Pamela Anderson steals the show, Liam Neeson delivers laughs, and fans are calling it the funniest movie in years.
The buzz around “The Naked Gun” reboot is more than just hype—it’s genuine belly laughs, tears of joy, and an overwhelming chorus of “they don’t make ’em like this anymore.” Set to hit theaters on August 1, 2025, this absurdly funny comedy is already being hailed as a comedy comeback for the ages, and early reactions on social media are making it clear: this one’s a must-watch.
Director Akiva Schaffer (The Lonely Island) revives the classic franchise with “The Naked Gun” (2025), starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s legendary detective. Alongside him is Pamela Anderson as Beth, a sultry, scene-stealing femme fatale. The film promises—and delivers—a nonstop barrage of sight gags, raunchy humor, slapstick chaos, and nostalgic throwbacks to the beloved originals.
“The Naked Gun” Social Media Reactions
“The Naked Gun is THE fully loaded, gut busting comedy we NEED right now,” tweeted Junior Felix of The Hashtag Show. “Joke after joke had my theater laughing hysterically for 85 minutes… Liam Neeson is PERFECT. But it’s Pam Anderson that steals this romp.”
Movie Death Blows didn’t hold back either, declaring: “I’m still laughing my ass off after that. The Naked Gun is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a theater. Just 85 minutes of pure hilariousness & parody nonsense. Liam Neeson should legitimately be in contention for Best Actor—that’s how good he was.”
Variety’s Katcy Stephan was quick to praise the reboot’s faithful tone: “The Naked Gun is so deliciously stupid, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Very true to the spirit of the Leslie Nielsen movies I grew up loving.”
Critic Griffin Schiller was nearly breathless in his praise: “Funniest movie I’ve seen in over a decade! Had me laughing to the point of tears MULTIPLE times. A brilliant reclamation of the American comedy… hilariously parodying the exhausted, gritty reboot era.”
Film critic David Ehrlich agreed, posting: “There are like six different scenes in The Naked Gun that made me laugh so hard I cried. Even the title card is funny. I wrote ‘SO DUMB (complimentary)’ in my notebook several times.”
With a standout cast that includes Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, and Liza Koshy, and a trailer that’s already racking up millions of views, this reboot is shaping up to be a summer comedy event for the ages.
Get ready for ridiculous plot twists, outrageous visual gags, and laugh-until-you-cry moments.
“The Naked Gun” opens August 1, 2025—mark your calendars, because this is one ride you’ll want to take straight to Gag City.
