Fists fly and the fighting gets down and dirty when undefeated middle-weight champion Kelly Robinson (Murphy) finally meets his match, Bureau of National Security super-agent Alex Scott (Wilson), in this hilarious adventure. It's hate at first sight when the two are unwittingly paired up to track down the Air Force's missing stealth bomber, the country's new top secret weapon. (Sony Pictures)

Blandly reassuring buddy movie is fairly painless and fun enough to watch, but it’s a shame that Wilson and Murphy’s comic personas are essentially neutered, meaning their enjoyable back-and-forth chemistry feels staid and muted at times. Bogs down when the focus shifts to the nefarious Bond-villain like machinations in the spy plot, which are dreary and uninteresting (and represent a complete waste of McDowell and a marginal one of Janssen). Could have been much better with some minor tuning!

Another bad spy-movie. How long big Hollywood production companies a able to produce this garbage? In some funny way filmmakers think that if two leads and so-called buddy's are from different race, the movie is funnier. Murphy and Wilson are good actors but they can't save this film.

not worth time but at least it's a comedy, might have been fun if watched

Decent comedy with some action scenes that keep the flow of the flick moving well. Filmed pretty good and the effects and stunts are satisfactory. Murphy was fairly good and Janssen looked cute as can be in this one. The plot of the film is just 'off' somehow to make the film better.

A competent spy takes in an assignment with a cocky boxer to get back a cloaked plane. Owen Wilson plays a generic spy. Eddie Murphy plays the same cocky guy he has played four years. If it wasn't for Owen Wilson this might have been a little more enjoyable. I can't stand him in anything. He is played as the likable guy, but he is anything but. Famke Janssen adds a bit of spy realism to this film. Eddie Murphy did a pretty good job in this film, but that is like saying Tom Cruise is good.

Wilson's incompetence is pretty entertaining, but that's it.
Jan 04, 2015	myfavchords	65 _16th
This movie has some funny moments but it would have been a lot better with a more polished script. Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson try their best and they both have some good moments in this film. However the poor script makes this film forgettable a few minutes after watching it.

What sins have I committed to be faced with this?
Jan 30, 2013	sammington	73 _24th
Enjoyable spoof that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Jan 29, 2013	Newsome92	70 _33rd
Perfect spoof film, but nothing more. Very funny, and Eddie Murphy is perfect in this role. Loses points for miscast Wilson and absurdity of some plot points. Gains points for Sexual Healing scene.

I just didn't get this movie or think it worked.
May 05, 2012	Moribunny	10 _4th
A useless throwback to eighties action comedies with a white guy and black guy overcoming adversity to fight baddies together.
Feb 12, 2012	Leonardis	39 _2nd
A real waste of time in my opinion. It could have been much more, but it's jobed down by a boring and uncomedic script, which sucks. Some of the actors in this deserve better.
Dec 02, 2011	SirStuckey	75 _67th
Apparently this is so disliked I'd have to include this in my guilty pleasures collection because I heartily enjoy this movie. Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson both play the parts they excel in, and even if Wilson seems a tad off as a spy it makes sense that he's not considered an overly talented one. I find it funny and entertaining which is all I can really ask from a movie.
May 06, 2011	CMonster	35 _15th
I blame the script, not Murphy or Wilson.

"File the film and Murphy's performance under Motion Sickness." - Ed Gonzalez
Sep 22, 2010	hellboy76	22 _6th
Murphy takes on another terrible script. Boring and unfunny.
Aug 18, 2010	myfajahas400	38 _7th
Not good, but better than I thought it'd be.
Jun 02, 2010	GordonBombay	40 _16th
One word, BAD!

Famke Janssen mmmmmmmmmmm.
Dec 30, 2009	vnguyen442	75 _56th
pretty good
Dec 21, 2009	newbiepsych	69 _31st
Brilliant if you're looking for brainless all action entertainment.
Jul 31, 2009	Okkervil	21 _16th
Not good in any way really.

Funny movie. Very entertaining.

Run away as fast as you can.

Eddie Murphy is the high point of this otherwise unspectacular film. The comedy mostly works, but the movie's need to inject pointless action into the film undoes it to a fair degree.
Jun 25, 2009	Piglet	50 _14th
You know how it's gonna go within the first 5 mins....!
May 26, 2009	Mentaculus	21 _5th
Oh, yeah, I saw this in theaters. Owen Wilson buddy comedy plus post-Bowfinger Eddie Murphy equals crapfest of the highest caliber (wait, Murphy had buddy comedy going on for Showtime too... w/e, still bad). There is nothing to like in this film, although people seem to have forgotten Wilson was in this. I guess that's a plus.
Apr 10, 2009	matt2015	70 _22nd
Not a bad combo with these two but weak storyline
Apr 02, 2009	nandorizzi	15 _9th
Unfortunately, another bad movie Murphy. The time did not do well for him, hard to find funny. Then, as comedy does not work well. As action, the plot is hard to believe.
Mar 24, 2009	Freder	2 _8th
The only good thing about any of these big-screen remakes of old tv shows is that it usually causes the copyright holder of the original series to release it on DVD. The two stars is for that.
Jan 26, 2009	eric-jan	55 _6th
Amusing
Dec 07, 2008	Vandelay1	17 _11th
bad movie
May 14, 2008	pyroclaustic	70 _54th
Somewhat funny, nothing special though.
Mar 31, 2008	DVicknabb	50 _21st
Bad, watchable.
Sep 24, 2007	moush	70 _47th
eddie murphy can make anything funny
Sep 15, 2007	Dustyd	60 _39th
Not terrible tv to film transition that mainly survives by way of appealing leads.
Sep 11, 2007	jonquill	60 _6th
Two charasmatic stars cannot beat the suck out of an awful script.
Aug 29, 2007	fart	41 _18th
Don't know why i've seen this twice, but it's not worth that.
Aug 14, 2007	AgentSnipe	32 _2nd
I was going to say its hit or miss, but it's mostly miss. It's pretty bad, but when things slow down and there's time for Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson to just sit down and interact, those moments are pretty funny.
Aug 14, 2007	ServantDagon	64 _15th
KELLY ROBINSON!
Aug 14, 2007	doctor7	53 _32nd
It's got a couple of laughs here and there so it's not all bad but for the most part it's forgettable and not very good.
Aug 14, 2007	rdwn29905	25 _19th
eddie murphy as a boxer, and dupree as a spy, lets just say that if you like the sound of that, there is no reason to not like this movie
Aug 14, 2007	SavageLucy42	75 _33rd
It's watchable and not totally annoying. I mean if there's nothing else on I do watch it. But I'm to this day still convfused about the ending.
Jul 28, 2007	lencage	80 _4th
One of the less memorable films to be based upon an old TV series. Some funny parts but mostly far-fetched. OK for a laugh or two but don't expect to be blown away by the acting.
Jul 24, 2007	Boobjuice	11 _8th
Awful. The antithesis of entertainment.
Jul 05, 2007	grimsooth	72 _75th
I have no idea why I liked this film. It's Eddy Murphy playing a crazy self obsessed idiot to Owen Wilson's strait-man. There's one point where it seems like the director thinks we care where the story goes, then he ditches that and just goes. Some how it just works.
Apr 20, 2007	Pickpocket	0 _4th
This is one of the worst things about flying. They play movies like this on planes. Eddie Murphy needs to kill himself.
Mar 21, 2007	MJVmovieMan	19 _2nd
Eddie Murphy does too much of his thing, Owen Wilson does absolutely nothing, and the plot gets so stupid. Everyone involved with the project seems mentally challenged.
Mar 08, 2007	Murravener	70 _24th
A very average action comedy, with a cast that made it feel as though it should have delivered more. Perhaps it's plot just wasn't written well enough to let it's characters shine.
Jan 27, 2007	BBBD	67 _32nd
I hate Owen Wilson, and I'm not a big Eddie Murphy fan either, so when my friends rented this, I expected to hate it. It's not THAT bad. The joke about going on a stakeout really struck me as very funny.
Jan 26, 2007	MunchForever	64 _25th
Typical summer comedy. Not too funny, but it's not terrible. The plot; however, is so bad that I can't give it anything higher.
