Profile of Top Secret!

Top Secret! can be described as witty and humorous. The plot revolves around a goofy hero, espionage, and a daring rescue. Its comic aspect comes from silly humor. Top Secret!'s main genres are comedy and parody. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. The storytelling is fast paced. Top Secret! takes place during World War 2 and in the 1980s. The movie has received attention for being critically acclaimed. It is well suited for a date night and teens.

Summary of Top Secret!

Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker--of AIRPLANE! and NAKED GUN fame--wrote and directed this genre-hopping slapstick juggernaut which lampoons World War II spy films and Elvis movies, making many other satirical stops along the way. East Germany is planning a cultural festival, and invites rock-and-roll singer Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) (but only after Leonard Bernstein can't make it). The festival, however is a mere distraction so that the Germans can launch a secret attack on a submarine fleet without being detected. Nick soon finds himself involved with the French resistance, encountering slapstick gags and film parodies every time he turns around.

Well, I was a little disappointed in this movie. It was pretty off the wall, and that I enjoyed, but I dunno, maybe I am outgrowing this type of Comedy. Read and rate it

Nice

I have to admit even though it considered to one of the first and best parodic films, I got a little disappointed. it's nice, occasionally amuzing, but I've seen funnier parodies. maybe it's because the gags and the humor are a bit old for these... Read and rate it
