Superstar Eddie Murphy teams up with Owen Wilson for a hilarious, action packed thrill ride. A super powerful experimental spy plane is stolen by an evil arms dealer and is about to be handed over to an international terrorist. The U.S. Government drafts an egotistical boxing star (Murphy) to join a suave special agent (Wilson) on a dangerous top secret mission to get the plane back. Armed with the latest high tech gadgets and a whole lot of attitude, this ultimate odd couple might be able to save the world- if they can just get along. (Mediumrare Entertainment)

There are a couple of funny moments, but I was bored for most of the 100 minutes of the film. I didn't mind the hackneyed "the bad guys stole our plane and we, the US government, want it back" scheme, but rather that many scenes want to be terribly funny, but aren't, and many times miss the point. Eddie Murphy has once again squandered his rare comedic talent and I'm afraid this film will not be his return to the limelight.

Another in a series of below-average comedies in which Eddie Murphy gradually depreciated his talent. The subject is worn-out, the script superficial and unremarkable, attempts at jokes usually miss the mark. This kind of comedic production for the thoughtless crowd passes me by completely. Overall impression : 25%.

I Spy is dumb and easily forgettable, but it’s rather entertaining. The central duo go together superbly. Their joint infiltration of Famke Janssen’s bed brought me to my knees with laughter. A less sophisticated comedy than Showtime, but much funnier.
