The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear
Stream
Rent & Buy
Bumbling lieutenant Frank Drebin is out to foil the big boys in the energy industry, who intend to suppress technology that will put them out of business.
What critics thought
A serviceable but uneven sequel, Naked Gun 2½ lands enough gags to satisfy fans of the original while falling short of it — critics generally found it enjoyable but formulaic, with the slapstick feeling more labored than inspired this time around.
“the most predictable of the ZAZ films”

“the funniest things about the movie were the title, the credits, and the key art”
