The film drops significantly from its praised opening sequences to a mid-film lull where reviewers felt the comedy became forced and timing suffered.
The Naked Gun starts exceptionally strong with reviewers praising the opening 20 minutes as sharp and hilarious, capturing the spirit of the originals. However, the film becomes notably uneven in its second half, with critics noting decreased joke density and forced humor, though it recovers somewhat for the absurd finale. Overall, reviewers found it a decent but underwhelming return to the franchise that never quite matches the brilliance of the Leslie Nielsen originals.
