  • Starring: Eddie Murphy, Famke Janssen, Owen Wilson
  • Summary: Fists fly and the fighting gets down and dirty when undefeated middle-weight champion Kelly Robinson (Murphy) finally meets his match, Bureau of National Security super-agent Alex Scott (Wilson), in this hilarious adventure. It's hate at first sight when the two are unwittingly paired up to track down the Air Force's missing stealth bomber, the country's new top secret weapon. (Sony Pictures)… Expand

    A loose, lighthearted romp that's a notch above the usual buddy comedies.

    No less than four screenwriters are credited, yet the script is filled with the usual clichés (hello, red digital readout!) and supposed twists that can be seen a mile away.

    Their (Murphy/Wilson) exchanges and interplay are so campy and over the top that I kept expecting them to pull out frying pans and start bopping each other over the head with them. I Spy is one just Stooge short of homage.

    An overblown clunker full of bad jokes, howling cliches and by-the-numbers action sequences.

    I must have seen this movie at least a dozen times. I don't understand why the critics gave it such a low rating - I would recommend this movie to anyone!… Collapse

    A very funny movie. The banter between Wilson and Murphy is hilarious, and the actions scenes are entertaining and fun. It could use a bit more depth, but overall it is a very good action comedy buddy movie.… Expand
