Not the worst comedy ever, but not exactly something you should rush out and watch immediately.
Copying some jokes from the original film, then overusing its own new jokes, this gets a bit daunting at times. Yet there are still some pretty funny moments. If you're out for a comedy but have already watched the original Airplane!, Top Secret!, The Naked Gun!, etc. too many times, you might enjoy this. But don't get your hopes up too high... it's still only about 1/3 as good as the first.
Then again, it does have William Shatner, who I absolutely love in comedic roles. Remember that one Saturday Night Live where he totally dissed Star Trek fans? Kick-ass. But this movie, although good, isn't really worth going out of your way for. At least it's not one of those Mike Myers crap-on-a-stick Austin Powers flicks.
