The recent UNICEF-esque commercial featuring Liam Neeson highlights the decline of comedy films, revealing fewer comedies made each year. As he emphasizes, many comedies now go unmade and unquoted. The release of The Naked Gun, a slapstick comedy, garnered significant ticket sales, meeting industry expectations. It received an A- Cinemascore and a 91% fresh rating on the Tomatometer, generating positive word-of-mouth buzz. This film is seen as a rare, traditional comedy, contrasting with the trend of hybrid films and streaming dominance.
"Every passing year, more and more comedies go unmade, unseen, and unquoted," Liam Neeson solemnly intones in the clip, as scenes from Anchorman, Clueless, 1993's, and Beverly Hills Cop play in the background.
With its A- on the audience exit poll Cinemascore and 91 percent 'Fresh' rating on the Tomatometer stoking late-summer word-of-mouth buzz, The Naked Gun arrived as something of a cinematic unicorn.
