Two bureaucratic bumblers are chosen for a top-secret military assignment but their limitations are limitless and so are their laughs. Watch dan and chevy out maneuver missile-minded maniacs from the desert to the tundra.

Summary: Slapstick 80s comedy
Comment: Premise: Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase are actually caught cheating on the Foreign Service exam and "promoted" to be spies.
It is a funny movie, with some great sequences. It seems like the kind of movie that would be funnier the second or third time around - or maybe late at night. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the type of movie I would seek out again. Somewhat crude humor - not one for the family, but a fun movie overall.

Summary: Needs To Be In Widescreen
Comment: Great film, funny comedy with Donna Dixon eye candy.
Already own this version and have been waiting for a widescreen release for years.
Hopefully they'll be released on Bluray before too long. I can wait.

Summary: Cool Film
Comment: this was one of the first DVD's I ever owned. only wish it was in true 16x9 and in Hi-Def Blu-Ray. maybe in time it will be on Blu-Ray. WB has not done a Remastering (1998 Pan&Scan Only Verson as of 4/2008) of this great funny film that stars the Beautiful Donna Dixon who IMHO would look GREAT IN Hi-Def!! :)

Summary: Classic Cold War Comedy
Comment: Whether you grew up during the Cold War or afterwards, you'll love this comedic reminiscence of the Reagan era. In my opinion, this is Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd at their finest. Basically they're low level government employees who get caught cheating on departmental exams. The CIA needs two decoys for an important spy operation, so they are chosen, and eventually end up in Pakistan and the Soviet Union.
I own close to 300 movies and this movie is near the top of my favorite all time movies. Enjoy!

Summary: Intelligence insulting
Comment: I was extremely disappointed with this film. It's a terrible shame because I love Dan Akroyd! It just wasn't funny at all. At some points I was bored to the point of wanting to go to sleep. Chase and Akroyd's characters never reached the potential they seemed to have at the beginning of the film, and the attempts at humor were ridiculous (in a bad way). I'm not sure how this has 4 stars here on amazon. I generally love comedies and am rarely ever disappointed with a movie, but that's exactly what happened with this one. Surely pass this one up.
