Premise: A parody of spy films.
Pros:
1. Hilarious all around and Melissa McCarthy has done a great job.
2. Jason Statham in his best work yet in a long, long time. (From the films I have seen, his previous good (at least a 4/5) work was Snatch with Brad Pitt in 2000 though I haven't seen Furious 7, and he only had a cameo in Fast and Furious 6.) Furthermore, he's not good here because of his usual capabilities but because he was ridiculously funny! You haven't seen him this funny in any other film.
Con:
1. The twist towards the end wasn't explained properly and this twist is the reason for a couple of events earlier in the film.
2. It is rated R, but it was unnecessarily violent and unnecessarily full of vulgarities.
3. Rose Byrne's character was not consistent and a bit hard to believe.
4/5 (no half scores). Good enough to pay to watch in the cinema.
