More of the same in this movie.
Roger Ebert was right about Leslie Nielsen, he is "the Laurence Olivier of spoofs".
Nowhere near as hilarious or chocked full of jokes as the first. But very good nonetheless.
7/10
Funny enjoyable and
very very silly
Just what the doctor ordered
From the good old day's, just what is needed with all going off in the world. 6/10
The Police Squad is back in full force in The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear. When there’s an attack on the president's energy advisor Lt. Frank Drebin is assigned the case, but things get personal when he discovers that his ex-girlfriend Jane is involved and may be the next target. The original cast returns and give even stronger performances. However, the humor is overly sexual and doesn’t quite fit tonally with all the pratfalls and sight gags. Though it’s not as funny as the original, The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear is full of laughs.
It wasn't as funny as the first one but still funny and enjoyable, just like the first one. Or maybe it felt that way because I still have the first one in recallable reference as I watched it yesterday. Putting that aside, I do think there were more memorable, iconic moments in this movie than there was in the first one. The running gags were more enjoyable, probably because that's what they are in this movie since this is the second movie in a trilogy. Yet another fun, enjoyable experience, this was.
Not better than first one but again funny.

Crammed full of gags, it felt like a laugh a minute. If the first one is said to be slightly better then I’ll look forward to watching that soon.
