Spy 2015

One of the best comedy movies I've seen in a long time. Jason Statham was brilliant and Melissa was so good, she was the queen of the movie. Great cast, really.
So funny, I want to see it again already.

Hilarious! And Jason Statham is ridiculously funny too!

Everything about this movie looked terrible to me before seeing it. I assumed it was just a lame, dumb comedy that would have nothing unique or interesting at all.

I was very wrong about this assumption. Turns out this is a really good comedy using genre staples very well. Probably the biggest upside is that they created a strong lead female character. The jokes aren't really about how she's a terrible choice for an agent. Instead, it is often showing her as very good at her job, just in unconventional ways. That is a big plus, the fact that they don't take a sexist route was the biggest surprise for me.

I really like Melissa McCarthy and I like movies about spies so odds were good that I was going to like this, and I did. I laughed quite a bit and thought that Rose Byrne nearly stole the show. Jason Statham was an inside joke that got tired quickly, though.

"Spy" becomes a less funny when it turns up the lewdness and swearing later in its run time. I don't have a big problem with that sort of thing overall, it's just that sex, dick, and poop jokes can run their course pretty quickly.

very funny movie. It keeps fun factor right from beginning upto the very end. Funny character of Jason is hilarious too. Plot is also strong and the story keeps you stick to screen all the time.

It lasted 35 minutes before turning this ridiculous movie off. Humour tailored for adolescent kids - seriously! Quite disappointing given the rich cast.

Utterly ridiculous, and not in a good way. Not even good as background noise.

Jason's the worst movie

It was an alright movie. Positive, had funny moments and lines, but not great overall. I think mostly enjoyed the side character portrayed by Jason Statham.

Again, McCarthy thinks incompetence is funny. Even if it were, she fails in every way. The switch half way through to be over the top annoying is just that. How absolutely horrible. Just play a normal person for a change because the attempts at comedy are cringeworthy.

The rest of the cast is brilliant, but nobody was really funny. There were lots of groaners, lots of eye rolling attempts to be funny, but I only think I smiled a couple times, and I never laughed. I take that back. Aldo was an amazing character. I laughed when he gets the door shut in his face. That short scene was actually very funny and really stood out. The dialogue is great for its wit and the plot is good. Basically everything is good except McCarthy.

The movie is decent despite McCarthy. The sad part is that if McCarthy has used her natural wit and played a serious roll with wit and charm, she could have knocked this out of the park. McCarthy just takes these over-the-top, try-way-too-hard-to-be-funny, roles and utterly fails. The in between bits where she isn't trying to be funny are the real gems.

I have such conflicted feelings about this movie. I think the script is great, the dialogue is amazing and Paul Fieg directed this brilliantly as always. But I'm really not a Melissa McCarthy fan, though this might be most I've liked her. Unfortunately for me, personally, vomit will pretty much ruin a movie, though I'm glad it was kept to a minimum. And there's just a general crassness to this movie that I'm not generally a fan of. But the action was good and it did have some really funny moments. Seeing Statham really lean into playing basically a parody version of himself was great, and every word from Miranda Hart was absolute gold. So I really don't know where I sit now with this.

the funniest movie ever lol

Toilet humor like somebody else commented, "haha it's funny 'cause she's overweight and unattractive, get it?"
I giggled just once in the first part of the movie. The second part was just free insults to everybody, like the writers didn't want to continue producing the movie...
Really shitty movie, it was bearable just because of Jude Law and Jason Statham (my love).

loading replies

Not a single subtle joke, just toilet humor, "haha it's funny 'cause she's overweight and unattractive, get it?" and awkward situations (which made me cringe at how fake they are, and not at the situations themselves). The only parts that I enjoyed were the constant bullying of McCarthy and a couple of anti-climactic plot turns. I guess one needs to be piss drunk to laugh at any of this.

I absolutely loved this movie, it was sooooo funny, definitely in my top 20. An extremely solid and deserved 10/10.

Could have done without all the fart/poop/puke jokes. But it's a Paul Feig movie, what did I expect?
Plus, all the twists hardly make sense.

Fun but instantly forgettable. If you don't like Melissa McCarthy, this isn't going to change your mind. Standouts are Jason Statham, playing against type as a bumbling idiot, Rose Byrne, as the villain and Miranda Hart, in (AFAIK) her first Hollywood role.

Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statnam are hilarious together.....laughed beyond belief

loading replies

I'm not a Melissa McCarthy fan, and I wouldn't have rewatched this if it hadn't been put on at a friend of mines. I didn't mind it too much because this is one of the better movies she has ever starred in. Not that it says much...

Spy is funny in places but seemed very forced in other. The acting is above par for a movie like this, but many of the actors look a bit disinterested in it all. Never a good thing for any movie.

The one that stood out was Jason Statham. His character is almost a parody on what he usually plays, and he's actually quite funny. Half a star extra just because of him.

If you just want something stupid to burn time with, it's not bad.

Who shot Karen Walker? Fine? But overall great movie, cracked me up!

I find as long as the movie is under 3hrs that the director should take as long as they need to tell their story.

Excellent sense of humor!!!Jason Statham kai Peter Serafino on fire!!

loading replies

Unpredictably funny. Melissa McCarthy's character definitely becomes more vibrant as the movie progressed. The story line had a few kinks and twists and generally kept me interested. The 'R' rating I think is what made this movie successfully. Any softer, and this would have likely been a flop. The action scenes are corny, but that's what make it funny to watch.

Jude Law doing the absence of accent equals american (that most British people believe is correct) and Jason Statham as always not changing his voice at all (explained away as having become a US citizen). Funny that the top male CIA agents are British and the foreign terrorist is American. They could at least have a scene with other agents that sound American.

A few scenes and a few jokes won't make me regret these two hours. ;>

Dragged out a little about 3 quaters in, but it wasn't regrettable. Far from it. The humour was genius, and the timing and acting were spot on. The action was cheeseyly good, and the story was definitely James Bond. Parody movies are some of my favourites but so easily ruined if taken too seriously. This took itself a little too seriously but also very unseriously. There's a certain scene, and if you've watched it, you know what scene I'm talking about. It caught me so offguard, I almost armadilloed myself onto the floor.

Hilariously funny, the action-comedy Spy is a clever spoofing of the spy genre. When an arms dealer learns the identities of the CIA’s top operatives, the CIA sends untested data analyst Susan Cooper into the field in order to track down the location of a nuclear weapon that the dealer is selling. Starring Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and Jude Law, the film has a strong cast. And, the comedy is quite clever, and does a wonderful job at lampooning the genre tropes and clichés. However, McCarthy’s brand of humor gets a little tiring after a while, and is kind of crass. Still, Spy is tremendously entertaining and delivers a lot of laughs.

This thing has no business being this good. It has so many good characters, there are about 4-5 scene stealers in this movie. The script is consistently funny (thank god for the R-rating), occasionally bordering on being cheap and trashy, but it’s mostly clever. There’s a little too much handholding for my liking, but the amount of exposition is overall tolerable. The action is competently handled by Feig, even though he should’ve dialed back on the amount of slowmo. The acting is way above average for the kind of film that it is, even Melissa McCarthy is quite good in this. I just wish the craft was a bit better. The cinematography is by no means bad, but a lot of scenes are just a bunch of close-ups cut together. The score doesn’t really stand out in any way either. Still, this is that rare action/comedy crowdpleaser that can be enjoyed by just about anyone, and I respect it for that.

7/10

Very funny, if somewhat crude in places. All the cast play their parts well and the action is good.

I was a bit disappointed with this movie. It got a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes but I think that this movie is a classic example where everyone agreed that the movie was good enough to get a positive review even thought it is by no means great. All of the pieces were there - good concept, great actor (McCarthy is always nails) and a template (Guy Ritchie). That said.... the movies was just ok. I think the big problem was the dialog - so many of the exchanges were just poor. At different times I wished it would be more like Guy Ritchie movies but that just never happened.

Buena película para reír y pasar el rato, actuaciones muy buenas y chistosas, la mejor en ese sentido la parodia de actuación de Jason Statham, no es igual a las actuaciones de acción que nos tiene acostumbrados. No la veas buscando una excelente historia, solo déjate llevar por el humor y la risa que en eso si que no falla.

Just finished watching this and walked into the cinema expecting a load of half-assed jokes, but I have to say if it wasn't for Peter Serafinowicz's charecter Aldo/Albert; constantly groping McCarthy and telling her that he wants to fuck her, this film wouldn't have been half as funny. The other half of the movie belongs to Jason Statham and Rose Byrne bullying McCarthy on a regular basis. I hope to see a sequal to this movie in the future but this film already has great replay value and I'll be watching again very soon, 7/10
