Spy

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...

These things are really, really not for me. I found a couple of laughs in Statham's role but beyond that Spy did nothing for me. I know folks who do enjoy this, and other Feig/McCarthy films, but I genuinely do not understand the appeal, maybe Spy is better than the others, maybe not, but it did absolutely nothing to turn me around on these collabs.

Final rating: - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.

I have just got to say that I am a bit biased, simply because I love this movie. Jason Statham and Melissa McCarthy are awesome together in their roles, and even though Jude Law does a decent job as well, this movie is all about Melissa and Jason to me.

I find the language of the character of Jason Statham to be very ugly, but still, it is needed to make his character be in the way it is supposed to be. And to be honest, he is completely hilarious!

Melissa is something very similar, and she is perfect for her role as an analyst that has to work undercover, taking the place of all other agents whose identities have been revealed to the "enemy".

You will get lots of reasons to laugh throughout the movie, and it is incredibly easy to ...

Sometimes, the soul longs for the dramatic artistry evidenced on stage, such as Zoe Caldwell in Medea (1982 - Cort Theater in New York City). Other times, the mind seeks to escape into the comedic stylings of an actor you really respect like Melissa McCarthy. Spy espies our desire for adventure, action, and righting the wrongs of our world and is not to be missed!

Susan Cooper is like many of us. Shi is intelligent and seeks to do the right thing. Shi can be kind, giving even, but doesnt wish to be stepped on by anyone. Shi is fun and funny. In the end, shi surprises us with her street smarts and well-trained (yet scary) moves. Susan is our womin. Shi is simultaneously us and who we wish to be. Rose Byrne shocked me with how wel...
