/ Spy
Owen Wilson, Eddie Murphy
Columbia Pictures
Owen Wilson co-wrote and cast himself in the
comedies Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and / he
Royal Tenenhaums. Eddie Murphy starred in
Beverly Hills Cop I. //. Ill and many other suc
cessful comedies. Individually, Wilson and
Murphy created comedic masterpieces, but
together, their comedic charm is absent.
Wilson and Murphy star as a special agent
and a professional boxer, respectively, who work
together to stop a bad guy from selling a stolen
plane. The movie was released on Nov. I as the
big screen version of the 1960s TV series / Spy,
which paired Robert Culp and Bill Cosby. The
movie and the show are similar in its racially
mixed cast and its plot summary, but that must
have distracted the four writers of the movie
because they forgot the comedy.
/ Spy has occassional jokes which should,
it laughs from the audience, but the previa
show the funniest parts of the movie-which,
possibly why the movie made $14 million us
firsi weekend at the box office. Pen | .
Rollins Stone Madel ine sums in up besire
writes, "I Spy something lazy, slow.shallo
pid. amateurish, unfunny, unsuspensefuUin
formed unspcukabls dull and witles
directed and acted.”

Brown's daughters
sue for royalties
ATLANTA (AP) - James
Brown's daughters said they
agonized about suing their
father over songs for which they
claim they deserve royalties.
"We knew the consequences
of bringing all this out — all
the publicity this would get,"
Yamma Brown Lumar told The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
for Wednesday's editions, in
her first public statement
about the lawsuit.
"We love our father. ... It's
been extremely difficult. This is
family. This is our father. It's
taken a lot of soul-searching
and digging deep."
