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!

Melissa McCarthy is brilliant as were Jason Statham, Rose Byrne and British comedic actress Miranda Hart. 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

Engaging story, direction, photography, as expected. The performances, especially Byrne's and Statham, are hilarious. But obviously, the real winner in this film is McCarthy. She just walks on with her sad costume and proves everyone just how bad-ass and agressive she can be while remaining the character with the wittiest, funniest one-liners. Paul Feig: you are a genius and can't wait for your Ghostbusters movie to come out next year.… Expand

Some scenes in the movie does make me cringe of Melissa McCarthy's performance, but she was surprisingly good in her role as "Spy" turns out to be a jolly-solid comedy spy film.

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".

A redefined wonderful spy movie.

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. A pleasant surprise.… Expand

What really makes this movie work is that it is just as much of a spy thriller as it is a comedy. It is thoroughly entertaining in both aspects. 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. The story in my opinion is intelligent and layered, which makes for an exciting movie going experience. Definitely one of the most entertaining movies I've seen this year.… Expand

I had thought it would be good but this really was the funniest film I have seen for quite sometime and definitely Melissa McCarthy's best performance. 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

I would have given this flick an 8 if it weren't for the overuse of the f-bomb. It seemed as though the screenwriter opened that spigot in the last quarter of the movie, and those bombs soon felt contrived and utterly gratuitous. I served 20 years in the Navy, and I don't remember sailors using such language. Have never understood why Hollywood writers feel so inclined to use it with such a heavy hand .

After "tammy" happened people didn't like her for writing/staring in it, but this is her comedy triumph. What's funny is the fact that the film makes fun of the spy movies cliche's, which Feig has achieved in writing the script; when Jason Statham is popping jokes, when McCarthy's one-liners are 'filthy-volley' and isults Rose Byrne you have to watch this film.

Spy is the best constantly hilarious slapstick romp since "It's A Mad Mad Mad World." After the first 15 minutes, it's an hour and forty-five minutes of laugh-out-loud banana peel and gag-writing antics.

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

Mcarthy is brilliant, and Statham displays a hitherto unseen sense of comic timing that was utilised to great effect. A surprising script peppered with every expletive you can think of, and probably some you can't, and some rather visceral violence ensures that Mcarthy will be thought of alongside other famous on-screen spies. The action sequences were excellent and the dialogue was absolutely superb, with so many memorable lines.

"I once drove a car off a freeway, on top of a train, while I was on fire. Not the car -- I was on fire!" Growls Jason Statham’s Super macho super spy during one of many hilarious scenes in this Over the top spy comedy.

Subtle this isn’t!"I once drove a car off a freeway, on top of a train, while I was on fire. Not the car -- I was on fire!" Growls Jason Statham’s Super macho super spy during one of many hilarious scenes in this Over the top spy comedy.

Subtle this isn’t! What it is, is stuffed with Hilarious performances from all the lead actors and an absolutely scene stealing performance from Jason Statham’s as a super Macho parody of his normal action hero persona.

Spy is a raucous in your face Spy comedy that also has really good amount of entertaining action, McCarthy is excellent in the comedic elements and surprisingly proficient in the action scenes.

The standout action sequence being a brutal hand to hand and knife to knife (and frying pan to knife and.... on and on ) that was not only the best fight in the film but on par with some of the best action scenes in the genre (yes I would include the Bourne fights).

McCarthy manages to be swing between awkward secretary and bad ass super spy and does so in a convincing and entertaining way.

The plot plays around in silly spoof territory with just enough serious elements thrown in to make this feel like more then just a spoof but actually a pretty competent spy thriller, between this and Kingman we are having a pretty good year for the spy genre so far 8.5 out of 10 but I rounded the score up to 9.… Expand

The first few minutes could easily be a James Bond movie with Jude Law in the role, but soon we are taken on a different path. When Melissa McCarthy is thrust into the field, we get surprised and delighted as she ends up being effective despite (or perhaps because of) her non-conformity to role expectations. The film manages even to argue feminism while being hilarious, no mean feat. Highly recommended.… Expand

The action was also fun to watch and never let up. Overall, while it wasn't quite as funny as I had hoped it would be, there wasn't a dull moment in the film and it kept me entertained from start to finish, which is enough for me.

I was never once bored in this flick; it even features 50 Cent! This is ten times better than Bridesmaids.… Expand

Jason Statham also plays a great role in the film with an almost Chuck Norris aspect to him. It was surprising to see a more Comedy focused movie is able to still keep entertaining Action.

There is slapstick comedy, sex jokes, gratuitous violence and non stop swearing town into the mix, to make for a more enjoyable movie. Wit the shortage of GOOD Cop/Spy comedies nowdays, Paul Feig and his cast set out to make a movie that people could laugh at, not with it. Examples: Paul Blart Mall Cop 2, which was a turd for both Kevin James and the predecessor it relies on. Spy is fun, every moment was comic and delightful. McCarthy steals the show, and Jude Law was descent as well. There is also Transporter Statham thrown in, he seemed awkwardly disturbed in a movie about dick jokes and nudity, but he seemed the fit. Feig handles the film well. It was funny. For the average person, Spy will not be enjoyable. But for me, who came of the Naked Gun movies, I relate to Susan Cooper and her job.

While McCarthy spreads her comic showcase extremely well, her screen time together with Rose Byrne are genuinely funny and impressive thanks to the compelling relationships crafted between both of them eventhough it's antagonistic in nature. The film sounds ridiculous but the act of balancing the line between being a comedy and an action thriller that allow colorful characters development without any boundaries have overall qualified the film for another sequel.… Expand

You will definitely get some chuckle out of this film. I would recommend at least renting the film when it comes on on DVD if you are at all curious. The film had some excellent performances particularly from Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham. Paul Feig gives some excellent direction and writes the film pretty well despite the fact that there are parts that don’t fully hit the mark, but I would say it’s a lot better than other comedy films that have come out in recent memory. It does, however, have the unfortunate timing of coming out between Kingsman and Spectre and I think it will get lost in the shuffle between them, and I would say I definitely preferred Kingsman as a film on almost every level and I would go back to that film again before this one. With all that said though, this is a very enjoyable film and I had a great experience in going to see it at the cinema. I would probably recommend it, particularly for it’s action scenes which were better than I was expecting. If you like action comedies, this is probably one to add to your list.… Expand

First they brought us Bridesmaids, then The Heat, and now we have Spy.

There is no denial that when director Paul Feig teams up with actress Melissa McCarthy they bring out the best in each other. Going into the film I thought this wouldFirst they brought us Bridesmaids, then The Heat, and now we have Spy.

There is no denial that when director Paul Feig teams up with actress Melissa McCarthy they bring out the best in each other. Going into the film I thought this would be a typical Melissa McCarthy film involving lots of slapstick comedy like previous films of hers like Identity Thief, or Tammy and I was completely wrong. Her character was toned down in comparison to those films, which was a pleasant surprise. With Spy, Mellissa shows that she can carry an entire film and that she truly can be an action star.

The film revolves around a CIA analyst by the name of Susan Cooper played by Melissa McCarthy (The Heat, Bridesmaids) who has spent her entire career as a desk worker working closely with agent Bradley Fine played by Jude Law (Black Sea, Sherlock Holmes). Susan helps Agent Bradley by using high-tech equipment and a hidden earpiece on every mission. She helps Bradley survive every mission. Now, when Bradley is assassinated by Bulgarian arms dealer Rayna Boyanov played by Rose Byrne (Insidious, Bridesmaids) Susan argues her way into her first undercover assignment to help capture Boyanov and seek revenge for Bradley’s death.

As a film Spy was a great surprise. Paul Feig did a terrific job directing the action scenes by making them so clear. The comedic timing between the actors was also great like always. The surprise of the film was action star Jason Statham (The Transporter, Crank) who plays a field agent trying to get his job back. Every line that came out of Jason’s mouth made the audience laugh out loud including me. It was nice to see him do something different than being the tough guy.

Over all, Spy is not a comedic masterpiece but it is truly a great time at the movies, and a huge surprise for such a packed summer. If you enjoyed director Paul Feig’s previous work then you will love Spy. I certainly recommend it.

Final Score: 7.1/10… Expand

Thanks heaven SPY has arrived, a third collaboration with Paul Feig, and unites her with the criminally under-appreciated her BRIDESMAIDS (2011) co-star Rose Byrne, and under Feig’s helm, together they concoct up a thoroughly hilarious spin-off of James Bond’s spy trademark, with an overhaul of a female lead and in passing, finally fulfils Jude Law’s yearning as a suited-up top agent after he lost the battle to Daniel Craig almost 10 years ago, and gives Jason Statham a rare opportunity to tease his own action hero stereotype.

Smaller cast members; Miranda Hart, Peter Serafinowicz, and Allison Janney all contributed greatly to the movie. Melissa McCarthy has played many roles similar to this one, so if you want to see a different character from her, you will have to wait for her next film. McCarthy still delivers when she turns into filthy-mouthed intelligent badass after she has to become a spy for the CIA, because the entire group of spies have been discovered by the extremely ignorant villain, played by the beautiful Rose Byrne. McCarthy has to save the world from a nuclear bomb, and along the way she keeps you laughing and wondering what might come out of her mouth next, and of course if she will succeed in finding the bomb.… Expand

There hasn't been a comedy this good and this consistently funny since maybe The Lego Movie, but I would argue that Spy is even better than that. Spy is about a CIA analyst, played by Melissa McCarthy, who has to go undercover after her partner falls off the grid to prevent a global disaster. I love Melissa McCarthy, but this is by far her best role I've seen her in. She's an extremely versatile actress, who can make pretty much every type of joke a hit. They're all perfectly timed and delivered so that, even if the jokes themselves aren't all that funny, the timing and delivery made them so much better than they should have been. The plot itself is a little thin, but there are some good twists towards the end. It almost doesn't matter because of how much you'll be laughing throughout the movie.

As a result her characterSurprisingly a movie that doesn't just rely on McCarthy being as vulgar as she can. I mean don't get me wrong, there is plenty of raunchy, vulgar humor with lots of profanity, but McCarthy herself seems toned down. As a result her character is much more endearing, and this very well might be the best film of her career.

To be honest the whole cast is fantastic. Everyone contributes to the jokes in their own way. Particular standouts include Miranda Hart and Jason Statham. They soar as the best of the supporting cast. It's the theme that really keeps things together though. It's a wonderful send up to spy movies. It even has a James Bond style music opening.

There are many laugh out loud moments to be found. However there are jokes that land with a thud. Especially during the film's slow opening. However once things get going it turns into a funny, if not always hilarious, combination of the spy and comedy movie genres. On particularly impressive thing about the movie is that it does feel like a real spy movie, just with more humor than the average affair. Most combinations on these two genres end up feeling a little mixed as they usually end up feeling like more comedy than spy movie. This one combines them well.

As a result we get some surprisingly well done action scenes. The plot itself is actually very tight as well. The cool thing about it is that it doesn't feel like it's making fun of McCarthy in the process. You are actually able to sympathize with her character. She feels like a real person as opposed to just some laugh sack created for the sole purpose of delivering profanity laced shock humor.

It's McCarthy's best character and arguably her best film. It's got plenty of laughs and an all around excellent cast. While not a laugh riot there is still enough funny stuff here to make it worth a watch, eve if you don't typically like McCarthy's work. Heck, it's even a solid spy film that fans of that genre could check it out and enjoy it, so long as they don't mind added humor.

I give the movie a 7.5/10… Expand

Surprisingly funny while still having a pretty interesting comedic plot. In my opinion it outperforms the over praised Kingsman from earlier this year (which was really good too). Good characters, good scenery and Melissa doing her thing. It has not benefited from the actress´ previous films, which were not too good and probably turned some people off, which ended making this film not that successful. But it´s a great comedy with a lot going on.… Expand

This movie was hilarious. They took a genre, the spy film, and stayed true to it with both the action and acting but deftly interjected lots of humor all the while they played it straight.

They took a genre, the spy film, and stayed true to it with both the action and acting but deftly interjected lots of humor all the while they played it straight. I think it was easily Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrnes best comedic work to date. And major props to both Jason Statham and Jude Law who absolutely killed it in this move. If they do a sequel, they need to at the very least get Statham back as his character was brilliant.

I will see this again when it comes out on DVD as I missed a few lines due to audience laughter. FWIW, there's an end of credit outtake that's worth checking out.… Expand

A fast moving and very enjoyable comedy spy romp with great action sequences and sharp one liner put downs, does earn its Cert 15 rating (UK) though.

I laughed. The wifey and I had a good time. But why is the bag of dicks joke keep being reused? I mean, its a heavily reused bag of dicks. We should have at least fresh bags, even if the dicks are pretty well worn.

I am the furthest from a Melissa McCarthy fan (I didn’t even care for Bridesmaids) as you can get, but even I enjoyed this better-than-expected spy parody. McCarthy plays a desk-bound CIA analyst who volunteers to go undercover to infiltrateI am the furthest from a Melissa McCarthy fan (I didn’t even care for Bridesmaids) as you can get, but even I enjoyed this better-than-expected spy parody. McCarthy plays a desk-bound CIA analyst who volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer and prevent a diabolical global disaster. Manages to be a hilarious R-rated broad comedy while also being a decent spy thriller in it’s own right and Jason Statham is simply a riot in this!!… Expand

This movie proves Melissa McCarthy can be funny, even without the topic of her size

Obviously, the film proves that this is the best performance of Melissa McCarthy. The film proves its value from the beginning, but losted credibility on screenplay issues. Finally some very good participation of the leading actress. 7.0/10

I was surprised at just how good this film was. I laughed all the way through. Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham in particular put in great comic turns, but really everyone is top notch in this film.
