The level of absurdity in "Top Secret" is off the scale even for comedy-absurd. East Germany, the Third Reich, the French Resistance and the 80s are intertwined here. Surprisingly, such a degree of insanity at some point even begins to amuse. There are many simple and predictable gags in the film. They're not fun. There are some good jokes that you can laugh at. What is a priest worth in prison? I also liked the spies' code phrases. It is a pity that this fertile topic was not developed. A lot of 80s humor in movies. For example, a reference to Leroy Neumann and a joke about an actor who could become president. After viewing it became clear where Sacha Baron Cohen plagiarized his Brothers from Grimsby, so outraged the public.
Since comedy is generally funny, it justifies its existence and is worth watching.
