A British spy investigating a Soviet drug ring on the island of Ibiza has disappeared. British intelligence sends a bumbling stooge (Donald Sutherland) to investigate, hoping to draw out enemy agents and grab them when they grab Sutherland. A good cast (Ned Beatty, Ruth Gordon, Robert Morley) is wasted in this dreary, unfunny, predictable comedy.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

A silly movie in the vein of Peter Sellers' Pink Panther series with an inept spy taking the leading role.
