Advantages: The witty banter of two funny guys

Disadvantages: Thin plot and supporting cast

Alex Scott (Owen Wilson) the not-so-super spy must hunt down a stealth plane that has been stolen. His ally is a boxer Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy) who is uniquely placed to help him.

Unfortunately, at first these two do not get along and hijinks ensue, until they learn to work together and further hijinks ensue. Kelly is obnoxious and self obsessed while Alex is sometimes insecure, lovestruck and impatient.

This is a great comedy that puts together two very loud actors, and as the characters often step on each other's toes, this is a rather clever move which adds to the hilarity with probably not so much effort on Wilson's And Murphy's part.

Without these two leads though, the movie would not be as good. The other cast members are not so memorable in their roles and have no equalling spark.

Despite being a comedy this movie has a remarkably good chase scene and enough bangs to jolt you into paying attention to the plot, which to be honest, isn't all that riveting.

Summary: Fast pace wittiness

The TV series that this was based on was far better, Bill Cosby was one of the two main characters.
