Critics Consensus: Loaded Weapon 1 hits all the routine targets with soft squibs, yielding a tired parody that cycles through its laundry list of references with little comedic verve.

David Nusair

...a decent-enough parody film that feels like it could (and should) be better.

Neither Estevez nor Jackson displays much sense of comic edge. So after 15 minutes or so, "Loaded Weapon" becomes a shaggy cop story, a pointless joke that runs on ad nauseam.

If I listened closely, I could hear faint snores. (The more I think about it, they might have been my own.)

There is enough material to provide grins and, sometimes, guffaws.

There are enough serious laughs to suggest that Quintano may give the Abrahams-Zucker team (Naked Gun; Airplane) substantial competition in the mainstream parody business.
