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.

Michael Medved New York Post ...these projects aren't so much movies as they are fast-moving collections of gags, so the only significant question is whether the gags work and the answer here is a qualified yes. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Rob Salem Toronto Star ...for good or ill, Frank Drebin is back on track - or rather, off track - ridiculous pratfalls, elaborate stunts, atrocious puns and ludicrous one-liners intact. Rated: 4/5 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer If The Naked Gun and The Naked Gun 2 1/2 had an endearing off-the-wall wackiness, The Naked Gun 33 1/3 has the feel of a movie with too many jokes off the cutting-room floor. Rated: 2/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It’s rather repetitious and drawn-out here, failing to invent fresh routines or expand upon the Police Squad universe. Rated: 3/10 Aug 23, 2025 Full Review Mike Pearson Denver Rocky Mountain News "The Final Insult" will have you smiling in spite of yourself. Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine "The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" is, unfortunately, the most disappointing instalment in the trilogy. However, that doesn't mean the film lacks some hilarious moments or interesting performances. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

bob t Frank Drebin Jr. was born! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/25 Full Review Russell H Enjoyed the goofiness but not a lot of story to keep me interested Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review chris m leslie being leslie. one of the few movies that has made me laugh this much. 'the naked gun 33 1/3: the final insult' opens with a spectacular display: precise editing, sharp dialogue, clever shots, music that complements every gag, and perfectly timed expressions. from the very first moment, the film captures the essence of the saga: absurd humor, double entendres, and witty dialogue that play with logic to subvert the ordinary. leslie nielsen and priscilla presley maintain the chemistry that turned their characters into comedy icons, sustaining the story with the same energy that defined the previous installments. although the main plot is less engaging and the story may feel slower than in earlier films, the script and direction ensure that every absurd moment has purpose and delivers memorable comedic payoffs. the staging reaches peaks of brilliance, including images that quickly became cultural symbols and internet memes, such as the famous forehead disappointment sequence. these moments demonstrate how the film continues to preserve physical and visual humor capable of transcending the screen. ultimately, 'the naked gun 3' may not reach the perfection of the first installment, but it far surpasses the second and stands as a worthy and entertaining conclusion to the trilogy. it is an example of how absurd humor, carefully executed, can continue to surprise and leave a mark even in its final entry. spanish: leslie siendo leslie. de las pocas pelis con las que tanto me he reído. 'the naked gun 33 1/3: el insulto final' se abre con un despliegue espectacular: montaje preciso, diálogos afilados, planos ingeniosos, música que acompaña cada gag y expresiones perfectamente calculadas. desde el primer instante, la película captura la esencia de la saga: humor absurdo, bromas de doble sentido y diálogos inteligentes que juegan con la lógica para subvertir lo cotidiano. leslie nielsen y priscilla presley mantienen la química que convirtió a los personajes en iconos de la comedia, sosteniendo el relato con la misma energía que caracterizó a las entregas anteriores. aunque la trama principal es menos interesante y la historia puede sentirse más lenta que en las películas previas, el guion y la dirección se aseguran de que cada momento absurdo tenga su propósito y encuentre su remate en gags memorables. la puesta en escena alcanza picos de genialidad, incluyendo imágenes que rápidamente se convirtieron en símbolos culturales y memes de internet, como la famosa secuencia de la decepción tocándose la frente. estos instantes muestran cómo la película sigue conservando un humor visual y físico capaz de trascender la pantalla. en definitiva, 'the naked gun 3' puede no alcanzar la perfección de la primera entrega, pero supera ampliamente a la segunda y se erige como un cierre digno y divertido de la trilogía. es un ejemplo de cómo el humor absurdo, cuidadosamente ejecutado, puede seguir sorprendiendo y dejando huella incluso en su última entrega. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Marce S A rather dull last installment of The Naked Gun trilogy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Amirtaha N Maaaaaaaaybe the funniest naked gun movie so it has that, but it gets a little too big for its own sake with the whole prison and Oscar bits Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Max W With this installment, the Naked Gun series finally steps out of the shadow of its TV origins. The distinct set pieces and the balance of fresh and recurring gags serve the narrative more effectively, making it the most accomplished entry in the original trilogy.
