Spies Like Us Ratings & Reviews

July 10, 2025
This movie was written for these guys, one of my favorite funny movies...
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
That Chase is godawful is no surprise -- he's been running on empty for years with variations on that tired "I'm Chevy Chase and you're not" riff.
TV Guide
Landis' direction is indulgent, to say the least, with big landscapes, big crashes, big hardware, and big gags filling the screen. What he forgets is character development, that all-important factor that must exist for comedy to work well.
Bullz-Eye.com
Jason Newman
The movie has since become a cult classic; one that those of a certain age and gender have committed to near memory and can spout lines and scenes on command like a new Army recruit.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
nothing more than a nostalgia trip for people my age who remember seeing it in theatres and, because we were twelve, thinking it was hilarious.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...may never reach comic heights but, nonetheless, maintains a good-natured charm.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Landis never bothers to account for the friendship that springs up spontaneously between these two antipathetic types, but then he never bothers to account for anything in this loose progression of recycled Abbott and Costello riffs.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Often funny film boasts no less then 10 film directors on screen in small roles. Stick around for the Paul McCartney penned title song.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Director John Landis likes to build elaborate cinematic toys, but this one is a comic clinker.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Too bad audiences didn't.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
There are seeds of something funny in the film's beginning and in its premise, but they are soon dissipated by so little sustained wit, and so much scenery.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Once again proof that life is rough after Saturday Night Live.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Typical lame 80s star vehicle
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Meddles uneasily between comedy and action-adventure, but Chevy Chase and Dan Ayrkoyd keep you watching right way through
