from The American Culture recommend PG rated "Top Secret"
This, in my view, is Kilmer's best movie. As with all actors in ZAZ comedies, he just plays it straight and the humor comes rolling out. And, mirabile dictu, he sings and dances very well. He could have become a master of light comedy, like Cary Grant, but unlike Grant he brought that leaden method-acting approach to too many of his later serious roles and neglected to continue developing his comedic talents.
Nevertheless, we shouldn't overlook those plumb perfect song parodies of Elvis, the Beach Boys, Little Richard, and others, performed flawlessly by Kilmer.
