Make no mistake, this is far from even mediocre "National Lampoon" material. I mean the "beaver shot" might be the cream of the crappy jokes. Not funny. Not interesting. Even the numerous cameos are almost all wasted. Samuel L. Jackson in this movie makes "The Man" look like Oscar material. By comparison, "National Lampoon's Vacation" rates a 8.0, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" 7.0, "National Lampoon's Gold Diggers" 6.0., "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" 7.5. In short, "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1" rates a 1.0 and is a failed attempt, which lacks interesting plot, interesting characters, and should be avoided unless you can take the punishment of a boring, unfunny, comedy. - MERK
