A comedy with forced humor and poor story, filled with a bunch of dumb characters.
A new generation at the crazy police academy.
After the disappointment that was Police Academy 4, this one succeeds in delivering some funny scenes and nice laughs here and there. The script is more structured than the previous movie and all the scenes are played for laughs which is better than the last movie trying to make us care for Zed and his love affair out of nowhere.
The hijinks continue, and this installment is more fun than it has any right to be. Collects some of the more fun characters and utilizes them to their best abilities. Some pretty funny gags in this one.
A new generation for the Police Academy.

Incredibly dumb and slapstickish, Police Academy 5: Assignment - Miami Beach is a mass of stupidity. The Policy Academy's finest head to Miami when Commandant Lassard is set to be honored as Police Officer of the Decade at the National Police Chiefs Convention, but when a bumbling thief accidentally switches luggage with Lassard hijinks ensue. Steve Guttenberg is MIA, and his absence is felt. And while Matt McCoy steps in as a Mahoney like character, he’s a poor substitute. But what’s really missing is the team dynamic, as the characters are written as one-note jokes. Spectacularly awful, Police Academy 5: Assignment - Miami Beach is an embarrassment to the series.
