Spies Like Us
This story seems quite different as it tells of more comedy adventures. The story begins when two low-level government officials, Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Milberg, were chosen on a highly classified CIA mission but are not fully qualified for the mission. After a long period of training, they have the ability to participate in the mission, where parachuting to Pakistan is awaited, where all kinds of adventure change their lives.

Once again proof that life is rough after Saturday Night Live.

The movie has since become a cult classic; one that those of a certain age and gender have committed to near memory and can spout lines and scenes on command like a new Army recruit.

Director John Landis likes to build elaborate cinematic toys, but this one is a comic clinker.

The script is so patchy that most of the genuine laughs are squeezed into the first half; the rest is a rather tacky and confused extended joke about the nuclear arms race.

[An] irritating comedy in which Aykroyd and Chase play officials who are sent on a secret mission as decoys whilst the real spies do their work. Their inadequacy is matched by a jokey script of dubious morals and taste.

Often funny film boasts no less then 10 film directors on screen in small roles. Stick around for the Paul McCartney penned title song.

There are seeds of something funny in the film's beginning and in its premise, but they are soon dissipated by so little sustained wit, and so much scenery.

Landis never bothers to account for the friendship that springs up spontaneously between these two antipathetic types, but then he never bothers to account for anything in this loose progression of recycled Abbott and Costello riffs.

Landis' direction is indulgent, to say the least, with big landscapes, big crashes, big hardware, and big gags filling the screen. What he forgets is character development, that all-important factor that must exist for comedy to work well.
