    Rubbish. It was about 15 years too late as these kinds of silly comedies belong in the 80?s. The invisible plane also really annoyed me!

Even the usually intense Malcolm McDowell doesn't have much spark: His main role is to press the remote control button that makes the stealth plane disappear and reappear, perhaps a foreshadowing of I... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This is a remake by the numbers, linking a halfwit plot to a series of standup routines in which Wilson and Murphy show how funny they could have been in a more ambitious movie. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

I Spy something lazy, slow, shallow, stupid, amateurish, unfunny, unsuspenseful, uninformed, unspeakably dull and witlessly written, directed and acted. full review

    Another bad concept based on the hit 1960's TV show of the same title. Its Eddie Murphy(in the Bill Cosby role)as Alexander Scott,and Owen Wilson(in the Robert Culp role)as Kelly Robinson. And you thought this was horrible,this was the film that had Sheldon Leonard rolling in his grave. Directed with sheer patheticness by Betty Thomas,the director responsible for bringing down a lot of lame movies including the big screen version of
    "The Brady Bunch".
