A cop comes out of retirement to go undercover.

2.5/4 (Okay).

The jokes are sparser and dumber. They're often not funny, and sometimes don't even manage to function as jokes. But still, it doesn't attempt to do anything but make you laugh, so it can't go too far wrong.
A cop uncovers a plot to assassinate the queen of England.

2.5/4 (Okay).

It's got some good gags, but it's no Airplane.
Energy companies try to silence a scientist.

2.5/4 (Okay).

A non-stop barrage of bad jokes. I kind of like bad jokes.
Fighter pilots prepare for a mission.

1/4 (Bad).

Outside of WWII-era propaganda films, I don't think I've ever seen a more pro-war or blindly patriotic war movie. There are a few good jokes in it, but they rarely land.
