Spy (2015)

If you liked Heat, you'll love this one.

Also great for fans of Melissa McCarthy. I'm a fan myself. Her improv is top-tier.

This movie is definitely a step up from her usual stuff. It pokes fun at James Bond movies—is that a thing now? Kingsman did it too. Even the opening sequence is better than some actual Bond flicks.

Jason Statham is hilarious playing against type. He’s making so many jokes at his own expense. Some lines felt improvised, which was a surprise. He totally steals the show. Rose Byrne is great here, too.

The whole theater was cracking up. Super fun. Two hours flew by.

One downside is that Feig uses some of the best jokes in the trailer, so when they actually happen in the movie, they lose their punch.

I did like that they went big with the locations. Seeing the action in major European cities was a nice touch.

Highly recommend if you want a solid comedy with good parody and improv. Great if you enjoy Feig's work. Tons of easter eggs.

A top-tier action comedy that feels like a genuine breath of fresh air 👍

Here are my thoughts - link to review

Just finished watching this... It’s actually great. I absolutely love Melissa McCarthy and Miranda Lee.

Hey there! 👍

I caught it back on Monday. Definitely the most intense scene—Sylvester Stallone: my wife gets ejected from the plane and then immediately takes a hit from someone else. 🤣

Melissa is amazing, but the movie was 👎. Just boring.

I thought the movie was absolutely fantastic 👍 I had such a good laugh 😁 😬

It’s a solid comedy, especially if you’re a fan of Sylvester Stallone. Honestly, I was practically weeping at his ridiculous lines...😁 🍿

Oh, absolutely. He makes some truly absurd claims, acting as if he’s some kind of all-powerful deity.🤣

Honestly, that movie was such a massive, pleasant surprise! I haven't laughed that hard in ages—the characters are just so brilliantly written... they're actually perfect. 🙂
There were moments where the entire theater was basically erupting in laughter.

Such a great comedy 🎉

To be honest, Melissa McCarthy usually gets on my nerves, but she’s actually pretty tolerable here. That said, the absolute highlight of the movie has to be Sylvester Stallone 🤣
He was brilliant, and Rose Byrne was equally fantastic right after him 👍

Fantastic movie! It’s been a long time since I laughed this hard. :klap:

But Stallone. 🙏 I watched the woman I love get tossed from a plane and hit by another plane mid-air. I drove a car off a freeway on top of a train while it was on fire. Not the car, I was on fire. 😂

Miranda is brilliant; it's a shame they didn't give her more screen time.

One of the better comedies out there.

This movie is absolute gold. I was laughing my head off the whole time! It’s rare for a comedy to lean this hard into clichés and still pull it off, but every single over-the-top joke just lands perfectly. Even the classic sexist tropes felt hilarious in this context. Stalline absolutely crushed it. This is a must-watch at the theater with the crew.👍

Honestly, this movie was an absolute blast. I spent the entire two hours laughing so hard my stomach actually started aching. 😬

Miranda definitely delivered the funniest performance of the bunch, though to be fair, she’s naturally hilarious even when she isn't trying—I found myself typing away during her scenes just because I was chuckling so much. But man, I nearly lost it when Rain quipped, "Don't you have someone in your team other than this asthmatic big bird?". 🤣

Five movies worth watching right now.
One of the better comedies out there.

I was laughing until I cried! 😁
Aldo—that poor guy from Ford who somehow survived everything he went through—Finn, who’s constantly sneezing and handing out those adjustable necklaces, Anthony—who is just a total joke—or De Luca, who leaves his tracksuits everywhere during the explosions😁

All in all, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a solid R-rated comedy—definitely an 8/10 for me.

Lois, I couldn't agree more. 👍

That was such a great comedy we just saw at the theater, I’m still laughing about certain parts in my head...

Highly recommend it!

The movie wasn't anything special. I laughed at a few bits, but overall...👎
Jason Statham was alright, especially in that nightclub scene where he looked like a spittoon version of Bruce Willis. Was that on purpose? A little dig at Willis?

Absolute banger of a movie! 👍

I seriously hope they don't stop making these kinds of R-rated comedies because honestly, we need more of this energy in theaters.

Honestly, this movie is easily one of the better comedies we've seen in a minute.

And the best part?

"Where'd you get that suit?"

"I fucking made it, didn't I?"
