IMDB

A high school student is missing a foreign language credit and does not graduate.  He must make up the credit in summer school, the caveat being the French teacher is taking the French club to France.  He joins them, but is mistaken for a CIA agent with the same name.  Mind you, not the same looks, just the same name.  Who knows why the movie is titled so.
A silly, stupid and somewhat fun romp.  Richard Grieco is okay as the lead.  He is clearly about 25 in this role as an 18 year old, but that's fine.  It's pure early 90s goofiness.
This is nothing more than a James Bond spoof with a silly plot.  It has some moments and laughs--though they're pretty embarrassing.  I would not recommend watching this, but I made my wife watch it with me anyway.  I had seen this film a few times when I was a kid.  I found it enjoyable enough back then and still do.

6/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
