Fans of absurdist, relentless comedy, rejoice! Comedy with a capital C has returned to the big screen with The Naked Gun. Directed by Akiva Schaffer and written by Schaffer, Doug Mand, and Dan Gregor,

Last week “The Naked Gun” opened, a reboot of the comedy film trilogy, which starred the sublimely oblivious Leslie Nielsen. Liam Neeson plays Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Nielsen’s character.

There’s probably nobody better to direct and write a movie like The Naked Gun reboot than Akiva Schaffer. He has a resume full of brilliant, dumb, joke-a-minute work. Together with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone he is a member of the comedy trio The Lonely Island.
