In this spoof of spy films, Alan, a U.N. translator, and his kindergarten teacher wife, Beverly, get roped into helping foil a presidential assassination plot by an unlikely G-man-who just so happens to look like Alan's old college buddy, Freddie. But before "Freddie" can finger the real hired-gun - a cold-hearted killer with a penchant for using kitchen tools to do the deed - he, Alan, and Beverly must first rule out some strange and unusual suspects!

This TV movie has a reasonably well-constructed plot, with an occasional really funny joke, and Harry Anderson doing his best to be charming. But it's just steeped in lazy racism, in the form of jokes that wouldn't be funny even if they were about something benign, with repetitive, boring stretches, boomer wife humor, and a particularly nasty transphobic twist at the climax. If you can stomach all that, though, it's an overlooked and interesting choice for a bad movie night.
