United States	Miami Herald	" Introducing National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I, a spoof that takes aim, with hilarious results, at blockbusters from Lethal Weapon to Basic Instinct"	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"More an imitation than a parody, this would-be comedy is very short on laughs"	NEG
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"There may not be a laugh every minute, but there are enough to satisfy most devotees of the relentlessly silly, tasteless school of parody."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This is a would-be comedy that's not as funny (nor as satirical) as the movies that inspired it. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune	"A hit and mostly miss parody"	NEU
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Watching 'Loaded Weapon 1' is like playing Trivial Pursuit with experts. It's exhausting"	NEG
