Satisfyingly silly slapstick. It’s a satire of James Bond, TV cop shows and Chandleresque detective stories. Leslie Nielson is lovable as the utterly buffoonish Frank Drebin and Priscilla Presley is excellent as his girlfriend. The jokes are extremely childish and basic, and all the more funny for it. Some of the baseball references passed me by, but that in no way reduced the enjoyment.
