Critics Consensus

Insipid and mirthless, I-Spy bares little resemblance to the TV series that inspired it.

It's disposable dumb fun. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Behind The Lens

Bottom line - There are only two reasons to see this film, one-liners between Murphy and Wilson and a really cool spy plane. ... Oh yeah, and you can catch up on your sleep when Murphy and Wilson aren't sparring.

Good Morning America

There's nothing groundbreaking, nothing important, nothing socially conscious here. It's just two very funny guys, a plot that makes no sense at all - and a whole lot of laughs.

Rated: B-

This is the best movie ever made. Up there with films such as "Lord of The Rings" and "Shawshank Redemption". My Grandkid's Grandkids will tell their Grandkids about this movie. 5000 years from now, civilizations will look to this movie as the greatest work of the 21st century. Truly the Odyssey of our Generation.

Filme: Sou Espião Assistido: 21-11-23 Elenco: @eddie_murphy_official @theeddiemurphyshow @eddiemurphycomedy @owenwilsoneveryday @owenwilson_official @famkefatale @malcolm_mcdowell Modelo: #espionagem #spy #comedia #comedy #ação #action Duração: 1h 37m Ano: 2002 Minha opinião: Temos Murphy e Owen, oque pode dar errado? Talvez se fosse um outra estoria e roteiro, teria dado mais IBOPE. Não que seja ruim, mas poderia ser melhor. Aqui temos o agente secretos Alex que é o agente atrapalhado sem moral e enquanto tem o Carlos que é o Super Agente. Mas para essa missão precisam de agente Especial, que na verdade é um campeão de Box, Keely (Eddie) e Temos a a bela Rachel (Janssen) que é a espiã que apoia a missão, pois Alex não é confiável. Onde temos o vilão Gundars que sequestrou um super jato que fica invisível. E nas mãos erradas esta arma pode destruir. Filme tem ação, explosão, tiros e damos risada, mas faltou algo no filme. Temos os atores certos, mas faltou algo. Roteiro e enredo faltou algo Vale apena assistir? Sim. Nota: 6,5
