Never seen or heard of this film before and I found it hilarious in parts and a great watch

This came out around the Melissa McCarthy rage and it honestly looked terrible so I never had any interest in seeing it. It's not a great movie but it did surprise me. The plot was decent enough with a couple plot twists but it was mainly about her free styling. Sometimes it was really funny and sometimes she just kept going too long which is basically what always happens with her. I enjoyed the first half of the movie a lot but then she became more confident in the movie and thus her insults became more ridiculous. I thought she was much more funny when she wasn't confident but either way it was a decent use of my time. Much better than I thought it would be.

This is one of my favorite comedies in the last few years. Genuinely funny all around. My favorite Melissa McCarthy performance, as the likeable every-day hero. Jason Statham and Allison Janey provide a hilarious contrast, often stealing the scene with their supporting work. Spy plays out like a espionage thriller with an deft comedic touch. This movie surprised me with its humor and heart, and if you missed it, definitely check it out.

I avoided this bomb for 3 years, but with little other choice of things to watch, and my sister saying she had enjoyed it, I gave it a chance. Full of things even a child would not find funny (the likes of fart jokes and excessive profanity), but unfortunately completely void of humour. And they are considering a sequel?
