Espion malgré lui

Wholesome Disneyesque comedy about a female spy (who had thought she had retired) and her new husband (who had thought she was a travel agent). Sort of like TV's "Scarecrow and Mrs. King," and "Moonlighting." Kim Cattral (people either love her or can't stand her but) and Robert Hays ("Airplane") make a great couple and I had wished this had warranted sequels. If you are a fan of "Mannequin" try this film as well.

This is an enjoyable family film with the 'retired spy' plot line. Much like true lies in reverse the husband finds out he has married a 'retired' spy. Shockingly, to her and her husband, she is on another case when she intended to be honeymooning. Fun for the whole family, a timeless piece.

"Honeymoon Academy" has a plot that could have worked and should have been much better. But pedestrian writing and acting sink this one and make it no better than a second-rate time passer.

Sean (Robert Hayes) and Christ (Kim Cattrall) meet in a way that obviously seems to indicate she's either a criminal or spy. Oddly, instead of asking her about her actions and the large guy with VERY suspicious looking glasses, he marries Chris.

As for Chris, she is a spy and supposedly has retired. But when some master counterfeiter (Christopher Lee) manages to produce perfact copies of American dollars, she's forced to return to duty...even though it's her honeymoon. As for Sean, he knows SOMETHING is up...but what? After all, total strangers start coming up to him as they think he, too, is a spy.

How could this have missed so badly?! It had all the makings of a cute little comedy...but the film instead often is a bit dumb instead of being funny or thrilling. Overall, you could find a much better movie without even looking very hard or for very long.

Sean (Robert Hays) falls for Chris (Kim Cattrall) and they immediately get married. He thinks that she's a travel agent. In reality, she's a secret American agent doing dirty jobs for the State Department. They are off to a honeymoon in Spain. Her boss has a different idea.

This is an one-joke concept for the first half of the movie. He keeps missing her doing espionage things over and over again. This is also known as 'For Better or for Worse'. Honeymoon Academy is trying to sound like Police Academy. Only, this troubled production is nowhere near as successful. Original lead Paul Reiser had to be replaced after an injury and most of the movie had to be reshot in a rush. At least, we get to see a bit of Spain and taste a bit of the flavor. The second half has the couple doing some screwball capers. It's a reversed Romancing the Stone. It all feels like the lesser version of better movies.

The original title for the movie was for better or for worse I really don't know why they changed it to honeymoon academy the original was more fitting with the movie
