Entertainment Reviews:
The popcorn will probably stick with you longer than this silly saga but, if you need a few belly laughs, get a boarding pass. Airplane is the ultimate take-off.

Boston Globe
Rating: A+ --
Airplane! (1980) was a trend-setting, zany, hilarious comedy - using as its core material the airplane disaster film as the spoof's stepping stone, borrowing from the subplots of heavy-handed films in the 1970s decade.

Rating: 5/5 --
The really great thing about Airplane! is that the jokes undercut your expectations so deftly.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
The level of humor is not always consistent, but the filmmakers have thrown almost everything in with a shotgun approach and the routines work more often than not.

Hollywood Reporter
[A] cornucopia of geeky slapstick, self-referential jokes, and satirical pastiches...
Premiere
...Jokes -- hilarious jokes -- to spare....Clever and confident and furiously energetic...
New York Times
The gags aren't exactly clever, but there are a lot of them, and the cutting finds a fast, effective tempo.

Product Description:
The spoof comedy that set the gold standard for all that followed it, AIRPLANE takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that peppered cinemas in the 70s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot (who has a drinking problem and is afraid of flying) must cooperate with his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing. No disaster flick cliche is left unroasted, and the musical score itself takes a less than reverent look at overly melodramatic compositions.
