May 18, 2024, 07:55:45 PM Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami BeachSun, fun and babes in shades. Where else but Miami Beach? Buffoons, blockheads and party-hearty animals. Who else but the Police Academy gang? Put them all together for Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach, the caper that takes our klutzy cops on the road. Our badge-carrying bunglers are in Miami for a convention honoring Cmdt. Lassard. But crime doesn't take a vacation, even if our heroes do. Lassard is kidnapped. And not even the lure of limbo beach parties will stop the intrepid troopers' uproarious rescue attempts. So join your armed and hilarious favorites. If there's a Most Wanted List for laughter, these loony coppers have just gotta be on it. |
I enjoyed this one slightly more than the 4th movie, but it still has some issues. The plot is very silly, but I still find it entertaining overall. This is the first time Nick, Lassard's nephew, turns up. He's a cop in Miami and ends up involved in what is going on. There isn't an explanation for where Mahoney is, or any of the other characters that aren't back. The humor is very silly, with some of it just stupid. Several characters play tricks on Harris again..and while that is predictable, it is kind of entertaining. The movie is a bit different since the location changes, but that is the only difference. There really isn't anything new or different and most of what happens is predictable.
People who have liked the other movies might find something to like...or they may be disappointed since it isn't as good as the earlier movies.
I did post a review at Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.

| Overview | Marian (Karen Black) and Ben (Oliver Reed) find it hard to believe that for only $900 they've rented a sprawling old country mansion for the entire summer. But as they settle into their isolated estate with their son and Ben's aunt (Bette Davis), they find themselves surrounded by a living presence, an evil, hypnotic, occult force that feeds on torture, fear and murder. ...Burnt Offerings |
| My thoughts | You can't go wrong with Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Burgess Meredith and Bette Davis, right? Well, no, not in this case anyway. The only fly in the ointment is the kid, Lee Montgomery. I found him a bit annoying, but not to the point where it hurts the film. The really scary character, though, is Anthony James as the leering chauffeur. And Karen Black at the very end of the film. It's not the scariest haunted house film, but it is quite creepy at times. It builds up rather slowly, but I never got bored. This isn't really my favorite genre, but I still found it entertaining enough. |
