veggieeggroll This is a wonderful example of good Slapstick. This film is what got me into the naked gun series and many other good classic Slapstick humor comedy.

funtasticfour I enjoyed this movie as a kid, mostly for the visual gags. I rewatched it recently with my daughter, and though she said it was the dumbest movie ever, she did laugh frequently. Some of the gags made more sense to me now, and some were annoyingly repeated. Funny and dumb but not the masterpiece everyone thinks of it.

IAmTheZump A thoroughly enjoyable comedy full of crude, rude, and offensive jokes that made me laugh and then made me feel very guilty afterwards. Probably not one for the kids, but pretty darn great for everyone else.

huggibear Minor spoilers included: So, it's 2017 and I'm just watching this movie. Maybe the humor from the 80's was better experienced then and could be more appreciated then as opposed to now, but I didn't find this movie all that hilarious. I found it silly and more like slapstick humor. It was alright. I liked the plot though. The synopsis on the top of this website page is quite vague saying that the man is afraid to fly. It's only because of his past military experience and his flashback of them that he is not comfortable with flying. Sometimes tragedy and life experiences cause us to fear. But he was brave enough to get on the flight as his intention was to work out the relationship he had with his girl, who just happened to be a flight attendant. So he proceeded to buy a ticket and board the same plane so he could be with her. She was going to dump him. To me, this was a sweet way to work out the kinks in their relationship that was going 'who knows where'. Did it work? Did he become 'THE' hero and/or 'HER' hero? That's for the viewer, you, to decide if you choose to watch it. It's decent, but if you want laughter, watch 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' as a throwback comedy that's got all kinds of emotions for ya. It's a very funny and touching movie with Steve Martin and John Candy. Either way, you choose!
