Trailer for the new movie with Liam Neeson.
I love the original Police Squad series and Naked Gun movies, so I was a bit leery when I first heard of this movie. I kind of like they're not doing a remake, but an actual sequel. Though I have my doubts it can even equal the comedic genius of the earlier offerings.
Still, I shall be cautiously optimistic.

The OJ Simpson bit was brutal.

Not sure how it's gonna be.
I know Liam Neeson has been wanting to break into comedy for a while.

This is a movie I don't think anyone was looking for, and quite honestly, they have such a high bar to meet, it feels like a poor idea to try. Would have been better to make their own police parody movie and not try to make it "Naked Gun".
For me, the trailer shows they failed to meet the bar, the whole bit about him disguising himself as a little girl was silly rather than funny to me, and off brand. Again, had they just gone for their own thing, wouldn't have been nearly such a problem to me.
I'm optimistic based on the trailer and the fact that Liam Neeson should be pretty good at playing all the jokes straight.

Disguise was a regular bit, but I don't recall him ever being disguised to a supernatural level and having a completely different actor play him. In the original Naked Gun, opening scene he's disguised as a waiter, just by his clothes. He's not played by a 4'2" 12 year old girl.
I didn't know it was directed by one of the Lonely Island guys. +1
