My Review-
This was quite a funny movie, since it was a parody of other movies before this one was released and mostly spoofing famous scenes from those films; it was called "Top Gun meets Airplane!" and Airplane being one of my favorite comedies it was almost as funny as Airplane! Even though in some parts I thought it was a little over the top, it still was satisfying throughout the whole movie. There were some scenes that stood out more than others did and those were the ones that I enjoyed the most. Charlie Sheen does the deadpan humor well and Lloyd Bridges was great in this movie. The movie would transition from being really serious then to really freaking hilarious that had me and my brother trying to figure out did we really just watch that. I though the movie could have been a little longer; and I had hoped to see more of Carey Elwes in the movie since he was in The Princess Bride I was excited to see him in this movie, even though he was not in a lot he was still quite funny. lastly the person I was annoyed with was Jon Cryer, I guess it's because I never really liked him as an actor, and with out him the movie would have been a lot funnier than it already was. I do recommend watching this movie since it is one of Charlie Sheen's funniest films from the 90s and if you liked Airplane! you will like this movie.
