movie review - I Spy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.05.19

Forget what it's about. What the hell was Eddie Murphy thinking? Getting into a movie with Owen Wilson!

While occasionally funny, this duo doesn't really work. And I don't know why, because both are charismatic and both can be funny. There's just no chemistry between them, or between Wilson and Janssen (and that's just inexcusable; Famke Janssen!).

Not recommended.

Marriage is like a game of chess, except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
