What to Know

Critics Consensus

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult can't help but be sporadically funny thanks to Leslie Nielsen's dependably solid work, but it's still a steep comedown from the original.

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. Jan 11, 2008 Full Review Caryn James New York Times The film's first-time director, Peter Segal, has adopted the series' style seamlessly. Rated: 3.5/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle This time out, they've apparently hit bottom. Rated: 2/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Jeff Simon Buffalo News The latest installment in the sublime gag-a-minute series does to the Oscars what we'd all like to see done to them: turns them into a rich, aromatic stew of kitsch and calamity. Rated: 4/5 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Eleanor O'Sullivan Asbury Park Press (NJ) Good, naughty fun. Rated: 3/4 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media For the average quality of the gags, it's not worth the bother. Rated: 3/5 Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Bahad j In my opinion, the movie uses very good camera and audio visual equipment and the crew members and the filmmakers have played their roles very well. I really liked it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Audience Member For some reason the opening sequence made me laugh so hard. Other than that, more or less same amount of laughs as the previous movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Sedale S For some reason the opening sequence made me laugh so hard. Other than that, more or less same amount of laughs as the previous movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review r96 s 'Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult' is the weakest of the trilogy, though fair amusement is still produced. Leslie Nielsen is so good in the lead role that I don't think it's really possible for these films to drag, at least alongside the decent gags and short run time. Admittedly this third entry does meander a tad, though my interest in events never waned into negative territory. The ending is the strongest part, that facepalm scene (which I knew of before) is gold. Overall, this is a good franchise. I'm quite looking forward to hopefully checking out Liam Neeson in the 2025 remake, as long as the writing is suitable I think he can absolutely make it work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Jeff M This is basically THE NAKED GUN's salute to Hollywood, which is why I find it absolutely irresistible and a truly worthy end to the funniest trilogy in film history. In addition to the climactic Oscar segment which encapsulates the last quarter of the movie, we have nods to everything from THE UNTOUCHABLES to THELMA & LOUISE to THE CRYING GAME along the way. There are admittedly scenes here and there that haven't aged well, including an opening prologue full of violent gun interplay, but the discomfort watching them now is more due to recent events rather than any faults of the filmmaking itself. The Academy Awards part of the film features one priceless moment after another, from a Best Supporting Actress battle featuring Florence Henderson, Mary Lou Retton, Morgan Fairchild and Shannen Doherty to Raquel Welch getting in a fist fight with "Phil Donahue" to Pia Zadora's eerily accurate bad production number ending with her in the orchestra pit. This is nearly as good as the very first movie, and considering it is one of the funniest comedies of all time, that is about the highest praise I can bestow upon it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Nico B The weakest of the trilogy, but still funny enough. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
