Movie Info

Yet another classic television series from the 1960s gets a big-screen update in this action-comedy inspired by the Bill Cosby/Robert Culp vehicle I Spy. Alex Scott (Owen Wilson) is a federal intelligence agent who has been assigned to find a particularly expensive and valuable weapon which has gone missing: a special stealth fighter jet which can not only hide from radar, but also turn invisible to the human eye. Scott learns a rogue agent has sold the jet to Gundars (Malcolm McDowell), a

Though ample time is spent mingling Murphy's jabberjaw locutions and Wilson's curveball spaciness, the film leaves only the bitter reek of a botched chemistry experiment.

I really resent a movie like this that just looks like it's made by a committee when you have two such huge talents wasted like this.

The trappings of I Spy are so familiar you might as well be watching a rerun.

TV classic remade as a forgettable buddy movie.

Serves up the expected gags and set pieces in service of a thoroughly been-there, done-that plot line.

A ótima química entre Eddie Murphy e Owen Wilson rende bons momentos.

Murphy and Wilson seem to be having a contest to see who can be more obnoxious and, sadly, it's too close to call.

Credit to Murphy and Wilson for making the most of it, but for Thomas it's a case of must spy harder.

Not a very funny movie. The story really is weak and barely good action comes our way. I saw this film pretty much for Owen Wilson since i'm not a Eddie Murphy movie fan per se. Watch at own risk!

When the Switchblade, the most sophisticated prototype stealth fighter created yet, is stolen from the U.S. government, one of the United States' top spies, Alex Scott, is called to action. What he doesn't expect is to get teamed up with a cocky civilian, World Class Boxing Champion Kelly Robinson, on a dangerous top secret espionage mission. Their assignment: using equal parts skill and humor, catch Arnold Gundars, one of the world's most successful illegal arms dealers, and foil his treacherous plans for the plane.

    1. Kelly Robinson: My hunches are correct 7 out of 10 times. That's a high-ass ratio!

    1. Alex Scott: Size matters, but in the Spy world its reverse. They say, look sleek and small and sexy this is, not how huge this is... how can I pull it out of my pants its huge!
