...a decent-enough parody film that feels like it could (and should) be better.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 22, 2023

Neither Estevez nor Jackson displays much sense of comic edge. So after 15 minutes or so, "Loaded Weapon" becomes a shaggy cop story, a pointless joke that runs on ad nauseam.

If I listened closely, I could hear faint snores. (The more I think about it, they might have been my own.)

| Aug 11, 2020

There is enough material to provide grins and, sometimes, guffaws.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 11, 2020

There are enough serious laughs to suggest that Quintano may give the Abrahams-Zucker team (Naked Gun; Airplane) substantial competition in the mainstream parody business.

| Aug 11, 2020

There may not be a laugh every minute, but there are enough to satisfy most devotees of the relentlessly silly, tasteless school of parody.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2020

I haven't experienced such a silent audience for an alleged comedy since last year's horrid Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot.

| Aug 11, 2020

Iffy humor, sex in dated cop movie spoof.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 20, 2019

Loaded Weapon 1 delivers with every line of dialogue, every bit of slapstick, and every reference it throws down.

| Mar 19, 2019

This bid by the National Lampoon team to cash in with some Naked Gun-style spoofery lacks the brainless invention of the latter films, but still manages to score quite a few laughs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2015

Neither the writing nor the acting is strong enough here.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 27, 2015

A raucous parody of bodies-through-the-plate-glass-window action flicks, the movie has been made in a slavish but pedestrian imitation of the Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker house style.

| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011

More an imitation than a parody, this would-be comedy is very short on laughs and gives away virtually all of them in its coming-attractions trailer.

| Mar 26, 2009

A new low in lame spoofery.

As much a poor man's "Hot Shots" if ever they were

A second-rate attempt to out-Zucker the Zucker brothers.

A film so disastrously slight that you've forgotten 95% of the gags by the time you pull out of the parking lot.
