Advantages: Leslie Nielson at his best, classic spoof moments

Disadvantages: None

That's what Total film viewers think, and you can certainly see why. It's just so funny, with amazingly classic spoff moments, from the announcements in the airport, with the PAs arguing about which zone is for loading and which is for unloading, to the autopilot who is a blow up doll 9and who steals the plane in the end, and including showing the leading man's alcohicalism by having him throw drinks all over himself.

Of course, there's the brilliant misunderstandings "Surely you can't be serious!" "of course I'm serious.. and don't call me Shirley!"

And they take the mickey out of other films mercilessly, including Saturday Night Live.

Definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it for a while, or at all, this is probably the film that launched Leslie Nielson into the career he's now in!

Good op, but I think you missed the joke with the guy who throws drinks on himself. He says he has a drinking problem, which you're supposed to think means that he's an alcoholic but it really means that he has a problem with drinking - he can't get it in his mouth, hence him throwing it all over himself. Also, I thought Leslie Nielsen wasn't really that good in this film. I thought he was at his best in the 'Naked Gun' series.
