This film is structurally a clone of The Naked Gun, not that there's anything wrong with that. Robert Goulet plays the villain this time, and instead of The Queen being the VIP-in-danger, we have an energy advisor to the President.
Overall, this film is pretty good, but IMHO not quite as good as The Naked Gun, which I rated one star higher. BUT -- this sequel had more intense LOL moments (e.g., the "dance" and "shower" scenes); the original simply had me smiling more consistently. So which film is "better" is probably a personal value judgment. For me the original was better on *average*, and the short-lived TV show (Police Squad!) was actually the pinnacle.
I give this six (6) stars. It has some good movie-spoof scenes.
