User Review
A gag a second
Rating: 5/10
From the same mold as the "Naked Gun" series, "Spy Hard" stars everyone's
favorite bumbling hero Leslie Nielson as a not-so-secret agent, WD-40, who
stumbles his way through another slampooning chaotic comic story. Sniping
at everything from "Speed" to "Home Alone" and built around the James Bond
flicks, "Spy Hard" features lots of babes and bunches of bit part celebs
with nonstop gags and off-the-wall humor. Only for those who are into wacky
for the sake of wacky. (C+)
