Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★★★½ 25

I feel like we don't talk about the lady who fucked a horse enough
Review by Patrick Willems ★★★★ 23

At one point Leslie Nielsen has a line that's not funny and I thought "I hope that pays off" and then it pays off twice and gets funnier each time
Review by Jeff ★★★★★ 25

1) It's been scientifically proven that this is the funniest movie of all time, so we don't need to have that conversation any more.
2) I thought jive was an actual language until I was maybe 13.
3) For some odd reason the visual gag of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar being pulled away from the cockpit wearing his Lakers gear and goggles is one of my favorite jokes in the movie.
4) This movie is rated PG but has boobs in it, as well as tons of other stuff not really appropriate for children. Luckily, the 80s were a different time and I was allowed to watch this about a billion times.
5) I've seen this a billion times and still caught a joke I had never noticed before.
Review by russman ★★★★ 4

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit Letterboxd
Review by Ethan ❄️ 2

“Nervous?”
“Yes.”
“First time?”
“No, I've been nervous lots of times.”
Review by Amanda ★★★★½ 4

"Captain, how soon can we land?"
"I can't tell."
"You can tell me, I'm a doctor."
"No, I mean I'm not sure."
"Can't you take a guess?"
"Well... not for another two hours."
"You can't take a guess for another two hours?"
Review by adambolt ★★★

i think my favorite joke in this is that exact same shot of the plane they cut to like eighty times
Review by Bryan Espitia ★★★★★ 14

They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let ‘em crash.
Review by Karsten ★★★★½ 5

Every Thanksgiving my family watches this and it never gets old. I’ve seen it over 10 times and I’m still discovering new jokes. One of my favorite comedies of all time...maybe my favorite.
Review by Jakie Cake$ ★★★★½

Jim never vomits at home
