Yet another bad movie in a lengthy string of losers for all three of the principals involved here: director John Landis and stars Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase. Chase and Aykroyd play a pair of bumbling would-be CIA agents who are spotted cheating on the entrance exam. So the CIA decides to use them as bait in a mission to flummox the Russians. Lots of pointless slapstick and mugging, but Landis hasn't made a genuinely funny film since Trading Places. Aykroyd and Chase seem smug and self-satisfied (don't they always?), as though they can rest forever on laurels earned during the 1975 season of Saturday Night Live. Look for a gaggle of film directors (Terry Gilliam, Joel Coen, Costa-Gavras) in cameo roles: that's the closest this film comes to cleverness. --Marshall Fine

This film is great. Chevy Chase and Danny Aykroyd are two fantastic comedic actors and the film follows the traditions of the old Bing Crosby and Bob Hope duo pics. Amazon.com reviewer Marshall Fine is a complete tool. Okay, it's no Animal house- but it's still very funny and entertaining. Don't listen to his fodder, go get the movie yourself!

1.0 out of 5 stars Pan & Scan killed the DVD, August 25, 2005

By	Wally Waffles (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a GREAT Chevy Chase/Dan Aykroyd classic, but because it's only availible in PAN & SCAM (yes, I said SCAM) I'd give this DVD a score of ZERO if that were an option.

WE DEMAND THE ORIGINAL WIDESCREEN PRESENTATION!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Classic, October 16, 2002

By	Keith E Schaeffer (FPO, AP United States) - See all my reviews

If you are a comedy movie person, this better be in your collection. Chevy Chase and dan Akroyd are a pair that will that no older person will never forget. Both men play "spies" or what they think they are, but actually they are both decoys for another group of spies. This movie has it all, laughs, women, men(for the ladies) and even bob hope!
