Day 239: "There's only one man for this operation: Agent WD-40. Steele. Dick Steele."

Not a whole lot to say here.  Spy Hard is the token satiric stab at the action/spy genre.  Nothing surprising, funny or interesting here.  The lone high point was the homage to the Maurice Binder opening credit sequences from the James Bond movies, as directed and sung by "Weird" Al Yankovic.  Best part of the movie.  This genre was so played-out at this point, I have no idea how they kept getting made.

Leslie Nielsen, Nicolette Sheridan, Any Griffith, Charles Durning, Barry Bostwick, Robert Guillaume, "Hulk" Hogan, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Mr. T, and Marcia Gay Harden all appeared in this disaster, and should have been banned from making anything else ever again.

This movie just plain sucked, and has restored my faith that imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery, it's just lazy storytelling and a lack of any original ideas by a group of people who should have quit a long time ago.  I've seen better film on the top of a bowl of week old chocolate pudding.  Utter s**t.  0.5/10 for the credit song and sequence alone.

See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
