Movie

Busted

1997 · 86 min

A scattershot, lowbrow spoof that coasts on goofy cop-movie gags and crude jokes, more chaotic than clever.

Tagline: Faster than a speeding "Airplane." More powerful than a "Naked Gun."
Overview: The sleepy summer resort of Amity houses the wildest and craziest officers on the entire Eastern Seaboard, particularly since they're hookers! When the town Mayor hires Captain Mary Mae to head up the station, she discovers new meaning to the term "vice squad".
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Crime, corruption, gender, work
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
