The quick-thinking espionage professionals are eager to enjoy their vacation and their new daughter, attempting to lead a normal life as a family. When the notorious head of the Czechoslovakian Secret Police, Paulina Novacek (Fiona Shaw), is suspected of being in the New Orleans area, the CIA convinces the suave couple to go undercover on the top-secret hunt. Their investigation turns New Orleans upside down as the Blues are chased by the suspicious local police, a vengeful mugger (Stanley Tucci), and the villainous Novacek's henchmen. The masterful couple prove that they are ruthless spies, as well as doting parents, and are soon up against Novacek herself, who has stolen lethal military explosives. These stroller-toting spies mean business and soon find themselves up against their archrival in a battle of wits that director Herb Ross handles with a fun touch. [More]

Some of this is funny, but too much tends to fall flat.

This empty-headed comedy revels in its own admitted idiocy.

The script by Ian Abrams brims with overwritten cleverness.

It is the free and easy manner projected by Quaid and Turner that provides this film with its heart

The movie has enough style to make you overlook reason and the occasionally erratic continuity.
