First the good news: Leslie Nielsen stars as Dick Steele, secret agent, in an Airplane! -style spy spoof.
Now the bad news: they forgot to put jokes into the script, which soon tires of the espionage idea and sends up every other movie it fancies a bite at: Speed (with a blind Ray Charles driving the bus), Pulp Fiction, Sister Act, Home Alone and even Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Nielsen's a very funny man who deserves better - and so do we!
One or two giggles, but the only big laugh comes from Weird Al Yankovic's Bond-song spoof at the start.
