Worth giving it a try .
I have been a fan of old Stephen Chow comedy and you could not find any actor in the modern HK comedy industry that could replace him.

Watched it yesterday, it was funny and entertaining. It was Melissa's best performance so far and she nailed it nicely. Jude Law was being Jude Law, super spy suave with a sense of klutziness (beginning scene) and was hilarious too.

Jason Statham, OMG......tough guy spy with a mouth of an AK47.....his funniest role thus far thumbup.gif

If RT rates it 100%, then it's a definite must watch movie!

Jude Law and jason Statham alone are worth watching.. just that never seen them in a comical flick before.. hmm.gif

u might be disappointed because they don't have any scene together. And...personally I think they're both don't deserve co-star credit.
their appearance are quite short, like a cameo smile.gif

If u love Jason Statham, you'll love him in this. Definitely the best performance so far I saw in Jason thumbup.gif

Spy (2015)

laugh.gif

Definitely a Melissa McCarthy vehicle.

Jason Statham exercising his comedic muscles (his biggest wish had always been to be a comedian. Alas, his built makes casting director to pigeon hole him into action hero/bad guy roles... The injustice of it all!!! doh.gif )

A friend of mine commented after watching this movie that Jude Law should be the next James Bond!!

Speaking of James Bond, this movie SHAMELESSLY plagerised from James Bond. SHAMELESSLY. And have to add, it actually works.

The plot line is nonsensical, but then again, it is a comedy, so no one is actually keeping track... (Well, maybe me, chalk it up to my OCD...)

Because of Melissa McCarthy, fat jokes a plenty.

Morena Baccarin is in this (hubba hubba) but alas... such a small character...

Now, whilst watching the movie, I keep going, who is this? Where have I seen her before?? (Rose Byrne).

Did a quick search after the movie and.... DUH!!?! The mother from Insidious.... Kudos, she is a chameleon, she is so good at her role, you cannot remember what she was previously!!!

If you are looking for a comedy, to chill after a hard days work, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Spy (2015).

Think you need to find your own voice. Schmoes, Jahn or Stuckmann already got the casual film critique coverages. Then the snobbish Mark Kermode and What the flick will look at movies from the perspectives of a more traditional editorial approach. No harm if you familiarize yourself with film making ideologies such as auteur theory and french new waves to pad your understanding or knowledge so to form your own opinion better.
One of the easiest way is to follow a career path of a legendary film director like Kubrick,Scorsese,etc....not the Michael Bay type la!
As you watch every subsequent film about them, whether the good or the bad one. Try to identify the soul of each film as not just in personal preference but story structure, art direction, cinematography, editing, and music placement. A great film director will always stamp his personal voice and message in the films he made. Some does it with acting performances like Scorsese, some just relies on cinematography like Terrence Malick and some just uses personal stylistic approach as in Tarantino. Then you have Kubrick who reinterpret the rules of whatever genre he works in. biggrin.gif

After having enough of the spy genre (SKYFALL the most recent disappointment) - this movie, for me - the highlight of the year so far.

One dialogue exchange in the trailer - is not in the movie - goes something like this:

[while discussing about Susan becoming an agent]
SUSANS BOSS: Don't let me down, Cooper.
SUSAN: No I won't - I will let you up.
SUSANS BOSS: Ok stop talking.
SUSAN: I will let you up.

Sounds corny in written format - but it made me want to watch it whilst watching the trailer.

Did anybody crack up when -as part of her disguise- she gets a wristwatch with the "Beaches" movie theme picture(with Barbara Hershey/Bette Midler) on it? Its hilarious because "Beaches" (featuring the 'wind beneath my wings' theme song) is just what the type of character Susan is trying to impersonate, would be a fan of.

Whoa.
Deep and in-depth stuff right there.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write it out.
It’s definitely direction I wanna head towards.
It'll definitely take me some time to get there.

Today just watched this movie after seeing so many good comments here. I never have such a good laugh for watching movie since I can remembered for quite a long time.
One hilarious scene I have to mention is when Melissa trying to chase the killer ( Nargis Fakhri ), she try to imitate Nargis jumping from car to car but couldn't and fell down. I laughed my a** off for that particular scene. Really a funny movie, worth every penny ( like the character Penny Morgan in the movie ). I really enjoy Jason Statham's character ,he make me crack up every time.

Rose Byrne stole the movie.

if Melissa could be an Oscar nominee for Bridesmaid, Rose Byrne should be nominated as best supporting actress next yr

Don't want to spoil it by giving too much details, but Jason Statham had his arm around Jude Law while the latter's arm was still hurt, referring to him as Beverly Whine if I'm not mistaken.

Damn Jason Statham can actually do comedy while still being himself and not doing anything stupid (except the last part where his coat got stuck on the door knob or something).
