When the Switchblade, the most sophisticated prototype stealth fighter created yet, is stolen from the U.S. government, one of the United States' top spies, Alex Scott (Owen Wilson), is called to action.

Critics Consensus

Insipid and mirthless, I-Spy bares little resemblance to the TV series that inspired it.

I Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nell Minow Common Sense Media TV classic remade as a forgettable buddy movie. Rated: 2/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review I Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Jun 1, 2003 Full Review I Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nev Pierce BBC.com It's disposable dumb fun. And there's nothing wrong with that. Rated: 3/5 Nov 26, 2002 Full Review I Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania It’s loud, obnoxious and frankly, unfunny for the most part. Rated: 2/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review I Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Bottom line - There are only two reasons to see this film, one-liners between Murphy and Wilson and a really cool spy plane. ... Oh yeah, and you can catch up on your sleep when Murphy and Wilson aren't sparring. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review I Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Joel Siegel Good Morning America There's nothing groundbreaking, nothing important, nothing socially conscious here. It's just two very funny guys, a plot that makes no sense at all - and a whole lot of laughs. Rated: B- Jan 4, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Nanci P This is a movie that my family watches over and over again. Very quotable! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review alan g Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson in the same film. Enough said. Avoid. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Will M This is the best movie ever made. Up there with films such as "Lord of The Rings" and "Shawshank Redemption". My Grandkid's Grandkids will tell their Grandkids about this movie. 5000 years from now, civilizations will look to this movie as the greatest work of the 21st century. Truly the Odyssey of our Generation. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Christopher J its a decent movie some laughs and pretty good action Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Sou EspiãoAssistido: 21-11-23Elenco: @eddie_murphy_official @theeddiemurphyshow @eddiemurphycomedy @owenwilsoneveryday @owenwilson_official @famkefatale @malcolm_mcdowell Modelo: #espionagem #spy #comedia #comedy #ação #actionDuração: 1h 37mAno: 2002Minha opinião: Temos Murphy e Owen, oque pode dar errado? Talvez se fosse um outra estoria e roteiro, teria dado mais IBOPE. Não que seja ruim, mas poderia ser melhor. Aqui temos o agente secretos Alex que é o agente atrapalhado sem moral e enquanto tem o Carlos que é o Super Agente. Mas para essa missão precisam de agente Especial, que na verdade é um campeão de Box, Keely (Eddie) e Temos a a bela Rachel (Janssen) que é a espiã que apoia a missão, pois Alex não é confiável. Onde temos o vilão Gundars que sequestrou um super jato que fica invisível. E nas mãos erradas esta arma pode destruir. Filme tem ação, explosão, tiros e damos risada, mas faltou algo no filme. Temos os atores certos, mas faltou algo. Roteiro e enredo faltou algoVale apena assistir? Sim.Nota: 6,5 Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Karl N I can't believe this gets such poor reviews.I love both these guys but I really enjoyed it.Very funny. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
