Fans of absurdist, relentless comedy, rejoice! Comedy with a capital C has returned to the big screen with The Naked Gun. Directed by Akiva Schaffer and written by Schaffer, Doug Mand, and Dan Gregor,

There’s probably nobody better to direct and write a movie like The Naked Gun reboot than Akiva Schaffer. He has a resume full of brilliant, dumb, joke-a-minute work. Together with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone he is a member of the comedy trio The Lonely Island.

As the star of “The Naked Gun” trilogy, Leslie Nielsen left some very large cop shoes to fill. Though the films were made decades into his long career, Lieutenant Frank Drebin remains Nielsen’s signature role.
