Slightly less than Airplane, but this is totally my humour, especially fantastically performed by the bone-dry Leslie Nielsen, but actually the whole cast cooperates well. It took a while and the jokes were faint for about 5 minutes, but suddenly they started falling. Then the running gags become fun (the constant collision with the car) and elongated scenes suddenly become fun. Think of OJ Simpson getting shot and very faintly bumping into something, burning his hands on a cauldron but eventually stepping into a big bear claw as well. And from such a point the movie gets absurd in the right way and I watched it with a big smile. And the film goes on at a very fast pace full of jokes, both puns, slapstick and funny visual jokes (that drawing of the corpse in the water). Sometimes so fast that you sometimes miss a joke, but also so fast that a single missed joke doesn't matter. Visually, you don't have to look any further into this, but sometimes you don't have to. Nice beaver, 4.0*.
