    Quite bad but it does have Mr T and Hulk Hogan in it and that?s what the star and a half is for!

    Fearless, sophisticated and debonair, Agent WD-40, a.k.a. Steele--Dick Steele, was The Agency's star spy until he left after his true love, a fellow agent, literally slipped through his fingers during a battle with the evil General Rancor.

    Leslie Nielson does a funny James Bond spoof, which is actually better than some of the James Bond movies! I liked when he was attempting to sneak into someone's apartment, and ends up trashing the entire place.

    Another spoof starring Leslie Nielsen sending up Die Hard, Jame Bond and plenty of other action films. Will raise a few laughs but not the best spoof around.

    very funny spoof flick
  • October 14, 2009
    This is a funny movie. Leslie Nielsen is very funny in this. Along the lines of Airplane or Naked Gun humor. But this time they spoof the James Bond films. I fond it entertaining and worth at least a one time watch.

    The super secret agent W-40
  • September 19, 2009
    This is my kind of comedy movie! I've seen this movie about 10 times and carry it on my laptop for travel. Simply said, it is a parity of the 007 movies. Plenty of stupid puns, sight-gags, and really bad jokes. I am a big fan of Leslie Nielsen and he play the Bond-like lead role.

    for having the Friedberg-Seltzer name attached to it, this movie really wasn't all that bad. while it certainly doesn't have the charm of ZAZ comedies, it's still plentiful with over-the-top spoofs, slapstick, and sight gags. unfortunately despite a few laughs, most of the humo...( read more)ur is pretty stale, overused, and uninspired (thank God there wasn't any product placement...). a few good cameos, though, and some of the jokes did actually work. for me, the highlight of this film will always be Weird Al's opening credits.

    A fairly funny movie that kept a smile on my face through out most of it. It looked like Andy Griffith was having a lot of fun with his role. Many other better spoofs out there, but this is still better than most made today.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Nielsen, with his expert deadpan and sense of comic timing, creates the illusion of humor -- for about 15 minutes. full review
