Anything starring Owen Wilson, one of the brightest sparks in big-screen comedy, has to be worth a look. This actually isn't too bad - a good-natured buddy-movie-cum-spy-spoof with resemblances to blockbusters like XXX and Die Another Day. Wilson plays Alex, an agent with an inferiority complex; other agents get much cooler gadgets than the rubbish he's palmed off with, like clunky transmitter-tracking devices that fall off the car he's trying to attach them to. Eddie Murphy rolls out his familiar performance as Kelly, the mouthy, ego-crazed boxer who has to team up with Alex in a wacky odd-couple situation.

Producer-director Betty Thomas, formerly in charge of The Brady Bunch Movie and Dr Dolittle (and who once played Officer Lucy Bates on Hill Street Blues!), keeps the action moving and the energy levels up and the whole thing is reasonably watchable. It shows Wilson can play mainstream comedy - but it's not the kind of classy material he writes himself.
