Reviewer notes
RecommendedI've given up counting the number of times I've tried to make it all the way through this film, and now that I finally have I didn't hate it.

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewersVery boring comedy. Mostly just forgettable. Niven plays Bond, and the story tries to be funny, but the humor is too dry for me, or too lame.

Still, at 3/10, it is three times better than the serious 007 version of Casino Royale.
