Film critic Amy Nicholson wants you to get stupid with “The Naked Gun,” a comedy she feels is worth your time and money. Liam Neeson might be your stereotypical Hollywood tough gun, but he might also be one of the funniest actors today.

She is a current on-air voice at LAist and KCRW, and a member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. and the National Society of Film Critics.
