I Spy

             This is a rather typical buddy comedy, but the comedians involved are both extremely funny. Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy have an extremely good chemistry, and work off each other in a hilarious way. They have just the right amount of action and joking, and the plot, though quite thin, is held up long enough to be entertaining.

            Wilson is a secret agent who feels he is always getting shortchanged in the shadow of super secret agent Carlos, when he gets his first big assignment, he must partner with a high profile person in order to infilstrate his enemies circle. Eddie Murphy is as high profile as they come, as he is the best boxer in the world. And quite proud of it too.

            They reluctantly partner and work together and their mixed motivations and difference quickly become apparent, but in the end they work together for good. The sidelines and gizmos and bits are hilarious, and I laughed extremely hard. The jokes make you forget how stupid the plot is.

            This is a fun flick, and I give it a 2 just for the jokes. Yeah.
