Hot Shots! (1991)

What's it about:
This is a spoof of the movie "Top Gun". The hero, Topper Harley is an US fighter pilot with a reputation to get other pilots into trouble. He is brought back into the force for another mission. His late father also had such a notorious reputation. His dad's shadow looms large over him.
       He also encounters a psychiatrist and falls in love. He has his rivalry with another co-pilot in the force. Finally, he gets his act together and succeeds in his mission in a typically silly manner.
    Everything is told in a very funny and light way. Exactly, how a spoof ought to be.

                                                                      
Hits
  • Most of the jokes work well. 
  • Lloyd Bridges as Adm. Thomas 'Tug' Benson is a total riot with his sheer idiocy, lack of memory and buffoonery. He is the highlight of the movie
VERDICT
Provides the laughs. Nothing more was expected
