While not being their best work, Top Secret! is full of enough hilarious jokes to please Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker fans. Nick Rivers, a very popular American Rock Star is invited to Germany to perform the first ever German rock and roll show. There he meets Hillary, a member of the underground of whom Rivers gets involved with, risking his life! Most people should enjoy this film and find most of the jokes funny with its laugh-a-minute set up. A hit-and-miss comedy, but I’m happy to report that most of them are hits! Val Kilmer's movie debut.
