The Naked Gun (2025) Review
Jeremy Jahns goes in expecting another disappointing legacy sequel, but The Naked Gun catches him off guard—in a good way. He describes it as a “remakequel”: Liam Neeson plays Frank Drebin, the son of Leslie Nielsen’s original character, and investigates a case built around a familiar big-scheme plot.
Comedy and Style
The real draw, Jahns says, is the comedy. Neeson’s serious, deadpan delivery fits the material surprisingly well; a more traditionally comic lead might have made the film feel like it was trying too hard.
The jokes range from puns and dad jokes to slapstick and unexpected gags. Not every joke lands, and the nonstop setups can feel exhausting, but there are enough laughs—and sudden curveballs—to keep the comedy firing.
Jahns also praises the film for honoring the original Naked Gun style without relying solely on nostalgia, giving the spoof comedy a modern energy.
Verdict
At roughly 85 minutes, the film is brisk. Jahns calls it a pleasant surprise, recommends watching it, and says it’s worth buying on Blu-ray.
Personalities mentioned: Jeremy Jahns, Liam Neeson, Leslie Nielsen, Seth MacFarlane, Akiva Schaffer.
