The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer pairs Pamela Anderson with the star of “Schindler’s List” for a comedy that takes everything — and nothing — seriously

That is the great gift of director and co-writer Akiva Schaffer ’s The Naked Gun (August 1), a continuation of the beloved 1980s and ’90s police spoof film series. At its best, this new Naked Gun is a dumb, loopy delight, a return to the kind of comedy that was woefully taken for granted in its heyday and now barely exists at all.

Director Akiva Schaffer co-wrote the song, "My Sweet Beth," which Neeson sings as a tribute to Pamela Anderson's character.
