You probably laughed uproariously at Airplane! and The Naked Gun. By contrast, you might potentially smile ever so slightly (or not) at director David Zucker's latest effort—a 30-second tourism commercial for his home state of Wisconsin. The ad, which begins airing this week in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul, shows the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra getting into a snowball fight while performing "Winter Wonderland" at the Riverside Theater. Frankly, it needs a little Leslie Nielsen (RIP).
