Dragnet...it sounds like a winner for the stupidest title of a comedy film.
It's been more than two decades since I last saw the movie. The only thing I remember the most about it is Dan Aykroyd and
Tom Hanks doing the dance with goat leggings on in their superior's office (the captain is Harry Morgan of M*A*S*H).
It's hilarious, and there are other funny moments, too.
Tom Hanks is primarily responsible for making the film a comedy because without him, it'll have sunk to the
bottom of the ocean like a stone. However, the last thirty minutes has left me snoozing. The watch with TV that Tom Hanks
has on is amazing for the mid 80's which was for real.
All in all, Dragnet should've stuck with the funny parts while cutting out the violence.
