I like gags and I'm glad McFarlane stuck to the spirit of the franchise but this sort of movie will not connect with the modern audience. It should have been on Netflix where a niche (nowadays) comedy could find an audience. I mean, do people even laugh at light hearted humor anymore or just misery and misfortune befalling others?

What people tend to forget, is that Leslie was a serious dramatic actor until Airplane! showed his comedic chops. Even then what Leslie did was comedy... but not in the fashion people understood at the time. Leslie played his character straight while the world around him was absurd.

That's pretty much why the Naked Gun did so well, it was a dry humor in which Leslie was a serious police officer in a absurd world.

Sounds like Liam got it down, because the man has done tons of Drama films even before he started his Taken route.
