Surely You Can’t Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane! – by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker

Posted on October 18, 2023 by Mark Lieberman

I wouldn’t call Airplane! my favorite comedy movie of all time, but it does rank in my top 10! Please don’t ask for this list now as I would really have to think about it. Ok, now I am thinking about it so here it goes: Animal House, Coming to America, Caddyshack, National Lampoon Vacation (all of them), Dumb and Dumber, The Hangover, and Harold and Kumar (all of them) would be on that short list.

Written by the writers and directors of the movie, ZAZ for short, the three of them tell the story of how they got started, how they got the cast casted, and how they made the movie. Also included are interviews from the cast, the crew, and a lot of people who were influenced by the movie.

I did have quite a few LOL moments throughout the book, and even watched the trailer. Overall, I really enjoyed the book.
