Wednesday lttl Entertainment Page if MOVIE REVIEW Hot Shots a bit lukewarm GEORGETOWN CINEMAS 235 GUELPH STREET By JACKSON Herald Special Hot Shots this summers movie contribution to air farce has been playing in Georgetown for a number of weeks so I decid ed to check it out and see what the fuss is all about Funnier than Naked Gun the critics claim but this evatua tion certainly is no high accolade considering that cop comedy was a half Charlie Sheen plays Topper an exNavy actually ex- air force but this is supposed to be one of the movies jokes fighter pilot who has retreated from the world to live the peaceful life where the buffalo roam However you can take the man out of the Navy but you cant take the Navy out of the man Topper is haunted by the death of his flying partner a death for which he was responsible His fly ing paranoia is heightened by the eerie fact that his father also caused a pilots death and thus Topper refuses to follow in his fathers footsteps any longer But the Navy wants him back Commander Block needs Topper to assist the rest of the crazy air squad in a great battle Most notable of the pilots is Washout played by Jon Cryer Washout is visually impaired but determined to succeed in the force and his character is an amiable contrast to Topper and Kent played by Cary Elwes both of whom are the smuggest big shots around Some viewers may be to find Charlie Sheen starring in a comedy such as Hot Shots but fact he may have found his true calling His deadpan delivery of lines rivals that of appropriately enough Naked Gunner Leslie Lloyd Bridges on the other hand is more annoying than fun ny as an admiral whose body has seen too many battles His jokes are amusing in the movies com mercial but are tiresome when seen and heard in the actual Murphy is pregnant Thomson Newsservice The cast of Murphy Brown is growing On the season opener this fail fans will discover reporter Mur Bergen is feature Another problem with Hot Shots lies not in its plot nor in its humor but with the technical quality of the movie Some of the lines are muttered and sight gags go by too quickly leaving the au dience more bewildered than amused Sloppy sound editing and direction are inexcusable folks But Hot Shots is not a total recall It is a step above that crotch humor which made Nak ed Gun so irritating and some of the scenes made me laugh loud if not long The most memorable sequence is its send up of the sexy flick 9Vfe Weeks and it is a not for those who have seen the Kim Bassingerfilm If you do decide to see Hot Shots get to the theatre in time to catch the previews A film short called Mr Bean Goes to a Premier is slipped in before the feature Mr Bean hits the more effectively and with more style in three minutes than Hot Shots does
