This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Melissa McCarthy stars in 'Roseanne Blart: Spy Cop', playing a desk-bound CIA analyst who volunteers to go undercover and find a deadly arms dealer. Okay, i'm sorry, let's try and be professional.

'Spy' is the first Melissa McCarthy film i’ve seen, and without doubt it will definitely be the last. It’s written and directed by Paul Feig, the man who thinks he understands the Ghostbusters franchise so well he wants to reboot it with a female cast, because that’s the cool thing to do these days, right? Is there an agenda in Hollywood that is pushing Feig and McCarthy? Did i miss a meeting or a memo?

Anyway, despite an impressive cast featuring Rose Byrne, Jude Law, Jason Statham, and Peter Serafinowicz, the film is the most mediocre garbage i’ve seen this year. Thumbs up to Byrne and Statham playing characters out of their comfort zone but the tired, forced stupidity was overbearing. Throw in an eye rolling cliche cameo from rapper 50 Cent, and you're all set for a complete waste of time. I feel dirty just thinking i spent two hours watching this. Why is it two hours long? It’s ‘comedy’ consists of jaw dropping, bottom of the barrel material such as fart jokes, dick pics, racial stereotypes, racist abuse, fat woman shouting and fat woman falling over. I wasn't fooled by the 'razor sharp wit' that is actually random, dumb, irrelevant humour which will appeal to the lowest common denominator. It's the go-to structure for lazy mainstream comedies today.

Do you remember intelligent, well written spy/agent comedies such as Pink Panther, Naked Gun or more recently Red and The Kingsman? Well you won’t find anything remotely similar here! It’s shocking Spy is being praised as ‘progressive’ and full of ‘belly laughs’. More like ‘formulaic’ and full of **** Despite her tag as the female Kevin James, I gave McCarthy a chance. Despite the trailer looking average, i gave the film a chance. Boy, should i have gone with my instincts.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert! Let's sum it up: Juvenile vulgarity? Check. Predictable writing and humor? Check. Melissa McCarthy in all her typecasted glory? Check. Unbelievably athletic obese women? Check. Dick picks? Check. The old overly stupid men/ smart women cliche? Check. Gay 50cent cameos? Check. Predictable plot? Check. Incredibly unintelligent? Check. Complete waste of 2 hours? Check.

If you've been waiting for a vulgar version of "Mall Cop" then your wait is over. Spy is truly deserving of a single star.… Expand

This is a really funny movie. There was so much laughing from the crowd, you even missed some of the jokes! Many great performances. Don't believe any negative reviews from people who can't laugh. Go see it!

If you are a man, you can't make great stuff, you will fail or be saved by an ugly woman. All along the movie, men make sexual harassement on the woman "hero". For the rest, it's just bad written, it's boring. Only the first scene is nice, when you see the spy and his agent (a "normal" person) working together to make the mission successful. They should have work on that. I was out of the movie when the "normal" person started to act like a superhero. It was 3 painfull hours. I almost regret to have watching this crap. I didn't enjoy the movie. It's a bad spy movie. Don't waste your time here. Those great actor skills are wasted in this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK, so this looks like an interes...oh my God! its another bloody Bond parody!! seriously!!! Yes the modern age feminist hipster, Paul Feig, takes a swing at the Bond genre, and oh what an original concept that is, gee I wonder what we'll see here...ugh!

So naturally its an adult comedy with lashings of semi-serious action, CGI blood, swearing and a whole heap of Melissa McCarthy and other actresses. Basically the plot revolves around McCarthy playing Cooper, a desk jockey CIA analyst who helps the very suave, completely clichéd character of Fine played by Jude Law. Yep, if you ever wanted to see what it would be like having Jude Law as Bond, well here you go. After a botched mission Fine is supposedly killed off and the CIA need someone to take his place, an unknown, hence they can't use Statham who plays another totally clichéd agent character we've all seen before. We then follow Cooper around as she slowly but surely sinks deeper and deeper into a mission, which she was never really suppose to get into in the first place (she was only meant to be surveillance).

Oh geez where to start, the plot is unoriginal sure, we all know that, but how about some original ideas...oh too late. From the very first scene I had a good idea what this film was aiming at and how the characters would play out. Spoiler alert! but the minute you see Law as this debonair spy, you know he's obviously gonna die early on, he's clearly the plot setup for McCarthy's Cooper, I mean come on, who didn't see that?! But wait! as the film progresses and more and more characters are introduced, we start to see double agents and characters popping up outta nowhere who are suddenly spies or assassins. All of sudden characters we saw at the start who appeared to just be the butt of a joke or background fodder, are now main characters out to kill the protagonist. Its at this point you know that anyone is fair game and anyone can surprisingly come back from the dead when you thought they had been killed off. So I quickly realised that Jude Law probably wasn't dead at all. Seeing as we didn't actually see him die, clearly he can come back, and he did...*groan*

The plot is a mess of characters bouncing back and forth between the goodies and the baddies. Seriously, there are characters popping up all over the place, getting whacked, and then replaced minutes later by new ones, only to get killed just as quickly. The ones that don't get killed, you just know are probably gonna turn out to be secret agents, but on either side. I honesty thought Law's character of Fine was gonna keep flippin' sides! he was a goodie, then a baddie, then a goodie again, but at this point I genuinely suspected he would turn on Cooper yet again right at the death, and then get properly killed off. Amazingly the film beat me on that one, but this film could of kept spinning these characters round and round, one double agent twist after another.

The actual characters are a completely mixed bag of nuts that all had one thing in common, none of them managed to actually make me laugh...at any point. McCarthy was...well, pretty much like McCarthy is in every bloody movie she's ever done (whilst looking oddly like Dawn French at one point), whilst her sidekick, played by Brit Miranda Hart, was just simply annoying and unfunny. I swear, an early scene near the start has McCarthy and Law in conversation at dinner, they are both talking about themselves and offering basic foreshadowing of things to come. Now initially there are moments that made me smile (as there were throughout this film), but this obviously intended funny sequence just went on and on and on...it just didn't f*cking stop. Like seriously, the moment has passed, the joke is over, its not funny anymore its just awkwardly embarrassing, stop flogging this dead horse!!

The only characters that did offer some genuine giggles were Statham as a dumb, cocky but tough agent, nothing gobsmackingly funny mind you, but reasonable. Next to him I quite liked Peter Serafinowicz as the slimy Italian (yet another secret agent) Aldo who can't keep his hands off the ladies. Sure this character felt like a cheesy 'Carry- On' character (something I would of thought was beyond the realms of acceptance for Feig), but his antics were amusing. Other than that everyone was just there, doing exactly what you expected them to be doing with these character types. Get a load of Law by the way, how much flippin' makeup?? Oh and both Statham and the main baddie fall into the lake from that helicopter at the end, so why does only Statham survive?

I know this movie was relatively successful but I don't really understand why. Yes some parts were good such as the gadgets sequence near the start which is obviously yet more parodies of a certain franchise, and I did quite like how the main female villain was a spoilt bratty Princess type, although again that did become annoying at times too. But in general everything just felt very generic to me and relied far too much on feeble visual gags including male genitals and slapstick, lots of profanity and lots of weight/looks shaming jabs. Even the inclusion of lots of blood and a bit of gore didn't do anything for me, that just felt unnecessary and shoved in to appease the male audience. I would say this was more enjoyable than 'The Heat' which was pretty dire, but at the end of the day, I found this to be an infantile, factory assembly line, cookie cutter of a flick.… Expand

If you get a chance watch, all of the end credits all the way through, as they have a bunch of other possible scenarios of future "Susan Cooper" adventures. I smiled through almost the entire film and even laughed out loud several time. It's very entertaining and a huge improvement over "Tammy", which may be one of McCarthy's worst films.… Expand

Spy is witty, hilarious and doesn't rely on cheap jokes, even the over the top insults are clever. We witness a quiet desk bound CIA analyst's descent into a strong and wild character. Definitely makes us oversee the feeble attempts of "Tammy".

I know Melissa McCarthy since 'Gilmore Girls', but never thought she would rise this far, especially to dominate in a movie with the presence of the big names around her, that too in an action film equivalent to top quality. She's one of my favourite actresses, even I enjoyed thoroughly her under-appreciated 'Tammy'. So this is where the action stars become comedians and comedians action stars. Indeed, it worked out so well.

It shames comedy-spy flicks like 'The Pink Panther', 'Johnny English' etc. From the director of 'The Heat', helmed another perfect female oriented comedy. Jude Law was a decent as usual, but Jason Statham was unbelievably awesome in his tiny part. I had plenty of good laughs, the loud ones after a long time. I still remember the unicorn joke and I can't stop laughing. And roof over a bike, gadgets and so on... I find Melissa McCarthy's line deliverance are so funny and I enjoy her films specially for that reason.

I know they used a stunt double and blue/green screens in the crucial segments for a better result. But still she excelled in all stunt sequences that required physically herself in front of the camera. One of the trivia says, after the end of each day shooting, she looked like fell down an elevator shaft. Her hard work definitely paid off very well.

There are lots of adult oriented comedy, so strictly it is for grownups only and may be matured teens. I'll be definitely disappointed if they won't make a sequel for this. If they do, I hope they retain all the cast, especially Statham along the lead actress. And finally I'm looking forward the director-actress's the third collaboration, 'Ghostbusters'.

TheJust when I thought that Melissa McCarthy had worn out her comedic welcome (thanks to Tammy and Identity Theft, a bad one-two punch), I guess all she needed was her Bridesmaids and The Heat director Paul Feig to get her out of her slump. The plot is very similar to Get Smart (or even Johnny English). When all the other agents are compromised, a lower level assistant is recruited to field work. The difference is that McCarthy's character is very good at her job. And it's the characters she bounces off of and their interaction that makes this movie work, beside the chase scenes and action sequences (which are all staged well) . Jason Statham plays off his macho image brilliantly, with every manly boast getting more absurd. Rose Byrne continues her comedy streak as the **** And just as Fieg introduced Rebel Wilson to American audiences in Bridesmaids, Brit Miranda Hart is great as the gawkward best friend.

Another reviewer said she just randomly turns into a competent agent, but I don't think that is the case. I think she was competent from the beginning. The problem was just that they didn't believe in her. There's often talk of badass females in action movies and this is one of them.

She portrays her character in such an endearing way yet at the same time is utterly hilarious. The rest of the cast is also fantastic. Rose Byrne is great with her constant put downs and a scene with her and McCarthy on a plane is hysterical. Miranda Hart is also terrific even though I initially thought her out of place but once she moved out into the field in the second half of the film I could not take my eyes off her and found that she stole scenes with great one liners or even just funny mannerisms. Jason Statham was perhaps not as funny as I was expecting but he was still great delivering his lines in a comically dead pan voice.The most plaudits must however go to Paul Feig for managing to create a film that was hilarious yet also riveting through its many plot twists and action sequences. His writing was so brilliantly specific to each character, something that only heightened the comedy. There were also many occasions during the film when lines became inaudible due to the laughter of myself and the audience at a previous line or action.… Expand

Premise: A parody of spy films.

Pros:

1. Hilarious all around and Melissa McCarthy has done a great job.
2. Jason Statham in his best work yet in a long, long time. (From the films I have seen, his previous good (at least a 4/5) work was Snatch with Brad Pitt in 2000 though I haven't seen Furious 7, and he only had a cameo in Fast and Furious 6.) Furthermore, he's not good here because of his usual capabilities but because he was ridiculously funny! You haven't seen him this funny in any other film.

Con:

1. The twist towards the end wasn't explained properly and this twist is the reason for a couple of events earlier in the film.
2. It is rated R, but it was unnecessarily violent and unnecessarily full of vulgarities.
3. Rose Byrne's character was not consistent and a bit hard to believe.

4/5 (no half scores). Good enough to pay to watch in the cinema.… Expand

Though Melissa McCarthy is on the verge of being typecast (or has she already) this film is funny, smart and sassy. I loved the deadpan humour and action. Jason Statham though does need to work on his comedic timing.
