Comment:
Probably there aren't many new funny ideas for this sort of movies, Spy Hard is far less entertaining than other older similar movies such as Hot Shots or The Naked Gun. In fact I generally like to see these spoofs of other movies but in this case there isn't much to laugh and the movie is rather boring.


The plot is obviously rather uninteresting and stupid, the only interesting parts should be the funny scenes, the weird details, the silly parodies of other movies. Actually, very few parts are really entertaining, there are very few incisive ideas, most seems too plain and not amusing at all.

This doesn't mean that it is a completely bad movie, it is just a mildly comical and easy to forget movie.


Rating: 6.5  **
