WEEK 31: A FILM FROM 1985
 
Review: Comedy legends Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd play CIA office employees who, to their delight, are assigned a real spy mission: they have to track down a secret missile installation in Russia. In reality the duo is just a distraction for the real spies.

As is usually the cast in production featuring (former) stars of the sketch show “Saturday Night Live”, this good natured comedy offers a mix of inspired and particularly silly jokes. It’s slapstick comedy, some jokes that would not be acceptable nowadays. It was still funny, but director John Landis and both Chase and Ayrkroyd have made better films.

Rating: 3/ 5
