Movie Reviews of Spies Like Us (Snap Case)
Movie Review: A fun enjoyable comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
If you didn't like the William Freidkin Chevy Chase espionage flick Deal of The Century (1983) You well enjoy this seemingly interesting, funny and slapstick comedy. It has hilaroius moments all throughout the movie but at the same time John Landis makes it real by exploring the Espionage and secret world of the government. Set in the time when the Soviets were in conflict with the U.S. Chase and Aykroyd go from Their oddball jobs to cheating on a test, to Secret operative training, and to Pakistan to pose as doctors (when they encounter The Afhgan freedom fighters they start to feel comfortable) until they find out for real that they are not doctors they escape to India and then ride camels to the USSR. It is a laughable comedy both stars are great this is probably their best collaberation.Directed by John Landis
Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Donna Dixon, Frank Oz and Bob Hope
Movie Review: San Jose memories
Summary: 4 Stars
When I was in junior high, my friends and I would ride the bus to the Go-Skate skateboard shop, harass the workers into giving us free stickers, and then go to Thrifty's with our loose change for some $0.35 ice cream. We'd top off the afternoon with a second-run movie at the Almaden Twin.Spies Like Us was one of those movies. And with Chevy Chase's fart scene (maybe the best ever on film), damn, a kid that age would bust the biggest gut laughing! The entire foreign service exam scene, the training camp, the doctor doctors, the missles...dude, this movie has it all.
Go-skate has moved, ice cream is about a dollar now, and they carved up the Twin into 6 living rooms that hardly qualify as theaters, but Spies Like Us is still HELLA funny!
Movie Review: A HOPE/CROSBY STYLE "ROAD" PICTURE
Summary: 4 Stars
Spies like us is a tip of the hat to the great Bob Hope Bing Crosby "road pictures" of the 1940's.Chase and Dan Ackroyd play two low-level CIA agents who are sent on a rather bogus mission in Afghanistan to basically be expendable decoys.
The boys are dropped inside a giant crate from a plane and when opened, they are lounging about eating Doritos! So well do they play their Hope Crosby roles that there is a tribute of sorts to the old patty-cake game when they encounter a couple of Russian agents.
later, in the tent of a shiek they have to pretend to be doctors and perfrom surgery. Bobe Hope himself makes a cameo appearance.
Of course, the boys eventually are the heroes of the movie and get the girls. Funny movie
Movie Review: who cant love this movie? its chevy and aykroyd!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is great. Its an american comedy classic. The special effects arnt great, the plot isnt that of a Hitchcock movie, and its full of corney humor that only Chevy and Aykroyd can produce in a way that makes it funny. Great to watch again and again. The only reason why I give this 4 stars instead of five is that I feel Warner Brothers did the movie an unjustice by rushing with the DVD. They did not bother to put any menues, or special features onto the dvd. Its just the movie and thats it. Its not even in wide-screen. Also, the picture and sound quality arnt that great either. Too bad they could have done ALOT more with it. Dispite all of that though, its still great to own just for the movie alone. My advice; buy it.Movie Review: The first step in the operation is to shave the patient
Summary: 4 Stars
Emmett Fitz-Hume (Dan Aykroyd) and (Chevy Chase) Austin Millbarge are looking for a new life and find it in the CIA. They are so good they are rushed through training. They are dropped off in the desert to perform a mission. Natural adapters they find their skills get them into and out of all situations Hope/Crosby style. Little do they know they are decoys? Speaking of Bob Hope, be sure to notice the key part he plays in this movie.
Will they complete their mission?
Or will they figure out who the decoys are?
Where is the real team?
Is there something more sinister afoot?
Can you sing "Soul Finger"?
