When Charlie Sheen knew what he was doing. The "Hot Shots" are the main draw to the movie as any comedy should have. The physical comedy and wordplay within jokes is a very good satire on 80s action movies. Although I haven't seen 'Top Gun' which the film is clearly spoofing.

Though Charlie Sheen and Valeria Golino are good and funny, it's Lloyd Bridges who steals the movie for me. Always funny in every scene, he really was a highlight from his 80s and 90s spoofs. With his idiotic yet ingenious lines, he is the main reason to watch this movie. But all the other actors are really good, but I think that Jon Cryer's character was underused and a bit too over the top.

But it's an all-around good comedy with some great lines. I rewatch this with my dad at least once every 2 years and we always find a new joke that wasn't visible beforehand. If you like 'Airplane!', then you'll enjoy this film for its creative jokes and for it not having a boring moment.
