Spy is a movie that can make you smile from the beginning to the end, and this is a really fun movie. It combines both humor and action in one movie, so it will never feel boring. This movie is really good because it is so funny and high comparability.

The director Paul S. Feig usually films comedy, and not surprisingly he filmed a really fun movie. The combination of Susan Cooper (Melissa Ann McCarthy) and Rick Ford (Jason Statham) surprises me because Susan looks fun but Rick looks serious I never imagine how they have sparks between two of them. However, they made it, and the result goes well.

It begins when Rayna Boyanov (Mary Rose Byrne) sells the nucleus to someone, and the CIA is going to stop her. Susan was a desk-bound CIA employee. After her partner Bradley Fine (Jude Law) dies, she becomes a field agent for revenge and to finish the mission that Fine didn't finish. When she is doing the mission, she sees the bad guys and follows them to Europe. In the process, she finds out who sold out the list of the CIA. Also, Susan becomes Rayna Boyanov's bodyguard while going to see the buyer to catch both out them.

The funniest make me unforgettable. In Spy, I have one scene I like the most. After Susan gets the mission, she goes to a department to take her "weapons", but the name of "weapons" are really funny. The reason they create the fake names for their equipment is to prevent the enemies know they are spies. For example, they labeled antifungal spray can freeze any security system, hemorrhoids wipes are soaked in chloroform, and stool softener as an antidote. I really like this part, the fake names they make is really interesting. The reason I feel fun because the names they use is unusual, and people usually will not want people know they are using these things. People usually thinks spies are handsome, mystery and cool, but no one thinks it can film like a comedy. This is the scene that I want to let people know this is most interesting.

Comparing with other comedy movies, and it makes me feel this is the best comedy. Ghostbuster is another comedy, and also is Melissa Ann McCarthy starring, and is Paul S. Feig directing. However, the points I feel interesting is similar. A serious movie becomes a fun movie. For example, in Ghostbuster, when they are talking, they will quarrel, but they will talk something fun. Also, the laser guns will have some mistake, but it makes the audiences cheerful. In Spy, the characters argue a lot, but it makes us laugh. Also, inadvertently action such as killing someone when the spy sneezes. But I like Spy more because the laughing points never stop, and sometimes I feel bored about Ghostbuster. Although these two movies which the funny form is same, but Spy is much better.

I enjoy every time I watch this movie, and the characters argue a lot in the movie. Sometimes they will say bad words. But in the quarrel, they will just make you laugh. But when an agent introduces the "weapons", this is what I like the most. Spy and Ghostbuster are similar, but I like Spy. You may think how they can make things become amusing. Because they include so many factors, it makes the audiences excited for this movies. You cannot miss this movie.
