Psycho ground controllers (Stack and Bridges), laff-a-second pace, and bludgeoning innuendo make this the acceptable face of the locker-room satire.

There's hardly a second that passes without an assault by a wickedly accurate spoof, cringe-inducing pun or inspired sight gag, and the years have not diminished the film's dumb appeal.

The really great thing about Airplane! is that the jokes undercut your expectations so deftly.

Airplane! is a splendidly tacky, totally tasteless, completely insignificant flight, a gooney bird of a movie that looks as if it could never get off the ground and then surprises and delights with its free-spirited aerobatics.

Directors Abraham and both Zuckers create one of the few comedies that can guarantee almost a laugh a minute...

The fact that the movie doesn't work as well today as it did in 1980 in no way diminishes its importance in recent motion picture history.
