I've seen this one before, likely either in theaters or on DVD in the late 90s. This is just another poorly made spoof movies to come out of the era and even with Leslie Nielsen in the lead and one of the men behind The Naked Gun series and Hot Shots (Pat Proft) writing (and directing), a lot of the ... jokes fall flat. I chuckled a couple of times here and there but otherwise found this a chore to sit through even with its short running time. **2.0/5**
