I knew from the beginning I-SPY was going to be a mediocore effort but upon arriving at the theatres I had a choice between Chicago and this. And even though I have no doubts Chicago is a great movie, musicals are not my style.

However I-SPY managed to suprise me by actually providing quite a few full belly laughs. Most remembarable being Eddie Murphy ( Robert Culp ), the black chick magnet boxer giving Owen Wilson ( Alexander Scott ), the shy whining guy advice on how to score with a chick, who is played by Famke Janssen by the way, she's the girl from Don't Say a Word.

The whole story is the most stereotypical spy movie genre type story ever created. A stealth plane has been stolen from the U.S military and it is Owen Wilson's character's job to recover it. Owen is assisted by Eddie, a pro boxer as they both go on a mission to take it from the ultimate bad ass bad guy Gundar. Along the way the opposite personalities of the stars finally manage to become friends and actually accomplish the mission in the end.

Along the way there is actually a pretty cool car chase scene with some nice explsions and some cool gadgets. The movie is quite short ( 1hr 37min ) but I give it 3 1/2 stars out of five.

Rating: 3.5/5
