Theatrical expansion of the failed TV show "Police Squad!" managed to catch on with laugh-hungry audiences of the late '80's and became a surprise success. The plot is really secondary to the sketches as eternally stupid police lieutenant Frank Drebin acts as bodyguard to the Queen of England on her visit to the US. Leslie Nielsen has 'befuddled' down to an expert science, but this comedy, although way out there at times for the sake of a gag, is weak in spots and pretty much follows the same skit-like pattern of its second cousin, "Airplane!" A few big laughs, but it totally fizzles out before the finale. Followed by two sequels, the last of which even managed to succeed this original in terms of outrageousness, appealing to that silly side of our collective humor while keeping the brain in neutral.
