Police Academy

The Friday The 13th of the comedy genre.

Police Academy is the most uproarious film to come along in years. You have the right to remain silent, but you can't help bt laugh out loud.

Police Academy is a dumb-funny movie that succeeds by virtue of sheer invention.

Now comes without any doubt the absolute pits of this genre, the least funny movie that could possibly have been inspired by Airplane! or any other movie.

Police Academy at its core is a harmless, innocent poke at authority that does find a fresh background in a police academy.

The hit-and-mostly-miss humour proves so cringeworthy, however, your real amazement will be reserved for that fact that they sprang six sequels and three different TV series out of this.

…a film about the irrepressible nature of the ordinary American, and the fight against corrupt institutions that supposedly serve them…the notion that a repressed class war has put things on edge throughout society is consistent throughout the film...

The movie isn’t really much funnier than its sorry sequels, but it’s the best of the bunch simply by virtue of being fresh (or as fresh as this moldy premise can get).

...somewhat erratic yet mostly affable...

It's a collection of easy laughs, no brain required.
