What happens

I Spy (commonly styled I-SPY) is a 2002 American buddy spy comedy film directed by Betty Thomas, and starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. The film is based on the television series of the same name that aired in the 1960s and starred Robert Culp and Bill Cosby.

The film was released by Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States on November 1, 2002. It received negative reviews from critics and audiences, and was a box-office flop, only grossing $60.3 million against its $70 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
