Spies Like Us (1985)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 7/04, 4/08

4/08: Spies Like Us looks like an obvious choice for a funny picture because the lead actors are Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase.

But sadly, that's not the case. For starters, the plot is weak. Nobody is going to believe the crap about two fake American agents who travel from Pakistan to Russia on foot with no food or water and are able to find nuclear warheads in the middle of nowhere before punching in the correct code to set them off. These two idiots should've questioned how they got there so easily.

I admit the funniest part is when Chevy Chase had an eye patch on and his arm in a sling, cheating on the test while trying to elicit Dan Aykroyd's help. After that, it's been downhill. At least, nothing beats the sight of Donna Dixon coming out of the tent. She's currently Dan Aykroyd's wife.

All in all, Spies Like Us is disappointing given the two top comedy actors.
