Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Dr_Sagan Haven't see the original TV-series. Maybe there is a plot to follow? I don't know. The way I see it, this is an action comedy with 2 charismatic leading actors and a Famke Janssen who looks really sexy.The laughs are coming for the chemistry between the loud mouth arrogant Murphy and the shy yet clever Wilson. It is not as hilarious as the Hill Street's actress-turned-director Betty Thomas might hope, but is an easy going fun movie.Did I say Famke Janssen looks sexy in this? Oh! Sorry.Anyway, I think is better than 2008's "Get Smart". Less slapstick, which is a good thing, so if you come across it, check it out...

jonelvandemark The movie was a great adventure. I love spy gadgets. I even visited a spy shop in queens where I purchased this movie and they sell tons of spy wear. The creative forces behind the show were writers David Friedkin and Morton Fine and cinematographer Fouad Said. Together they formed Triple F Productions under the aegis of Desilu Studios where the show was produced. Fine and Friedkin (who previously wrote scripts for radio's Broadway Is My Beat and Crime Classics under producer/director Elliott Lewis) were co-producers and head writers, and wrote the scripts for 16 episodes, one of which Friedkin directed. Friedkin also dabbled in acting and appeared in two episodes in the first season.Actor-producer Sheldon Leonard, best known for playing gangster roles in the 1940s and '50s, was the executive producer (receiving top billing before the title in the series' opening title sequence). He also played a gangster-villain role in two episodes and appeared in a third show as himself in a humorous cameo. In addition, he directed one episode and served as occasional second-unit director throughout the series.I Spy was banned from being shown by certain television stations in the South due to the showcasing of an African-American (Bill Cosby) in a leading role.This movie is great for kids and the family.

score-10 This is an unexpectedly classy spoof, possibly the best in some while and certainly the best that Eddie M has done since Trading Places. The movie obviously spoofs the Cruise Mission Impossible as well as the superspy/secret agent genre in general, including the original TV series but is vastly more amusing than Neilson's and Atkinson's more or less contemporary offerings. The gags are not 'cookie cutter' and the action/drama actually has tension/suspense too.The support cast is fine with femme fatale Fannke (?) playing her part perfectly while Wilson entertains as the Bond wannabe; unless some FX was involved, Eddie is in amazing physical shape. The story, screenplay and direction are well done. The gods were in a sour mood indeed for this film to not have done better at the box office; ce la vie

juldobos Though now I live in the US, I was born in Hungary, saw the changes the country went through and know at least the very basics that most everyone knows about this old and beautiful country - except the idiot "director" of the movie I Spy. I understand that she's way too old to make movies to begin with and especially old to get at least a little tiny bit close to what you'd call true representation. She must still live in the 60s when Hungary used to be quite different than in the last 20 years.I mean, come on.... it's not only unfair to use 30-35 years old (!) police cars in the movie that takes place in 2002 but showing the population of the country as if 95% of it was even older the the "director" (over 90 years old) and as if all Hungarians were smelly jerks who don't shave their armpits is simple premature, moronic, and above anything: extraordinarily amateurish. Not that the rest of the movie is great - it's not. The acting isn't bad but the dumb, dumb script and the entire production quality (incl. action sequences footage, visual fxs, not-original music and especially the location sound) are awful, match the up-to-dateness of the 35 y.o. police car. Really, really low-key. Just like our pathetic "director".ps please, if Betty Thomas or her representation reads this email, email me at [email protected] I work in the film industry on a pretty high level, and would be very interested in talking to you about this movie. I mean, there must be something that I don't get..
