"A desk-bound CIA analyst volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent diabolical global disaster." Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne.
We saw this last night and it was hilarious. It's a Paul Feig movie, so it has the familiar Melissa McCarthy formula, but this time it's James Bonded up with lots of action, plot twists, and funny deaths.

I really enjoyed it. And it makes me irrationally happy that Suki is more successful than Lorelei.

But really, who would have thought that Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham would be in such a funny movie together? |

Saw this last night. Had a bit more real (vs. comic) violence than I was expecting, but really funny. Jason Statham was particularly good, especially in his monologues when he lists all the ridiculous spy things he's done. I also appreciated how the movie was filled with competent women. Excellent fight choreography too, I felt.

I just got back from seeing it. I really enjoyed it! I haven't seen a movie in the theater in a while, but I wanted to see this one opening weekend to do my little part to contribute to a strong opening. I thought she did a good job of playing vulnerable and kick ass in the same role. I hope this does really well.

It is nice to see him have fun with a role, he usually plays douche, smug or snob. Nice to see him poke a bit of fun at himself.

Fully clothed for this one.  This was hilarious. We loved it and laughed and laughed. Great fight scenes as well. |
