September 10, 2011Hot Shots! Is a spoof of Top Gun. This is a pretty funny film that has lots of memorable moments. The cast do a pretty decent job at bringing on the laughs, and each character is memorable. There are plenty of funny bits in the film, and as far as spoof films are concerned, Hot S... read more

April 24, 2011An okay spoof movie, it has a fair amount of funny jokes, but it could have been a lot better.

August 12, 2010Another funny farce. If you like anything by Mel Brooks, the Airplane films, or a Farrelly brothers masterpiece, then you'll love this.

August 8, 2010The gags and jokes are pretty darn funny. Watched this on Mother's Day of '09 with my cousin and all I can say we laughed and had a good time. But Hot Shots 2 is slightly better.

November 6, 2009Hot Shots is one of my favourite movies when it comes to comedy. It was made in a time that farting and burping weren't yet considered as the very best humour has to offer.
This film is very enjoyable when you don't know any of the movies this parody has been based on (very hard... read more -

May 21, 2009Probably the best spoof since the 'Naked Gun'. Sheen and Bridges really hit the mark as they lampoon Top Gun brilliantly. The effects are cheesey but good and the laughs range from childish to very smart. Spoofs and airplanes seem to work very well together.

Fred Topel, About.com
Great parody. Biting spoofs of Dances with Wolves, Top Gun and more.

Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner
Sheen is very good at the deadpan humor that makes these films fly.

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Doesn't acheive "Airplane!" (or even "Top Secret!") status, but there are more than enough chuckles to warrant a recommendation.

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...flags in the middle, some of its gags trying to reach too far for a laugh, but an adequate amount of it is good enough to make up for the rest.
