National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1

Day 61 3/2/09 - Movie #59

BEFORE: Picking up the parody film genre again - played trivia at Crash Mansion tonight, so I'm short on time, and I think this is a short film.

THE PLOT: An LA detective is murdered because she has microfilm with the recipe to make cocaine cookies. A "Lethal Weapon" style cop team tries to find and stop the fiends before they can dope the nation by distributing their wares via the "Wilderness Girls" cookie drive.

AFTER: It's a funny-enough parody of the buddy-cop genre, "Lethal Weapon" and all the other similar films of the late 80's and early 90's. Good cameos by Charlie Sheen and F. Murray Abraham. Nothing was overwhelmingly side-splitting funny, but there were a lot of little gags, like in "Airplane".

RATING: 6 out of 10 boxes of cookies
