September 24, 2009Quite bad but it does have Mr T and Hulk Hogan in it and that?s what the star and a half is for!

July 15, 2007Leslie Nielson does a funny James Bond spoof, which is actually better than some of the James Bond movies! I liked when he was attempting to sneak into someone's apartment, and ends up trashing the entire place.

June 19, 2007Another spoof starring Leslie Nielsen sending up Die Hard, Jame Bond and plenty of other action films. Will raise a few laughs but not the best spoof around.

January 25, 2011If you dislike Leslie Nielsen movies you would certainly dislike this one as well. This movie is clearly made for all the Leslie Nielsen fans and I loved it. This movie was hilarious.

February 27, 2010Leslie Nielsen plays Dick Steele, Codename: Agent WD-40, who has to prevent arch enemy General Rancor (played by Andy Griffith) from destroying the world.

February 25, 2012Don't even consider wasting your time on this movie. I love Leslie Nielsen from Police Squad, but this movie never even made me consider laughing once. Possibly the worst movie Nielsen has ever been in. Add Andy Griffith as a bad guy and the fate is sealed. 'Disappointed' wou... read more

Nielsen, with his expert deadpan and sense of comic timing, creates the illusion of humor -- for about 15 minutes. Full Review

David Kronke, Los Angeles Times
This movie unfortunately wastes a perfectly promising idea -- satirizing James Bond films along with any other pop-culture celluloid phenomenon that crosses the filmmakers' minds. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
A dreadfully unfunny comedy that takes Naked Gun-like sketches and rehashes them without a whit of style or energy. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times
When Spy Hard abruptly ends after only 81 minutes, you sense that it has used up every last round of available ammunition. It was simply exhausted and couldn't move another inch. Full Review

You won't laugh hard at Spy Hard. And that's not because the jokes aren't funny. Most of them aren't even jokes.

Nielsen's schtick is getting pretty threadbare by now -- his movies used to wring laughs from assaults on his silver-haired dignity, but after years of screen buffoonery, he has no dignity left to ass... Full Review

Like Hot Shots! there's the same mistaken belief that simply tagging other films will be intrinsically funny... Full Review

This one's a real disappointment -- it only registered a few snickers from me at best. Full Review

A classic example of why David Zucker/Jim Abrahams/Jerry Zucker-style comedies should be left to ZAZ themselves. Full Review
