S*P*Y*S is by no means a great movie, but it does have its moments. Simply put, this movie is a cross between "I Spy" (the TV show) and the Three Stooges. If you like manic, cheerily violent slapstick-y humor like the Stooges (as I do), or that of the Avalon/Funicello beach party movies, you might well like this. All others, beware! (Hey, it's funnier than that "Get Smart" movie w/ Steve Carell!)

Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould, the stars of M*A*S*H, were featured again in a very funny spoof about the cold war espionage days. This one is well worth viewing for sheer laughs.

I'd love to say something good about this film but in truth I cant. Its so badly conceived from beginning to end that its simply embarrassing to watch all the way through. The films main failing is its script which is weak and unfunny. The two main stars are wasted on such an utterly pointless project. The only reason I watched it at all was that I remember watching this on TV when I was five or six years old and loving it. I should have left it at that. Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland undoubtedly have good chemistry but if you want to see them together watch MASH, not this. Avoid.

the only thing this "spoof" has going for it is the reteaming of mr.gould and mr. sutherland and their charm isn't enough to carry this silly try at a cold war spoof. the way the title is spelled out you just know they were hopeing that it would get people to watch, that should tell you what they thought of it. one star for each actor,because both are better than this.

IF YOU LIKE MURDER AND MAYHEM AND DONALD SUTHERLAND.THEN,I SUGEST THIS MOVIE. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IT IS A COMIC FARCE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET{IF YOU WATCH IT OVER AND OVER}.
