Leave your thoughts about Spy Hard.
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarMore of a cinematic joke book than a real movie, Spy Hard hits you with gags faster than Henny Youngman on speed. Even when individual bits misfire, the unrelenting barrage of silliness can break down your resistance. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe picture that will test the durability of Leslie Nielsen's lowbrow franchise, Spy Hard sticks closely to the Naked Gun formula. Not only is the formula itself wearing thin, but the gags themselves feel recycled. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserThis movie may not be brilliant, but every now and then it's really funny. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenInstead of building sustained comic set pieces, it takes a machine-gun approach to humor. Without looking at where it's aiming, it opens fire and sprays comic bullets in all directions, trusting that a few will hit the bull's-eye. A few do, but many more don't. |
| Seattle TimesDoug ThomasSpy Hard just comes off as a long commercial. And yes, that means most of the best moments you've seen in the movie's trailer. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe movie will be of interest only to Nielsen's most devoted fans and to those who wonder why Nicollette Sheridan never made more movies, or more swimsuit calendars. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA classic example of why David Zucker/Jim Abrahams/Jerry Zucker-style comedies should be left to ZAZ themselves. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittMost of the laughs come near the beginning, before Rick Friedberg's klutzy directing becomes annoyingly monotonous. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanThe jokes come in sporadic volleys rather than the steady machine-gun pace of The Naked Gun and Airplane!, and, with a few exceptions, they are less truly aimed. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksYou know you're in trouble when the highlight of a movie comes during its opening credits. |
