Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd team up for the Cold War comedy Spies Like Us. The story follows two incompetent government employees who are fast-tracked through spy training in order to act as decoys in a top secret mission. Co-written by Aykroyd, the comedy is quite good, with some clever satire about the military. However, the film kind of falls apart in the last act and at times the story is sacrificed for jokes. Spies Like Us has some problems, but it's very much a comedy of its time.

This is such an '80s movie. That description perfectly encapsulates both the good and the bad. Is it believable? Hell, no. None of the space or rocket stuff is realistic at all ([spoiler]being that close to a rocket launch would at least mess up everyone's hearing[/spoiler]), but whatever. This is the kind of comedy where the situation is what's funny, not the details. It's not movie of the year or anything (remember, _Back to the Future_ and _The Breakfast Club_ came out in 1985 too), and it won't (didn't) win any awards for filmmaking excellence. Frankly I would have liked to see the original version with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, instead of Aykroyd and Chevy Chase (I have a soft spot for the _Blues Brothers_). But this is solidly in the "good bad movie" category. 6.8/10

Landis, Chase and Aykroyd have done much better but this comedy is still watchable even if it isn't as good as you remember.

Definitely one of my favorite 80’s movies to go back on. The doctor scene always makes me laugh!
