It's no Airplane! or Naked Gun -- hell, it isn't even Hot Shots! Part Deux -- but it had me pressing the pause button several times to catch my breath, usually in any scene ripping into the godawful Signs. Narratively, Anna Faris is the protagonist, but Charlie Sheen is the real hero here. He really knows how to do this kind of movie, so well that he can turn his rather humdrum opening gag into something hilarious. The big gags are rarely funny, admittedly (except for the excellent Teleprompter bit), but there's always a minor bit of business that kills (Sheen singing along to the Mexican Hat Dance is my favorite moment). Not sure why anyone would care that non-horror films get spoofed here; I haven't seen the first two (and I can't imagine I need to), but I'm sure most of the horror material was exhausted there. As disposable as you might expect for a film that tries to have a joke every 1.5 seconds, but not without charm.
