“I found Salt and Pepper to be a hysterically funny, well paced, beautifully sixties spy spoof. Iu0026#39;m gonna start doing reviews in a different style than I usually do, where Iu0026#39;m just gonna list the things I like and things I disliked. I know Iu0026#39;m not the only one on here that does this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThings I liked:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-The two leads were hilarious and had great chemistry and interesting characters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-Very cool jazz score.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-Very witty dialogue and some great lines. There was also some great slapstick gags mixed in there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-Amusing action sequences. They may have not been the most exciting action scenes in the history of cinema, but they were certainly entertaining and well staged.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-The police inspector character was pretty hilarious.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-The sets and costumes were very awesomely sixties.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThings I disliked:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-Some people may find this movie to be sexist, since the two leads sometimes treat women as sex objects. There was also a couple of mildly racist jokes thrown in. But, the fact that the movie stars an interracial friendship should make up for all that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, Iu0026#39;d recommend this movie to anybody that enjoys action-comedies, especially ones that came from the sixties.”
