Review of Spy (2015) by Nerdconsultant — 09 Jun 2015
Is Spy a laugh out loud comedy? No. Is it an enjoyable film? Yes. You will definitely get some chuckle out of this film. I would recommend at least renting the film when it comes on on DVD if you are at all curious.
The film had some excellent performances particularly from Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham. Paul Feig gives some excellent direction and writes the film pretty well despite the fact that there are parts that don’t fully hit the mark, but I would say it’s a lot better than other comedy films that have come out in recent memory.
It does, however, have the unfortunate timing of coming out between Kingsman and Spectre and I think it will get lost in the shuffle between them, and I would say I definitely preferred Kingsman as a film on almost every level and I would go back to that film again before this one.
With all that said though, this is a very enjoyable film and I had a great experience in going to see it at the cinema. I would probably recommend it, particularly for it’s action scenes which were better than I was expecting.
If you like action comedies, this is probably one to add to your list.
