The movie will be of interest only to Nielsen's most devoted fans and to those who wonder why Nicollette Sheridan never made more movies, or more swimsuit calendars.June 04, 2013
As funny as Nielsen can be, like all comic actors he still needs the quick-thinking jokes and zingy one-liners to be genuinely funny.July 06, 2010
Never mind that the smutty, high-tech 007 capers already wink at the conventions of the bikini-clad, gizmo-strewn genre. If the martini is shaken, not stirred, why beat it to death with a swizzle stick?June 04, 2013
The blockbuster action thriller genre is ripe for sending up, but this lazy effort has to go down as a miss despite the presence of spoofmeister Leslie Nielsen.June 14, 2013
[A] haphazardly executed send-up.June 14, 2013
The jokes come in sporadic volleys rather than the steady machine-gun pace of The Naked Gun and Airplane!, and, with a few exceptions, they are less truly aimed.June 04, 2013
Spy Hard just comes off as a long commercial. And yes, that means most of the best moments you've seen in the movie's trailer.June 14, 2013
The result is 80 brief minutes of movie skits assembled in an order that sort of resembles a plot.June 04, 2013
Yet another Leslie Nielson movie parody, targeted this time at James Bond pictures and their many spinoffs.September 07, 2011
Spy Hard is a loose send-up of the Bond series and other overly expensive action flicks, but after Hot Shots! Part Deux and National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 who needs another action parody?June 04, 2013
Sporadically funny, but never more than a sting of crude gags.June 04, 2013
More of a cinematic joke book than a real movie, Spy Hard hits you with gags faster than Henny Youngman on speed. Even when individual bits misfire, the unrelenting barrage of silliness can break down your resistance.
