Spies Like Us

Pros: Frequently funny, Chase and Akroyd
Cons: Too silly for its own good sometimes, no intelligent humour!

Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd team up as possibly the worst spies in all history (even worse than those in “Carry On Spying”!) in this lightweight but likeable comedy. Spies Like Us has the comedy duo come together for a CIA training programme to ...

Pros: Funny, entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Will be too silly for some people.

There are many older comedies that I still really enjoy when I watch them. Chevy Chase was in several of those movies. I first saw Spies Like Us< b>< i> many years ago and really enjoyed it. I will leave it on when I find it on television and I ...

Pros: Funny and Chase and Aykroyd are at their near best

Pros: Chase and Aykroyd keep their clothes on. Not over the top like much of their work.
Cons: Overly complicated with the various subplots. Pace could be better maintained with some cropping.

Although I'm not a Chevy Chase fan, the script more than makes up for any shortcomings on his part. This is a nice little piece of work, with a good budget, and fine production values. Aykroyd (who co-wrote this) is best, as in Ghostbusters, as a...

Pros: Aykroyd and Chase are spectacular
Cons: None

Ok, this movie is pure comedy. Absolutely hilarious.

There are scenes in this movie unmatched in the entire history of movies, such as the test scene where Chase comes in all bandaged up with an eye patch and everything.

As the...

Pros: absolutely funny
Cons: does not last much

Spies like us is definitely one of my favorite comic movies. The Chevy Chase + Dan Aykroyd combination is absolutely perfect. I bought this tape a few years ago and still laugh watching it. Get it when you are bored, or depressed or have guests. It is...
