Entertainment Reviews:
5 stars out of 5 -- [W]ithout doubt one of the funniest movies ever made.
Total Film
[T]he contrarian casting of deadpan actors like Leslie Nielsen reinvented careers by making every utterance a punchline. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
[A] cornucopia of geeky slapstick, self-referential jokes, and satirical pastiches...
Premiere
Rating: 5/5 --
There's hardly a second that passes without an assault by a wickedly accurate spoof, cringe-inducing pun or inspired sight gag, and the years have not diminished the film's dumb appeal.

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

Daily Telegraph (UK)
...Jokes -- hilarious jokes -- to spare....Clever and confident and furiously energetic...
New York Times
One of the reasons why Airplane! works as well as it does is because of those actors who play their lines with a deadpan performance.

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.
