About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a brain-off, rapid-fire parody of big 80s/90s action tropes with constant sight gags; Not for you if you dislike silly slapstick or uneven, sometimes dated jokes like in The Naked Gun.
Pros: nonstop gags; action-movie spoofing; deadpan performances | Cons: uneven joke hit-rate; some dated references; crude political bits
