Move over Vacation, Chevy's best is this country treking laughfest!


I don't often find much new to discover in the classic filmography of what I like to dub "The Chuckleknuckers" (the 70s and 80s group of Murray, Chase, Aykroyd, Reitman, Landis, Martin, Belushi, Candy etc.) but man oh man is Spies Like Us what I'd call a hidden gem!

The film is quickly unassuming. A buddy, travelin' along on a wacky adventure comedy. But put on the '09 Toyota recalled breaks, case holy Meowth does it get funny fast! Sure we've seen Dan and Chevy together before (i think) but this film takes their brand of straight guy-wild card to a new level. The film moves along at a nice pace, and keeps the funnys comin. Very underrated, and I highly recommend it. I give it 2 joints out of 1.

(warning, bring tissues, cause these laughs will have you hacking up that funny phlegm in copious amounts)
