Leave your thoughts about I Spy.
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekIf nothing else, I Spy does succeed at counter-intelligence. |
| Nitrate OnlineCynthia FuchsThe ensuing action is uninspired: unspeedy car chasing, unthrilling plane flying, some minor fisticuffs, not especially well choreographed. |
| Good Morning AmericaJoel SiegelThere's nothing groundbreaking, nothing important, nothing socially conscious here. It's just two very funny guys, a plot that makes no sense at all - and a whole lot of laughs. |

| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA harmless, though instantly forgettable and utterly brainless, diversion...a popcorn movie that isn't terribly good, but is better than it might have been. |
