Comedies like "Dr. Strangelove" and "Spies Like Us" make one long for the Cold War, when they could actually make such comedies. In the latter, government employees Emmett Fitzhume (Chevy Chase) and Austin Milbarge (Dan Aykroyd) are recruited for something. They think that they're going to be spies, but they're really decoys for some saber-rattling between the US and USSR. They finally have to take action when the threat of a nuclear holocaust becomes real. Chevy Chase does his usual goofy things, and Dan Aykroyd is his usual uptight-but-silly self. There's some interesting guest appearances: Bob Hope chasing his golf ball, and Greg from "Animal House" as a very shady character. A great comedy.
score 8/10
