other Naked Gun films, this plot is merely an excuse for an unhinged, rapid-fire succession of gags, ranging from satirical lampoons of cop movies to broad slapstick, all played with a perfectly straight face. Nielsen provides his familiar combination of complete witlessness and oblivious dignity as Drebin, and the film attempts to match the earlier Naked Gun films -- and the Police Squad! television series that inspired them -- in the number of jokes. However, the film proved less successful than its predecessors, as some viewers found that the freewheeling comic style of the earlier films had solidified into its own formula, now mildly entertaining but disappointingly predictable. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Silly enough to make you laugh sometimes in spite of yourself -- at least if you're feeling like a little boy.
-
Caryn James, New York Times
The film's first-time director, Peter Segal, has adopted the series' style seamlessly.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
It's sad to see what started out as such a lively and creative series descend to this -- a feeble attempt to stretch a few pedestrian jokes into a feature-length film.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Manages to be not only still funny but energetically slapped together and occasionally inventive.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Wherever you are in the story, there's always something funny coming at you.
