Movie Review: I Spy Returns
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie and I was very excited to get it and Amazon is the greatest place to get new & used items of any kind. Thanks Preston in NMMovie Review: I Spy Return
Summary: 5 Stars
Not as good as the series but it should not be missed. Too bad they could not have had a bit part in Eddie Murphy and Wilson movie I Spy.Movie Review: A nice reunion, but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Reunion movies tend to have their faults. This one is no exception, although I would think it was better than average. Yes, they go with the silly 'the kids are taking over Dad's job, and Dad sneaks around to make sure they don't screw up' plot. However, this really shines in the same place the original series did -- the interaction and dialogue between Cosby and Culp. After all this time, they were still being those characters! Yes, while the scene where they are tied up naked might have been a little more fun if they had been a bit younger *cough*, it led to a wonderful scene. The young stars are pleasant enough, and do their best with what they're given.Movie Review: Nice to see them together again, but ...
Summary: 3 Stars
It was great to see Kelly and Scotty back together again after all these years. However, there was a vital difference in the way things were handled for this reunion movie compared to the original series: the movie was played for laughs while the original was played straight. Yes, they had lots of enjoyable banter as partners in the TV series, with plenty of joking around. But (unlike "Get Smart", their competition at the time), "I Spy" took the espionage missions seriously. Here the basic scenario is comic, with the retired agents bumbling about in an unofficial attempt to watch over their kids as they follow in their dads' footsteps.
The movie ends with Scott being asked (about the job): "Do you miss it?"
His response: "No -- just him."
As a bit of nostalgia this flick is wonderful. As a movie, it's nothing special, which was disappointing; the original series really *was* something special.
Movie Review: Old TV show reunion, unsuccessful as usual
Summary: 3 Stars
With the exception of the rather long series of Alien Nation reunion movies, few TV-movies showing old stars in their old roles have had much success, and this funnied-up resurrection of Kelly and Scotty follows the rule. Getting the progeny of the two heroes together as the new generation spies was as obvious as it was silly, and the writers couldn't resist the urge to make the show a parody of itself. There is no suspense, and it's impossible to take the characters at all seriously. On the plus side, it does feature an early appearance of the beautiful Salli Richardson, who has gone on to co-star in the Sci-Fi Channel's "Eureka!", as Scotty's daughter.
