In the thick of reboot culture, The Naked Gun is a prime example of filmmakers taking a nostalgic piece of cinema and making good on its legacy. It honours the humour above all, and you'd be hard-pushed to find a funnier film this year.

[Neeson] deadpans it impeccably, but perhaps doesn't quite have Nielsen's eerie innocence. In any case, it doesn't stop this reboot of the Naked Gun franchise from being a lot of fun. It is a life-support system for some outrageous gags.
