Airplane! Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Michael Blowen
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ron Pennington
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.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Airplane! is a splendidly tacky, totally tasteless, completely insignificant flight, a gooney bird of a movie that looks as if it could never get off the ground and then surprises and delights with its free-spirited aerobatics.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker, who share both writing and directorial credits, become so desperate for laughs that the jokes descend to a much cruder level.

[VIDEO ESSAY] The film's mixed bag of cultural references spill out faster than you can catch them.
People Magazine
Ralph Novak
From takeoff to landing, this whacked-out parody is a loopy flight of fancy.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Directors Abraham and both Zuckers create one of the few comedies that can guarantee almost a laugh a minute...
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
Charmingly dated, but still immeasurably funny.
Common Sense Media
Elliot Panek
Rapid-fire spoof with sexual jokes and cartoon violence.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A hyper spoof of disaster films.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Entering imto Mel Brooks' turf, the first lampoon of the disaster-in-the-air subgenre (such as the prepoterously Oscar nominated Airport) is silly but funny, with many good sight gags, campy one-liners and slapstick comedy.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
Most of the jokes are groan-worthy, and some are downright racist.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The gags aren't exactly clever, but there are a lot of them, and the cutting finds a fast, effective tempo.
Variety
Variety Staff
From the clever Jaws take-off opening to the final, irreverent title card, laughs come thick and fast.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is sophomoric, obvious, predictable, corny, and quite often very funny. And the reason it's funny is frequently because it's sophomoric, predictable, corny, etc.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Sustains a single premise for its entire running time, and does so without lagging or going limp.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Airplane! is more than a pleasant surprise, in the midst of this dim movie season. As a remedy for the bloated self-importance of too many other current efforts, it's just what the doctor ordered.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The spoof that launched a thousand parodies -- this is the one that's 100% funny.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
A comedy classic!
