It's a thriller that is too much on the comedic side or a comedy with a touch of thriller. Let's call it a thrillmedy. A funny take on the spy angle. The first thing my wife said during the opening credits is that it looks like a Bond movie. But Peck and Loren are good, they have chemistry. They rest does not really stand out.
