What critics compared Spies Like Us to
Goofy moments of slapstick are also inserted throughout, perhaps in a respectful nod to Landis Senior’s espionage spoof Spies Like Us .
Automated parking garage fight!), including a quote-unquote thrilling climax that was cribbed almost entirely from Spies Like Us, provide ample distraction.
Spy, though it uses genre conventions better than many of its dramatic counterparts, is a joke factory – closer in tone to guff like Horrible Bosses than Spies Like Us.
