I Spy

Eddie Murphy.
Owen Wilson.
Two seriously funny guys who have both done some different films get together and make a fun action-comedy.
I’ll warn you that I did not see the whole movie, we skipped (I LOVE DVD’s) to the next scene at one point where Owen and his female counterpart Famke (can’t think of the gals last name) started to behave in ways that looked like they should only happen in a marriage (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Say no more).

Over all the plot was light hearted and fun with Eddie Murphy playing a boxer with an attitude (can you say Tyson?) and Wilson is a secret agent with envy of a smooth agent that gets all of the cool toys.
Murphy is called in by G.W. (The President) to help Owen to get into a special party where they’ll do some recon.
Things go crazy there’s a leafy bug scene, crazy running from ‘bad guys’ and the whole works.
Its fun. If you like to laugh and just have a good time with your logical self turned off, this is a great catch.

Due to the language I would say that there may be some folks who get offended and you’ll want to watch out for that.
I’m not keen on profanity in movies and this one pushed the limit a couple of times.
There is one point in the movie (right before I skipped ahead) where Eddie Murphy is feeding Wilson song lyrics and Wilson dead-pans them.
We laughed hard, it was a hoot!

If you’ve got the money, and you have a rental store near you and you’ve got some time, you may want to rent this.
It REALLY outdoes Ballistic.
