In selected theaters today is the new comedy "The Naked Gun." It stars Lian Neeson and Pamela Anderson. When the world is in danger, only one man has the particular set of skills to save it, Frank Drebin Jr. of Police Squad. Tony says, "The Naked Gun is a sequel to the The Naked Gun film series that began in the late 1980's. Then the comedy was fresh and new. Revisiting is nostalgia at its best as we wish the jokes were fresher, landing the film in a kind of cinematic "friend zone" - you'll like it but you won't fall in love with it."
He gives it a C and it's rated PG-13.
