I Spy

Pros: Enough funny moments to be worth matinee.
Cons: Probably not going to be worth full price.

Having nothing else to pop off to see this weekend, my friends and I decided to go and catch "I Spy". The trailers looked decent, and Owen Wilson's only been in one mediocre movie so far, so I figured, may as well.

Plot

Owen...

Pros: A few genuine comic moments.
Cons: Very few laughs, boring action scenes, weak story.

Where hath thou gone thou funny comedic actor Eddie Murphy? Why hath thou such lousy taste in picking scripts? From classics like 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop and Coming To America to horrendous garbage ranging from Harlem Nights to Vampire In Brooklyn ...

Pros: humor, Wilson, sometimes Murphy
Cons: cliche-packed, lacks originality

Owen Wilson might just be one of the most underrated Hollywood 'funny guys' lighting up the big screen today, but you would have had to put up with a lot of mediocre-at-best films to notice it. He's charming, and has a certain sarcastic appeal to him...

Pros: Two thumbs up!!!!
Cons: Couldn't understand many of Murphy's lines

When watching a comedy, I've noticed, it helps if you are in the mood to watch a comedy. I figure that I was and many of the other reviewers that gave I Spy only tepid ratings were not. How else could they give this movie only three stars. I Spy was ...

Pros: Eddie and Owen.
Cons: No originality whatsoever.

I Spy is a quintessentially Hollywood product, an action comedy that serves up the expected gags and set pieces in service of a thoroughly been-there, done-that plot line. But what it lacks in originality it compensates for in...

Pros: The first half, starring Murphy and Wilson.
Cons: The second half.

I expected nothing out of this movie, due in large part to Eddie Murphy's recent string of disasters. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the enjoyable first half, before it degenerated into the trite and less clever finale. Being a relative ...

Pros: Some good laughs, Wilson and Murphy.
Cons: Lousy Plot, logic holes.

I have often bemoaned in my reviews the shortage of new ideas in Hollywood, as many recent films seem to lack original ideas and seem to be more style than substance. I enjoy a good diversion film as much as the next person, and I know that there is...

Pros: A couple of decent moments. Nice cinematography.
Cons: Average lead performances. Bad screenplay.

Betty Thomas has proven herself to be a gifted director of comedy. "The Brady Bunch Movie" had t ...

Pros: The combination Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. Good action. It's locations.
Cons: An unoriginal, silly story. But who the f*ck cares? This is a buddie-flick.

"I Spy"-the new action/comedy starring Eddie Murphy, Owen Wilson and Femke Janssen, may look like a total waste for many people. Mainly because the film is based on the ol' series which had the same title, and starred Bill Cosby.
Believe me. It's...

Pros: The film ended when it did
Cons: It could have been longer

Have you ever watched a movie and right in the middle of it, you find your mind wandering to other things like did you pay the phone bill, what you want for dinner, did you take the laundry out of the dryer? Well, this is exactly what happened to me...

Pros: Nice banter between Murphy and Wilson, light comedy
Cons: low-voltage action

Eddie Murphy tries to revive his career after a number of flops, including PLUTO NASH and some break-even sequels like NUTTY PROFESSOR II and DR. DOOLITTLE II. His choice is the movie adaptation of another old TV series, I SPY. And his movie buddy of...

Pros: decent plot
Cons: somewhat entertaining, Eddie Murphy was acting like an idiot!

I don't know about you guys but I liked it better when Owen Wilson was with Jackie Chan, those movies were much better. How to describe this one...somewhat entertaining. It was not as funny as I had hoped it would be, the plot was decent the acting was...

Pros: Likable characters, funny moments
Cons: cliche'd story line, predictable

I recently checked out this movie with my girlfriend, and it wasn't that bad. There were some really funny moments and some moments where other people laughed, but I didn't think it was that funny. Eddy Murphy was really funny in this movie, and Owen...

Pros: One great scene
Cons: 101 awful scenes

Take a great TV show, add $100,000,000, a really bad script, and some of the worst acting I've seen since my daughter's 4th grade play -- and what do you get? I Spy.

Without a doubt, this is the worst movie I've seen in a theater in a long...

Pros: Funny....
Cons: Hmmmm....

Owen Wilson plays Special Agent Alexander Scott, a bumbling government spy who's teamed up with the narcissistic boxing phenomenon Kelly Robinson (Murphy) to hunt down a top-secret airplane that's been stolen from the United States military. The plane is...
