    BRING ON THE SEQUEL!, 2008-03-08
An enjoyable film, I Spy, brings to the screen the story of an unlikely pair that has teamed up in order to recover a stolen American stealth aircraft prototype which is to be sold to the highest (criminal) bidder. A U.S. special agent and the World middleweight boxing champion will travel to Hungary to try and get back the aircraft and bring the criminals to justice.
br /Owen Wilson, Eddie Murphy, Famke Janssen (who is GORGEOUS!), Malcolm McDowell, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well.
br /The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all good.
br /I Spy is definitely a movie worth watching, and though quite silly at times, it will surely put you in a good mood and provide for an evening's entertainment.

    I SPY: Suffers in Comparison with the Original, 2008-02-18
For those who come to the recent film version of the hit 1960s I SPY, there is the inevitable tendency to compare them, with the film coming off as a pale imitation. In the television series, the focus was on the delicate and artful blending of comedy and action with the magic chemistry of the actors. Viewers simply accepted the reality of a pair of government spies, only one of whom was an athlete. The viewer of the movie has a much harder job since the blending of comedy and action here is badly off center with jokes and ad libs serving as distractors rather than as advancers of the plot. There is also the tendency to see Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson in the same light as Chris Rock and Jackie Chan who played much the same pair but with far more success. In I SPY, Eddie Murphy is the too cool inner city athlete who is co-opted to be a spy by Owen Wilson. In Murphy's case, his interpretation of Kelly Robinson marks him as an overage rapper wannabe whose only focus is on impressing the ladies. In Wilson's case, he comes off as way too young and geeky to be taken seriously as a head spook. Their overly frequent head butting is supposed to entertain but too often annoys. Malcom McDowell also disappoints as the bad guy plane dealer. He seems to have forgotten how good he was in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE or in TIME AFTER TIME. Famke Janssen generates most of the tension and interest as the leggy spy whose motives are suspect. What emerges from I SPY is the dulling realization that a great deal of misplaced talent was wasted in a film that could not decide where to draw that fine line between action, humor, and brainlessness.
