Nothing special, but for fans of Murphy or Wilson it'll be worth a look once it hits video stores.

Reviews for I Spy
Murphy and Wilson together are the charm here -- if the two of them, especially in their scenes together, don't have you at least giggling, then I suggest you visit the doctor to make sure you still have a pulse.

... goes for the easy laugh rather than pushing in a new direction. It's a loosely constructed vehicle, probably on purpose.

Top CriticRemember when movie versions of old TV shows actually took the trouble of lining up cameos of the series' old stars? Or at least followed the general contours of the original series?

Witless rehash of 1960s TV action-comedy has star power to waste -- and waste it does.

There are bad scenes in 'I Spy', so by Hawks’s definition it is not a good movie. However, it does meet the first half of the definition. At least, I laughed repeatedly at more than three scenes. Perhaps Hawks would have defined that as an okay movie

Its isolated moments of comedic near-brilliance punctuate long stretches of absolutely nothing.

Too much of the humor falls flat.

A so-so buddy comedy.

If you liked Bad Company, you'll love I Spy!!

I Spy something lazy, slow, shallow, stupid, amateurish, unfunny, unsuspenseful, uninformed, unspeakably dull and witlessly written, directed and acted.
10/31/02
Top CriticThe execution is so dumbed-down, so dumbfounding, that sophisticated moviegoers might confuse it for outtakes from Spy Kids 2 and XXX.
10/31/02
Top CriticHumor in I Spy is so anemic.
10/31/02
Top CriticJust plain generic.
10/31/02
Top CriticWith none of the series' famous sophistication and wit, all audiences will get from this film is nostalgia for TV's good old days.
10/31/02
More dead spots than a Jerry Lewis telethon.

Top CriticThe film hopes to emulate the frantic action of a good video game, but the best video games are carefully designed. I Spy, on the other hand, is a total wreck.
10/31/02
Top CriticA thinly veiled excuse for Wilson to play his self-deprecating act against Murphy's well-honed prima donna shtick.

I Spy” made me laugh. It's a blast.
10/31/02
The reason we keep seeing the same movie with roughly the same people every year is because so many of us keep going and then, out of embarrassment or stupidity, not warning anyone.
