Good thread, Batman...

I Spy - the 2002 Eddie Murphy/Owen Wilson remake.

I put off watching this for as long as possible, but one of my wife's friends raved to her about it, so we finally threw it in. This "film" without a doubt joins Head of State, and Half Past Dead to complete the '02/'03 Holy Trinity of Crap.

Now, I have watched literally hundreds, if not thousands of movies in my life - and have never walked out of or away from any of them. I Spy damned near broke my streak. Eddie Murphy is unbearable as champion boxer Kelly Robinson, and Owen Wilson looked like he was just a distant shell putting in the time simply to collect a cheque. The story is horrible (will someone PLEASE help the brilliant Malcolm McDowell choose his roles), the script is embarassing, and the set designer and cinematographer should be barred from any film set from this point forward.

1/2 / **** - and the only reason I generously give it a half star is because Famke looked great. Shallow I know, but I was stretching for something nice to say!
