Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin, Jr.
It is not really a "reboot" (that's just lazy journalists misusing the
term again), but is actually a sequel with Liam Neeson playing the son
of Leslie Nielsen's character from the original movie.
Not having seen the trailer and ignoring my dislike of any resurrected
old series or movie, it seems like Liam Neeson is an incredibly bad
casting choice for a comedy movie.
well, to be fair, just about no one thought Leslie Nielsen
would transition, very succesfully, to comedy.
(saw him in Ransom [a] again a few weeks ago on
some seconday channel or another

I reviewed this on Usenet not too long ago.
