It feels like a lifetime since Hollywood last got a blissfully stupid adult comedy. "The Naked Gun" couldn't have landed on Prime Video at a more perfect time, a true comedy gem to end the year on a high note after the streaming service's slate of forgettable, half-baked action-comedies in 2025.
Akiva Schaffer's 2025 legacy sequel, "The Naked Gun," is a riot from start to finish. As a fan of the original, I wasn't entirely convinced that Liam Neeson could fill Leslie Nielsen's shoes, but all the laugh-out-loud antics on screen had me nearly in tears. By the looks of things, plenty of people needed a little levity too, because the movie instantly shot to the #1 spot over the weekend (Prime Video's answer to Netflix's "All Quiet on the Western Front," "The Tank," has since bumped it down to #2).
