Pretty good, but I didn't like Belushi, 19 January 2005
Author: vchimpanzee from North Carolina

I've never been a fan of Jim Belushi, though I did eventually develop a taste for the work of his late brother. I would have probably liked this movie better with someone else, say Bill Murray or even John if he had been alive, in the role of Nick.

Still, I enjoyed the goofy storyline. John Ritter was, while not the best I ever saw, still good as a nerdy spy who had no real qualifications--at first--except for resembling a real spy who was killed. I liked the physical comedy and the wacky story line, and of course the bad puns.

There have been better movies of this type, but this one was fine for my taste.
