This should have been Alec Baldwin, Liam Neeson isn't funny.
They said that about Leslie Nielsen at the time too.
As a huge fan of Police Squad/Naked Gun(s) I think Liam Neeson is a perfect fit to honour a legend.
I don’t think Neeson is the problem… I worry about the writing. It’s not going to be as silly or as funny as the original. Just another remake…
I’m a humourless grumpy old bastard that lost the lust for life a while ago. The trailer made me literally laugh out loud.
The only question, for me, is if they can keep the jokes coming for 90 minutes.
He's is actually great at improv. Here's a clip.
He's relentless
that's why I said that he's not Funny. Ricky and Stephen can make that scene work with King Charles.
I think that’s why Neeson might be a success. Leslie Nielsen reacted to absurd situations with deadpan seriousness. He was an excellent clueless straight man.
Neeson himself doesn’t have to be very funny. As long as what’s happening around him is the right kind of humor, it could work.
