some people think they're above melissa mccarthy/paul feig comedies. imagine hating fun and laughter
Jason Statham is so good in SPY he should have won an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize.
So you mean to tell me spy isnt getting a sequel.
But the tall girl is? Whatever hollywood is smoking must be some cheap shit. They need to get a new dealer at this point.🤨
This movie is probs one of my fav movies of all time. I watch it twice a year religiously. Everything about it is perfect. The cast is perfect and absolutely hawt. The chemistry between the actors and actresses is absolutely outstanding and nail it. They make it look so believable. It's crazy.
Jason statham is probs the biggest surprise about this film. He truly showed VERSATILITY that he can be a clown if he wants to. And I think he should do more films outside of the action genre. He usually tends to be super one note. His chemistry with melissa is outstanding.
Melissa too delivers her best performance yet. Showing us she can also be a badass.
Jude law…
I once used defibrillators on myself. I put shards of glass in my fuckin eye. I've jumped from a high-rise building using only a raincoat as a parachute and broke both legs upon landing - I still had to pretend I was in a fuckin Cirque du Soleil show. I've swallowed enough microchips and shit them back out again to make a computer. This arm has been ripped off completely and re-attached with this fuckin arm. During the threat of an assassination attempt, I appeared convincingly in front of congress as Barack Obama. I watched the woman I love get tossed from a plane and hit by another plane mid-air. I drove a car off a freeway on top of a train while it was on fire. Not the car, I was on fire.
From what I've seen from Melissa McCarthy she should ONLY work with Paul Feig from this point on. I've liked her in Bridesmaids, The Heat, and now Spy. However, I have disliked her in most of the other films I've seen her in. For me Spy is McCarthy's best performance to date.
Spy is a hilarious, action-packed good time! Going in I was not expecting much action at all in this film; but there's actually quite a bit of it and it's very well done. The cast is pretty fantastic. I found McCarthy to be very funny and enjoyable. Jason Statham plays a really great moron. His performance is almost a self parody of himself as an actor. Rose Byrne....I…
99.9% of the time, i hate melissa mccarthy and her "i'm a fat, loud-mouthed bitch" shtick, but this is definitely the best comedy she has ever done — that typical formula she mainly does is mostly sidelined for the first hour fifteen of this movie and she's actually good playing a desk analyst who is learning to become a real agent
i honestly don't know why jason statham doesn't do more action comedies like this because holy fuck he's so funny, he's playing a super spy who is a little too crazy and confident in himself — i was disappointed when he dropped out of the new kevin hart action-comedy the man from toronto because i was expecting more hilarity like i saw in this
overall, there are some huge laughs here, and some decent action and violence, this is lots of fun
i've spent the last 15 minutes trying to figure out a nicer way of saying "i want jason statham inside of me" so i could put it as my review but i couldn't, so,
Rose Byrne is the greatest thing to happen to comedy since the invention of the microphone. To that end, perhaps the highest compliment that can be paid to Paul Feig’s frequently hilarious Spy, in which the Neighbors star plays a supporting part as a villainous Bulgarian arms dealer named Rayna Boyanov, is that Byrne is barely the best thing in it.
once I asked someone for a Tylenol and they gave me a Tylenol PM, I can only imagine what their intentions were
jason stathams career has evolved to the point where it's virtually impossible to tell his serious roles apart from his comedic ones
Is it better than Mad Max: Fury Road?
Haha... Hell, no.
Is Melissa McCarthy funny in this?
She's okay, but if you hate McCarthy, Spy won't change your mind about her.
What about Rose Byrne?
Byrne is hilarious, as always.
And Jason Statham?
Fuck, yeah. He steals the show. Jason Statham as a bumbling idiot? Genius.
Is it quotable?
Plenty of great one-liners here (most courtesy of Mr. Statham): "Thundercunt." "Here's what we do: I go into the face-off machine, get a whole new face." "Do you have quarters, 'cause it costs 50 cents." "I almost put it up on YouTube!" "I once used defibrillators on myself." "I've jumped from a high-rise building using only a…
- The sneeze gag is such a good way to open this
- Her office has bats and rats and mine is still somehow shittier than this
- The Bond style opening credits and that awesome song
- I am so grateful someone finally remembered how funny Jason Statham is and cast him in another comedy. He steals the show and the ability to make fun of oneself always makes a guy hotter
- The way Law skillfully walks the line between being a clueless and arrogant jock and a nice guy
- Dude, that is a TURBO pink eye
- I love Rose Byrne's ridiculous hair, outfits and heels here
- "I almost put it up on YouTube"
-…
is it weird that I have the biggest crush on Melissa McCarthy for these movies existing?
It's was actually pretty decent. I was laughing throughout, which is always a good sign for a comedy. I loved the plot and the running gags, it was just a good funny movie to watch with friends. Definitely something I wouldn't mind watching again.
I forgot how much fun this film is. Very funny spoof of the spy genre. Statham is very comedic here and the jokes work. I’ve also been a big fan of Rose Byrne and Morena Baccarin is always great! Fun film!
Never fails to make me laugh a lot. Still my pick for the best Hollywood comedy of at least the last 10 years.
I watched the unrated version for the first time and it’s not an improvement in any way. Seems to have mostly added just 10 minutes of action scenes. Stick with the theatrical cut.
I hate how low the average ratings for these great modern comedies are. Popstar at only 3,5. Fucking 22 Jump Street at only 3,3. (Yeah I know comedy is subjective but that doesn't make it any less outrageous.) And while Spy isn't as great as the previous 2 masterpieces, it's still too hilarious for a mere 3,2 rating. Is there something wrong with people's tastes?
Spy is hilarious. Sure the first half is "only" pretty good and very fun, but my god is the second half great. Just constant hilarity. McCarthy is great as she always is when given good material to work with, but she especially shines when sharing scenes with the even more hilarious supporting cast, particularily Statham,…
This movies a lot of fun and is very funny, there was no other goal with this movie other than to be funny and it certainly was, it was just a great time from start to finish. Needed something good after Year One ruined my night and this promptly fixed that. There are plenty of valid criticisms you could through at it from its one too many plot lines to its bad green screen to it dragging near the end but really they don’t take away from the movie that much at all because it’s not trying to be this super serious movie it’s just meant to be laughed at and it does that in the best way possible. It’s…
me circa january 2021: spy (2015) is so bad .....
me march 6th 2021: im miserable therefore i will watch spy (2015)
Melissa McCarthy can be in any movie idc
love when she plays this type of role over the usual "crazy" person she often plays in The Heat, Identity Thief, etc. She's a terrific actress and love when she has a much more grounded character to propel from.
Jason Statham is utterly hilarious and nearly every line out of his mouth is flawless. Love him.
Knows what it is and isn't terribly creative but the cast and the punchlines are solid
"I watched the woman I love get tossed from a plane and hit by another plane mid-air. I drove a car off a freeway on top of a train while it was on fire. Not the car, *I* was on fire."
Edit: Connor is mad I didn't mention rose byrne who is perfect in every way and I love her so much she never does no wrong and her character is hilarious
