If you're a fan of Chevy Chase or Dan Aykroyd, or both, it's easy to recommend Spies Like Us. Fans of these performers will get a kick out of seeing them do their things and, at times, their interplay is simply hilarious. But the film's uneven tone, ranging from semi-serious to complete slapstick, is damaging and makes for a rather silly conclusion.
It's basically a series of set pieces that tie the plot together and the funny ones all come in the film's first half; Chase trying to cheat on an exam, the pair disguised as doctors and prepping for surgery are two hilarious scenes. But in the end the film goes for an outrageous and silly resolution that undermines all that preceded it (sort of like 1981's Stripes).
Fans of these actors will find plenty to enjoy though, but I'm not so sure about the others.
