The story opens with a little girl stumbling into a bank robbery in progress. When confronted by an armed bank robber, she pulls off her face to reveal Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson). He deftly took out the robbers though one escaped. Oddly, the robbers didn't take money, just the contents of a safety deposit box. When Frank went to interview the owner of the box, it turned out he had driven off a cliff the previous night. Interesting. However, the man's sister, Beth (Pamela Anderson), insisted that her brother had been murdered and she would investigate on her own. Thus, Frank and Beth crossed paths repeatedly.
Okay, that's more plot than required. This is nothing but a thin story to support a non-stop series of comedic bits. Where the original Naked Gun series had silly word play or ludicrous situations, this one goes over the top. There is the deadpan delivery that was a staple of Leslie Nielsen. A lot of the gags are beyond silly. Doesn't feel as clever. Certainly has its moments but not something I will rewatch.
Meh.
