WHYYYYY are we supposed to believe mila kunis is an average, everyday woman are you KIDDING i’m honestly INSULTED .....

not to sound like a normie but remember that episode of the office where everyone’s arguing about whether or not hilary swank is hot and kelly starts crying and is like “if you’re saying hilary swank isn’t hot then you’re saying i’m not hot because i’m definitely not as hot as hilary swank” ...... that was me as this movie consistently slapped me in the face by alleging that one of the most beautiful women on the planet is “”””AVERAGE”””””

straight up one of the first scenes is someone passive aggressively telling mila’s character that she expected her boyfriend (the…

Gillian Anderson exudes so much Big Dick Energy in this she could take down an army of men.

Review by leonize ★★★

Ended a bit slow and kinda saw the twist coming - if you can call it a twist. Kate was hilarious and .. Mila... beautiful gowns.

i love women
Review by Cameron Wayne Johnson ★★½

It's a comic atonement for all that Bond girl sexism, because "Spy" somehow didn't do that with the independent single woman who had actual espionage credentials. Audrey Stockton is just your average cashier, coping with a break-up with her hunky boyfriend, when Jamie Fraser shows up with a posh English accent and a James Bond swagger. Wipe off that drool, ladies, because he somehow brings bad news: that said hunky boyfriend is in fact a CIA agent with a price on his head. More like an MIA agent (nyuk-nyuk-nyuk), Drew is on the run with a seemingly important artifact that dangerous people want. After Drew is killed, Audrey and her best friend are soon swept off to Europe, again, by…
Review by Donald May Jr ★★★½

Completely harmless, silly comedy about two women getting caught up in an international spy conspiracy... over secrets on a USB flash drive. Honestly, there are some REALLY good stunts and action set pieces in this one and Kate McKinnon is an absolute blast to watch. In my opinion, McKinnon should be in every future comedy ever made, but then I would have to watch them all and I wouldn't have time. My only complaint is that this film is a long one for the content... at a few minutes shy of two hours, this one starts to wear out its welcome about 90 minutes in.
Review by Keeker ★★

A couple of funny moments and that's it. Try as she might - and boy, does she try! - Kate McKinnon is just not funny. And when are people going to stop calling MacGuffins "the package"? Ugh!
Review by colinw ★★★

I was most proud of how committed this was to its premise. A full 2-hour throwback to the days of 80’s/90’s action-comedies tinged with a decently thought out, positive female friendship and 1 solid arc for Kunis. think Rush Hour meets Thelma and Louise.

Dug the amount of blood and gore I saw in all of the (mostly) impressive setpieces. This is where a lot of the good sight gags come from?? The R rating is not wasted or abused in this 👍🏻

Too many side characters for its own good and yet another always-at-11 performance from McKinnon. Funny enough, her whole arc is based on the fact that she’s “too much” to anyone who isn’t Kunis. And her character’s name is Morgan Freeman so I guess that’s a joke.
Review by garfinkel ★★½

The Biggest Surprise
Fairly decent action scenes.

Least Surprising
The usual Kate McKinnon routine. Her delivery always feels inauthentic.
Kunis feels at home in the role balancing comedy and believability.

Overall
Most of it just isn't funny. Lots of forced comic dialogue. Something is off with the pace and timing. Possibly the odd mix of genuine action sequences (one of them looking right out of M:I: Fallout) followed by empty comic banter between the two when they are in a dire situation.

what tha heck
Review by Noide127 ★★★★½

I laughed so hard the whole time. It is violent, it is dumb and improbable, but that is what I need sometimes from my movies.

In the end they drag a bit too much the "mistery" for the movie, but it's cool.
