Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Myers and Michael McCullers' script just doesn't have it in terms of fresh narrative developments or individual gags.

fresh:
If you don't care for one gag, there'll be another one in a minute, just like a London double decker.

rotten:
Amusing but ultimately disappointing.

fresh:
There is just enough joy in The Spy Who Shagged Me to make you wish there had been more of it.

Absent are the freshness and spontaneity that characterized the original.
