BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

godfreecharlie Stopped at the Bounce channel while surfin'. Ended up catching 3/4 of one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. The whole cast works well together and the writing helps keep the laughs nonstop. Surprisingly there's some continuity by keeping previous sub-plots alive and updated, example: Claire the dog. All in all a good funny story. National Lampoon movies are great at this.

videorama-759-859391 Why there wasn't a sequel to this, I'll be buggered. When I went to see this, was the last time I was ushered into a seat, the cinema was that full. I remember that happening with the first Police Academy. Gone are those days. How funny is this movie? If I'll be blunt, I'm afraid to hypothesize, I laughed that much, and this happens every time I watch it. Probably on average, 12-15 laughs per minute. Hows the casting of Jackson and Estevez? Perfect. Estevez's own take on the Marty Riggs character, I really liked. It was good to see him in this, where again, Jackson, a straight down the line cop, was solid as he is always, both the character's surnames named after guns. There are so many actors with small parts in this, I'm not even gonna start. Well I will, as we our Chips duo, and Corey Feldman as a rookie cop, Paul Gleason as the cop in the first Die Hard, and yeah Bruce Willis's John Mclaine. This movie sends up other movies like Silence Of The Lambs and the Sharon Stone interrogation scene in Basic Instinct which is a hoot here. The writers really have to be commended for this one, where they've really brought something, infectiously funny all through, where the plot too is original. There's a missing microfilm. A cop is killed cause of it, because it contains a secret cookie recipe, a facade, as it's really cocaine inside. William Shatner as the dastardly chief baddie is hardly recognizable. It's the best acting I've seen from the guy, while I liked Dennis Leary as a playboy type, who disposed of permanently here. This film too features some actors in the "great actor status" you wouldn't expect to be in this. This is another bucket list movie, you must see. It would of been great to see how a sequel to this, would of panned out.

Aaron Hassard I rented this out of Xtravision (Ireland's Blockbuster Video) on Friday because i was really bored and needed a good laugh, and i wasn't disappointed, far from it!There arn't any Laugh-Out-Loud gags but there a enough giggles and small laughs to keep you going through out this films short 79 minute period.The plot is basically about two coppers who join forces to stop this company from turning Cocaine into Cookies, and a mission to save a dog on the side!So overall it's a decent, funny,comedy film which, if you like spoofs (like me), you'll enjoy it!7/10

donovan1983 Loaded Weapon 1 is not a masterpiece by any measure. It has plenty of moments that make you cringe at the bad acting and even worse attempts at spoofing the dozens of movies it takes aim at. Yet it has aged remarkably well and I'd rather watch this than a good number of the late-80s and early-90s movies it spoofs.Samuel L. Jackson and Emilio Estevez were very well cast for the lead roles. Imagining Jackson in a comedic role is a bit hard until you see how well he pulls it off in this movie, and he delivers some of the most memorable lines in the movie. Estevez is cast in a character that purposely requires a lot of over-acting and he does quite a good job at it. I think this is the most watchable of any movie where he is in a lead role.As others have mentioned, the number of recognizable names and cameos in this movie is pretty amazing for a movie that is pretty much a cheap shot at the movies that were popular when it was made. Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez's bother and a star of the Hot Shots! movies being made around the same time, appears in one scene. William Shatner, already known for being campy, puts his reputation to good use in playing General Mortars and makes the bad guy of the movie look absurd. Kathy Ireland just plain can't act although that may have been purposeful in this movie since it works for her role as Ms. Demeanor. James Doohan, Bruce Willis, Whoopie Goldberg, Dennis Leary, Joyce Brothers, and Phil Hartman are some of the other notable cameos and roles. Of course who could forget the lead characters from CHiPs appearing, too.I have to watch this at least a couple times a year and discover something new nearly every time I watch it. I can understand why it gets low ratings here, since if the movie is dissected enough it really doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, but as a whole it works very well as a spoof. Loaded Weapon 1 and the Hot Shots! movies are about the last notable National Lampoons efforts and among the best out of the (all too) numerous movies they made.
