Boring af
junk-279-83216416 February 2020
Seen 15 minutes before saying enough is enough. Really boring stuff, really looks more like a school project than an actual movie.

Story is passable, directing is meh
j_p_m_o_9618 February 2020
Yeah you are trying to be artistic or something with the constant changes from what looks like 4:3 to 16:9 (or 21:9 but I don't even care at this point). It might be good once to give an accent to one scene but to do it every 2 shots just ruins the production and gives it the feel of a movie done by high school students

A poor, unfunny attempt at True Lies
danew133 March 2020
Low budget doesn't have to mean a bad script,as well. Spy Inter. tried to duplicate the spy wth an unknowing wife scenario... and it tried to make some good points about the exciting well rounded life vs. a boring suburban life...but it was just badly written and directed. But most of all, it wasn't funny.

Wow...this is SO bad!
sewbeauty16 February 2020
I made it just a few minutes in before I slapped myself and said "why in the hell am i watching this"? The acting is horrendous...the plot pathetic. How did this ever make it to film? Please do yourself a favor - don't waste your time by even starting this.

One word ..... BAD
nabilkhanafer-1004323 February 2020
Everything about this movie is bad, acting, effects, actors and actresses. 1 star is even too much for this movie.

The worst parody ever
aparnavigneshwaran16 February 2020
Both the plot and the characters were mind numbingly boring.

Disappointingly bad ... where is the 0/10 option?
stevojaxon18 February 2020
This is surprisingly bad. The story is stupid, there is bad acting and it is difficult to watch. I only watched it to see if there was anything redeeming about it. Anything entertaining about it must have been an accident. The constant switching between 4:3 and 16:9 perspective is something I have seen once before elsewhere ... it detracts from what is already a waste of time. The strange thing about this movie, is I suspect that everyone involved with its production probably already knew this movie would flop. They do not appear to have been embarrassed or ashamed enough to release it.

Tongue in cheek
greenheart23 February 2020
What you need to have in mind when watching this movie is that it's a spoof and is all very tongue in cheek. It should not be taken seriously. Sure, the acting isn't great, but it isn't supposed to be. The leads both absolutely looked the part, there were some amusing support roles and the style was nicely observed. As a movie, it never quite took off for me and I never detected any real chemistry between the leads. But it is amusing, the bowling scenes with the cardboard salesman and the dancing at the dinner party were highlights for me. The line "A>B>C, Always be cardboard" had me laughing out loud. No classic, but not a complete dud either.

Tedious and unexciting...
flickeringstate20 February 2020
Described as an " Action, Adventure, Comedy"... well, there was no real action and no adventure to speak of and as for the comedy; I guess one would have to be from the USA to appreciate it.

For me, this was a very tedious and quite an unexciting movie. I only watched it to the end to see if it got any better, but no, it stayed the same all the way through. If this was supposed to be a parody, they missed the mark. There are other reviews that trash the plot and acting; I agree with them.

I give this movie 1/10 Watch it if you want, but you'll be thinking, why did I bother...

Should be a cult classic
naomi-706257 January 2022
I have no idea why this film has such a low rating. It is quirky, funny, endearing and well acted.

Unlike so many films today, it doesn't take itself too seriously and the cast is clearly had great fun making it.

It should be a cult classic.

Crap film, can't believe I watched it to the end... ha ha!
contactmaz17 February 2020
This film is so bad. It's like a primary school's attempt at a film project.

Everything about it is so bad. I think that all the guys that were in the film were not as their acting was so effeminate (no disrespect to the gay community). Script was awful, the plot was pathetic, and everything else was just crap!

I made an account just to post this review.
judemascarenhas18 February 2020
This movie was a straight-up chore. The acting is horrible, the constant switching of ratios gives you a headache and both the characters and script are terrible.

To all the people comparing this to the works of Wes Anderson: put down the crack pipe

Poor spy comedy !
saptesh78614 July 2020
There was a lot of scope for comedy and fun for such spy fiction, but movie fails here to make good comedy show. Most of time it trails one place and getting dull. Main actor is handsome and good looking but his wife is so weird, what a bad combination. Climax is also very dull nothing happened. Overall movie is waste of time and not recommend too much.

Fake bad reviews from rejected actors
natcalgary22 February 2020
So many fake 1 star reviews from people who admit they didn't make it more than 5 minutes into the movie. Why would I trust the word of a quitter.

not a great movie but not bad.

4.9

What an absolute load of bollocks...
Daniel-K132 May 2020
As it starts you're presented with mind numbingly bad special effects that appear to be drawn onto the cut by a 12 year old post production and yet it's somehow amusing but just as you're being amused by it... it stops, and the weak storyline takes over. What little moments there are that are mildly ok are soon drowned out by the huge swathes of nonsense and then the boredom sets in. This is one of very few movies in this world that I have started watching and not finished, no matter how bad the others were, I still finished them... but I couldn't get through this. It was painful.

Creative, Hilarious, Unexpected
jordanadsmith19 January 2021
I love this movie. I think with a larger budget, this would be a hit! Some of the special effects are cheesy. But maybe that's the point. Doesn't take any from how funny it is.!

Surprisingly Almost Watchable
tabuno24 December 2021
This is one of the few, if only, terrible movies that somehow slightly redeems itself to be somewhat watchable. Even with its lousy special effects and questionable acting, the director somehow manages to make this spy parody never quite go over the top and falling into ludicrous and inane stupidity. While normally, it would be easy to rate this movie a 3 or 4, the modicum of the director to avoid ending up with an unwatchable, terrible movie is enough to give him a pass here. Unfortunately, the director should have tried taking more lessons from James Cameron in True Lies (1994) or Renny Harlin in The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) or the more recent renditions of secret identity from McG's This Means War (2012) or Paco Cabezas version in Mr. Right (2015).

Interesting premise, poorly executed
yankee39-661-21685528 September 2020
Campy spy flick. Horribly executed and poorly written. The premise has been done before, and better.

Dull, please don't waste your time
phulla19 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
At the time of writing this, this film has an average rating of 5.2 and I am so confused as to why the rating is so damn high.

The film starts off dull drab uninteresting and amateurish, and it never took off from this level. The story and outcome is obvious after Corey met Pam.

This feels like a junior version of Mr & Mrs Jones, a piece of piss rip off of Johnny English and a weak copy something like Bad Boys, except without any of the stunts action or humour.

I only gave it a two because of the effort somebody has gone into making the film and the actors who chose to be in it.
