Critics' reviews

"The gags of this 'Academy' are blunt and literal, delivered without the careful set-ups or rhythms that, in the hands of a Laurel and Hardy, can make physical comedy into its own kind of poetry"

Variety Staff: Variety
"Despite the final escape of star Steve Guttenberg, and the loss, long since, of the original director and writers, this is almost a good movie"

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"'Police Academy 5' presents a patchwork of ideas borrowed from a score of wittier and better-done comedies, not to mention earlier entries in the series. In short, it's exactly what you would expect it to be"

TV Guide
"Pretty terrible sequel in every respect"

William Thomas: Empire
"I didn't laugh once during the entire film-not at the slapstick, not at the humor, all of which is pitched at the preschool level."

Gene Siskel: Chicago Tribune
