DVD Reviews of Top Secret!
DVD Review: I wonder if Val Kilmer happily publicizes the fact that this is his film debut?
Summary: 3 Stars
"Top Secret!" is a classic example of that wildly popular film genre, the "combination World War II spy movie and Elvis movie romance/ comedy/parody". I'm being silly, but my dumb joke essentially sums up what's good and bad about this goofy romp: if you're familiar with the genres being raked over the coals in the movie, you'll have a good time. If you're not so familiar with those types of films (in other words, if you're under 30 and only watch new stuff on TV), this movie will mostly leave you at sea.
Myself, I'm not so old but DO like to watch a lot of old stuff on TV and DVD, so I had fun with the jokes and the sensibilities being mocked. Having said that, though, I still would rank "Top Secret!" only somewhere in the middle of the Abrahams/Zucker film canon. There just weren't enough laugh-out-loud moments, and a couple of the gross jokes were a little too, well... gross (not that I was offended, just kinda nauseated). On that last point, let me share a bit of advice: you might want to scoot the kids and pre-teens out of the room before you watch this movie, unless you feel like answering questions about the outrageously-in-bad-taste "marital aid" featured in the prison cell scene with Val Kilmer. Or the "violation" scene when the two guys are wearing the cow suit. I admit I'm chuckling a bit now as I think of those scenes (see, I'm not a prude), but I'm certainly glad it was just me and my wife in the room when we recently watched the film on DVD.
Oh, and if you think MY comments about the movie are only lukewarm positive, wait'll you hear the commentary track. The Abrahams/Zucker folks, though dropping a few affectionate comments here and there and admiring a sight gag or two, essentially hate the movie and wonder what they were thinking when they made it. Myself, I think they were being a little harsh. If you don't expect the world, "Top Secret!" is a tolerable and moderately entertaining bit of silliness.
