Spies Like Us-7.0/10

PG-if it was made now it'd be '13, due to suggestive scenes

This movie was made in 1985. So as anyone could probably guess, connecting the title and the year, this movie is Cold War set. And it's a comedy. Saturday Night Live alumni Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd star in this movie about two flunkies who are sent on a nuke mission, as decoys, whilst the real spies do there work. Or do they? This movie includes many cameos including Bob Hope and Frank Oz. This movie is pretty funny, and the classic team up of a smart but lazy guy (Akroyd) and just plain stupid guy (Chase). Now if neither of those names ring a bell, they both are in Ghostbusters. Now if you've never seen Ghostbusters... My goodness! You live under some kind of a rock! Family guy fans should immediately see a connection with the episode "Spies Reminscent of Us" just released this year, which is a direct spoof of this movie and Chase and Akroyd even do the voices of there character. A funny episode with funny scenes of who's-funnier. Fans of Ghostbusters should most definitely like this as this is the same kind of humor.
