Review of Spy (2015) by Filippo S — 27 Dec 2015
Ugh! A horrible showcase for Melissa McCarthy. The entire first half of the movie was just her jumping from one set piece to another, prattling on as if it were a one-woman show. It got better in the 2nd half when she just couldn't talk so much. Then her sense of humour and timing worked much better.
Jason Statham is good at comedy. Who knew?
I particularly hate it when producers get non-Italians to speak lousy Italian while pretending to be Italians based on bullshit stereotypes.
Best line of the movie goes to McCarthy: "Thank God your hair broke your fall!".
