Susan Cooper is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst--and the unsung hero behind the Agency's most dangerous missions. But when her partner falls off the grid and another top agent is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer and prevent a global crisis.
This was funnier than I remember, kinda miss comedies, that probably has something to do with it. Stath is a good comedic actor, good change up for him.
My quick rating 7,3/10. A very impressive movie to say the least. Melissa McCarthy again is hilarious and does so by juggling the part of a Midwest everyday woman and immediately changes on the fly into raunchy one-liners so well. The ease she demonstrates on the screen is wonderful and so fresh in seeing what she calls "big women" movies as not being some stupid vehicle or drawback, just another performance. Along the way in good performances is Jason Statham completely making fun of his own character/real-life persona he is typecast into. It is obvious to tell he enjoyed poking fun at himself. That is only a single name while the rest of the cast top to bottom is extremely solid. Just the beginning of course since the story itself was a nice throwback to the spy genre movies with double-crosses and who is on whose side twists. I am not saying any of these elements were all that surprising but still added to the entertainment value. The action scenes are nicely edited together and make sure to be just unbelievable enough to also elicit a laugh from them. Overall along with sprawling scenes around the globe and production values being top-notch, it is hard to find flaws in such a surprisingly good flick so I'll leave it at, "Check this one out", you will not be sorry.
God, I had forgotten how freaking good this movie is. It’s one of those comedies that just keeps hitting, joke after joke, without feeling forced. The vibe is chaotic in the best way, and everyone seems to be having a blast.
Melissa McCarthy absolutely owns it—super sharp, confident, and just effortlessly funny. And Jason Statham? Honestly hilarious, completely committing to the bit and somehow making it even better.
Also, randomly, it was really nice seeing Sweden’s sweetheart Björn Gustafsson pop up. Such a fun little surprise.
Easy to throw on anytime you want something genuinely funny that still feels clever.
One of my favorite movies. I enjoy women's empowerment and movies that pass the Bechdel test, and this definitely passes. Any movies that push women to actually compete on the same level as men I'm down for, and movies that promote women having a personality I will always support. Good movie, funny, and has Jason Statham being the kind of action hero that Dwayne Johnson could never be.
Spy is complete crap but I had a lot of fun with it. Great cast who genuinely seemed to spark off eachother. I can wholeheartedly recommend Spy for easy watching. I could quite easily see this becoming a comfort film for some people.
Found a few laughs, which made it better than average, but not by much. This is Melissa McCarthy's best movie so far.
Unexpected story line that had me laughing over and over. Great movie, very entertaining. 5 stars.
