Movie Reviews for the Spy Who Dumped Me
Enjoyable.
I expected fun and laughs and that's exactly what I got. Everyone played their parts alright, especially Kate McKinnon who is hilarious and Sam Heughan who I'm a large fan of.
Equally far as the plot goes, well it's a bit far-fetched but that's expected in comedies nowadays, these odd plots somehow piece of work. It's nowhere well-nigh great, but it's a decent sentry on an afternoon. I'm accustomed to watching these type of comedies and so I judge them according to what they are, essentially. I only went along with information technology.

Women Buddy One-act
What has worked for men (generally in the 80s and 90s) in the Buddy Cop picture show "genre" (it'due south non really a genre, but you grab my drift). Now some may feel this is a blast from the past and that either works in favor of the movie or confronting it. One thing is for sure: It is quite raunchy, as are many other comedies of the same ilk/blueprint.
The chemical science is at that place and while you may find some things annoying (or Kate's grapheme to be specific), I'd debate all works in favor of the picture show. And information technology is heighten reality, fifty-fifty if information technology sometimes grounds and stays in reality. Then it is a mix of both, a really practiced one. And some of the stuff is just hillarious. Comedy is alway in the eye of the beholder, so it may differ from your taste - it's still more than well washed

Very entertaining
Don't look deep charater studies, layered storylines, plot twists like evidently some of the reviewers do. Frankly I observe it absurd to rate a solid, entertaining, popcorn motion-picture show with one or 2 stars. Maybe yous don't like this genre. But rating a Bach concert with 1 star because you detest classical music or Bach doesn't make whatever sense. Within its genre I would have rated it with at least 7 or 8 IMDB stars. I gave it ix to remainder out some of the super negative reviews. There are plenty of chuckle moments some good laughs, good and even great action, a simple but constructive storyline, skilful acting, nice build up. Kate McKinnon gets better throughout the moving picture. I wonder if they actually shot the second role later than the first role, or if the script simply suited her better in the 2nd half. I was entertained throughout. And would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a lighthearted, action/comedy movie.

Just needed to know when to quit.
Warning: Spoilers
My wife was picking movies to watch and she asked me if this ane would be alright, and I enthusiastically said sure. So what I got for that sure was a movie that started to catch my attending and exist somewhat humorous, just then kept going to the point it is the aforementioned length as a James Bond film with but as many twists and turns and it becomes less funny every bit it continues to move frontward. Basically, it had an alright concept, but just continued to proceed likewise long making it less and less entertaining every bit the reason I was enjoying information technology was the two friends barely making it out of scrapes, not them suddenly becoming badass and upstaging actual spies with years and years of service.
The story has a adult female dumped by her fellow and as in the title he was a spy. Well, his stuff is withal at her and her roommates business firm and in that location is something of great importance in his stuff. She soon finds herself being hunted past a multitude of spies and CIA agents every bit they attempt to evade capture and deliver the parcel to the easily of someone in Vienna, Austria.
Mila Kunis and the person playing her best friend are good at offset as they do not seem to know what is going on and survival seems similar a long shot. Even so, after they go captured and tortured by the weird gymnast assassin the flick is all downhill to me every bit it begins running long and too many illogical twists every bit I am sure an agency would accept their agents well vetted and in all likelihood know if 1 of their agents is working for the other side. That and the girls all of a sudden know how to fight and disguise themselves and such and become almost like agents with no grooming really drained the comedy from this ane.
So, this motion-picture show had its moments equally it was at its funniest when the girls were running from the multitude of agents and such. The funniest part for me the function where they try to commandeer a car only to acquire it is a stick. The problem started occurring when the motion picture felt like information technology had gone on enough and and then information technology kept going, this is a comedy, to me super long comedies get less funny equally the edge begins to habiliment off and I constitute that the example with this motion-picture show. Trim about twenty minutes from it and finish it more than realistically and information technology might accept merited a higher score from me.

Disappointing
I was looking forward to this picture. Milas Kunis is a cute, dependable leading lady in comedies and Kate McKinnon has never failed to be very funny, even in blah movies like Rough Nighttime. The premise, in which Miss Kunis is the girlfriend of a Bond-similar superspy who... well, you get the idea, and Miss McKinnon is her all-time friend, and somehow they wind upward in Europe in the heart of spy capers, seemed like a pat only promising state of affairs.
Nevertheless, something went, if not wrong, and so not particularly correct, and director Susanna Fogel seems more interested in the actual workings of the plot and the beauty shots of European cities than in efforts at one-act, although Jane Curtain and Paul Reiser every bit Miss McKinnon'southward parents take good bits.

Funny, Relatable, Not To Be Taken Too Seriously
I didn't expect much from this picture show, I decided to watch considering of a couple funny gifs I saw on Tumblr. I haven't seen much of McKinnon's work merely afterwards watching TSWDM I would gladly picket everything she stars in. I dear her style of humor - quick, raunchy at times, honest. Maybe shes "a chip much" to some, but I really savour her silliness and the chemistry she and Kunis share. Two beautiful, funny, smart and completely relatable all-time friends getting into cloak-and-dagger spy shenanigans in Europe? Sign me tf upwardly. I've watched it twice and I'll more than likely watch again. In conclusion, this film obviously isnt going to be everybody'southward cup of tea. Merely I personally laughed my a** off. To the low reviewers: watch without taking it then seriously and you might enjoy it as well.

Loads of fun
Had a lot of fun with this ane. Turns out 2018 gave me 3 good comedies in all, with the other 2 besides being a somewhat genre-bending mix of fun (Game Night, Tag), but I'g gonna go ahead and say this was the best of the 3, boasting activeness scenes that rival any decent activeness flick.
Mila Kunis is perfectly bandage and more endearing than ever. Her chemistry with Kate McKinnon was also notably fun. As for the Russian villain establish in Ivanna Sakhno, wow... I couldn't decide if I found her to exist bonny or frightening. Mayhap a combination of both. Either way, she was terrific.
As for the guys, I've ever dug Justin Theroux as a skillful looking decent bloke. Simply damn... who the hell is this Sam Heughan, with his alpine handsome stature, faultless chiselled jaw, blue optics and perfect wavy blonde hair. If a straight guy like me tin can encounter the beauty in this Adonis, what must straight women exist thinking? Just to exist clear, I wish to expect like him, non kiss him.

The usual
The usual recycling of the female empowerment storyline with Kunis and McKinnon reliably playing the same roles they always do starts with a few good gags early on but gradually falls autonomously into a complete mess. McKinnon seems to improvise every bit much as she can to make up for the writers' diminishing interest in their own story which occasionally keeps the audition more invested than it should.
There is a tired attempt at the end to setup a sequel of sorts so anyone spending money to see this should know it might not be over when the credits ringlet.

Cheesy writing with lame humor simply still fun simply because of Kunis
Mila Kunis saved this moving-picture show as all-time every bit she could and was style more than funnier and entertaining (also not a comic) than comedian Kate McKinnon who was stale, abrasive and "a picayune too much". The writing and humor were lame but some fairly decent activeness scenes. Enjoyable if you're bored and have nothing else to watch. 6/10 from me.

A Hilarious Action Comedy Moving-picture show
Well this movie was a lot more than fun that I anticipated. First I idea that the one-act would exist just so so or only glimpses of them. Just apparently the flick was filled with then many hilarious moments. The comedic and rather absurd situations they were in and sometimes because of themselves were ever fun to lookout man. Sometimes the fun stuff likewise came from the conversation they had or the comments Morgan (Kate McKinnon) fabricated on Audrey (Mila Kunis) which was actually spot on. In that location were and so many hilarious scenes in the movie merely my most favorite ane was the chasing sequence in the roads of Vienna and likewise the library scene (which made my wife could non stop laughing). And most of the audience in our studio were actually enjoying themselves as we were laughing throughout the whole film.
The motion picture also had some unexpectedly skilful activeness sequence, especially the fight & motorcar chase scenes which I thought was done nicely and professionally. The movie was quite old school in the action part and did not use also much reckoner for their special effects. While the sound effects were pretty decent for such movie.
The main attraction for this movie was definitely the 2 pb stars Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon who had good chemistry & quite convincing as two best friends. While Mila'south graphic symbol Audrey was what you could look from her, but Kate I think truly excelled in her role. She looked actually natural as the person who does not seem to think ahead and just become with her eye.
This movie should not be compared to the serious spy movie like James Bond or the more than recent one like Mission: Impossible series. I actually felt that the pic had some similarities with another very funny 2015 action comedy movie titled Spy starring Melissa McCarthy. This flick may not accept the almost original story/plot merely it certainly gave me & my married woman a bunch of laughter, making us feeling very happy after leaving the theater.
With a duration of almost two hours, the moving picture did not experience besides long. In fact I call back it'southward simply overnice equally the story did non feel rushed to complete and we were given plenty of hilarious scenes with some nice action sequence. During the end credit scene, there were few funny scenes that you could enjoy but there was no such scene at all after information technology was complete.
So if y'all are looking merely pure fun without overthinking of the plot, and so this one would practise nicely. Just if you lot are looking for some serious spy stuff or adopt the full activeness movie, then ameliorate find some other movies to fill your time.

Sometimes the sweetest pleasure comes when you are non enjoying yourself
Warning: Spoilers
Audrey (Mila Kunis ) is celebrating her birthday with her all-time friend Morgan (Kate McKinnon ) and not her ex-swain Drew (Justin Theroux ) is a spy unbeknownst to her. Morgan is a "little too much" and makes friends with men very easily. Audrey is a trivial more than reserved. The two women get involved in spy shenanigans equally they travel to Europe where they are presently wanted for murder.
This is a one-act spy picture where are ii untrained spies don't "luck" into things like Bill Murray, but rather plan things quite well. Mila and Kate created great onscreen chemistry, just I kept imagining Melissa McCarthy in both roles and what a anarchism this film would have been had she played either one.

Only ignore the bad reviews. If y'all are wanting to enjoy one-act movies just requite this one a try what is information technology gonna exercise to yous?

This is definitely not a family flick just I do recommend watching it with someone to encounter the reaction because this pic had me and my friends laughing from beginning to end. Like I said just requite information technology a run a risk considering everyoneHas their own opinion on what's good and what's bad

Skillful Activeness/Funny Comedy
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "The Spy Who Dumped Me", starring Mila Kunis-The Bad Moms movies, Ted; Kate McKinnon-Crude Nighttime, Ted ii; Justin Theroux-Star Wars:The Last Jedi, Miami Vice_2006 and Sam Heughan-Outlander_tv, When the Starlight Ends. This is an action/one-act where the action is actually good and the comedy is really funny. Mila and Kate play all-time friends, hanging out together and playing video games when they are not working. Mila has simply got a pause-up text from her fellow, Justin. What she doesn't know is that Justin is a spy. All kinds of people are trying to impale him and the film opens with him doing his best Bail impression of shooting, fighting and being chased. The activity scenes are every bit skillful as tin can be expected in a regular spy movie. The hunt scenes, fight scenes, too as the gun battle scenes, are all upward to snuff. As far as the one-act goes, Kate has the best lines. Sam shows up, maxim he is with MI6 and trying to assist Justin come in. Of form, it gets to the point where Mila and Kate get mixed upwardly in all the spy stuff and then they get to where they can not trust anyone. There are lots of cameos: I think seeing Jane Curtin, Paul Reiser and Gillian Anderson, amongst others. At that place are some scenes as the end credits get-go simply nothing at the very terminate. It'a rated "R" for violence, linguistic communication and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 60 minutes & 56 minutes. I actually enjoyed information technology and would purchase it on Blu-Ray.

This motion-picture show has assurance
Warning: Spoilers
For one brief moment it was a raunchy one-act. And then it was a spy thriller. Then it was a buddy pic. So it became apparent that it wasn't funny, thrilling, suspenseful, or even interesting.
Amazingly lazy writing was the capstone of this cinematic turd. A turd wrapped in toilet paper. For lazy run across the following:
- Edward Snowdon merely happens to be bachelor and able to cleft a password
- Passports happen to be in glovebox of automobile
- Authorities are seemingly unable to locate 2 idiotic Americans in Austria who don't speak German
- international travel is nearly instantaneous and doesn't involve jet lag
- etc
Kate Mckinnon shows us the same one-dimensional (over the top) graphic symbol that dominates everything she does. Mila Kunis gives us a rehash of the same slightly dumb, but mostly adept hearted character that she does over and over again.
The best thing about the story is when they took what would normally be an inexcusable shortcut. Every time they did they probably managed to cut five to x minutes of garbage out of a ii 60 minutes dumpster burn.

Proficient light-hearted fun with some explosive car chases
A woman realises her ex-fellow is actually a spy and, forth with her best friend, go caught upwardly in an international espionage band.
This doesn't walk a straight path along either activity or one-act - you lot get a bit of both. Information technology is generally quite light-headed and beneficial but has some really fast paced, high octane action sequences (expect the odd burning and cervix-snapping).
I wouldn't say this is hilarious simply it is definitely entertaining. It does a proficient job of mixing moments of quite inspired wit with some other more than puerile stuff and the banter between the two leads is quite snappy, as is the exchanges between the actual spies.
The acting is great, every bit are the effects, production and camera work.
Story-wise it felt about fifteen minutes too long just that is slap-up for an action comedy (where normally I'grand reaching for my phone half an hour before the end).
Although this has activeness in it, this is a firstly a comedy, so don't wait the plot to be too grounded in reality - they are not remaking Bourne here.
To be honest I was put off by the amount of one-star reviews on IMDB; I assumed this was going to exist a two hour beating with the feminist bat. It honestly isn't. There are some man-jokes in there but they are well balanced, in good nature, and funny. I found the main characters easy to engage with and I was rooting for them at the stop.
Don't exist put off just by all the low reviews, its not the all-time picture ever, and won't exist everyone's cup of tea, simply I honestly don't retrieve information technology deserves as many one stars every bit it has.
At worst this is a solid action moving picture with a bit of daughter-talk.
At best this is a light comedy with great characters, lots of actions, and a sprinkling of romance. There should be something in here for everyone'due south chief stream needs.

Likewise long and also dumb!
I know it was a satire on spy movies but it was really over the top. Some funny jokes and a lot of tasteless ones. It should have been shorter. Must have been a record for "F" bombs. Wait and lookout it for free somewhere.

Groovy Concept, Dismal Execution
Alarm: Spoilers
OK, this is the trouble. There is a great concept... two girls who are not spies go involved in the middle of a spy caper. Like The Man Who Knew Too Little... without the good results, without the funny, and without the big stars. In other words, but LOUSY execution. Rule one in whatsoever good movie is... the plot has to be funny, and the moving-picture show has to give the audition a payoff. This is neither a good spy plot, a thumb drive with secrets on it, nor is it funny. At all. The chase seens have been effectually for 50 plus years.
Bad casting, actually awful writing, and the photography is not winning any awards either. One has to assume the screenwriter is in his twenties and is a big fan of action adventure. And cursing. A lot of unnecessary, bravado through the fourth wall, cursing.
To fix this, you demand a vivid screenwriter, top actors, a adept director, but right in that location that'southward enough to describe what'due south incorrect. Bad moving-picture show. If yous have the choice between watching your fingernails grow, or watching this motion picture, this movie might be your choice. But, if you take a couple bucks or a car that works, you might but want to go to the mall.

Terrible.
I consumed a lot of alcohol before viewing this catastrophe, at around the 39 min mark I really needed to switch this embarrassing mess off but felt too nauseous to reach the remote control to do so. Then unfortunately I had to leave it on until I passed out... Worst Day Ever.

Funny duo in Europe
Both Mila and Kate's talents are used well in this European trip spy one-act spoof. The car chase fights are funny and the violence is comical and original. Laugh out loud at times and unexpectedly so. It'south non like shooting fish in a barrel to be originally funny but they are here.

Kunis virtually saves this
Mila Kunis has the screen persona to pull of this comedy hazard. Although the premise sounds interesting, the plot is rather wearisome. Merely it doesn't matter as Kate McKinnon performs her comedy routines around Kunis and together they are fun to watch. While this movie is defective, Kunis will shine again in better movies.

Didn't even terminate watching it
The motion-picture show really started out pretty interesting. Since I was streaming it, nearly the mid signal it started stalling and so did the plot. Maybe more like predictable and unbelievable. Even though I saw nigh of the plot twists, one was clearly put in to make this picture show longer, merely why it wasn't lol to me. The ones that made it funny were barely on the screen. MFs parents and Gillian. So, 20 minutes prior to the ending I gave up trying to get link to work. Sadly I don't intendance how it ends.

finding dumb and dumber
Audrey (Mila Kunis) and Morgan (Kate McKinnon) are long-time all-time friends in L.A. Audrey is still recovering from getting dumped by beau Drew (Justin Theroux). Unbeknownst to her, he's an international superspy.
I hate to point out some of the stupid and illogical plot. Audrey is literally belongings the gun that killed two people and somehow the constabulary knew to accept away the bodily killer. Information technology's a small sample of the illogical writing. That's all immaterial to this movie since most of the issues center on the ii female leads. They are not that funny and not really appealing. McKinnon tries her best to exist wacky. Kunis' inherent meanness is non being overwritten by her cuteness anymore. She could still be funny if things go wrong for her. A flustered Kunis is funny. There is one scene where the female assassin is ordered to kill the ii dumb American girls and she'due south flummoxed by the plentiful number of idiot girls in her scope. That'south who they should be. They should exist Dumb and Dumber or Romy and Michele. McKinnon can do it only Kunis tin't. The pairing seems incorrect. They are not dumb enough to do what their characters are doing. They are too not impaired enough to exist funny. A actually simple instance is the closing credits actress. Normally, they're some of the funniest cuts but not in this case. Nigh of the comedy is landing flat except for the torture scene. That has a funny dorsum and forth with the female gymnast assassin. The pairing is off in this ane.

Terrible
Not fifty-fifty remotely good or funny. McKinnon was so bad and irritating that y'all could punch her in the face. Cypher was ok about the motion-picture show, the scenes were terrible, the story written by 9 years one-time and something resembling a spy story that was bad, actually bad.
The extra 1 is considering Kunis looks good in tight dress and cleavage

some funny jokes but horrible screenwriting
Warning: Spoilers
If you are looking for a series of SNL sketches, this movie tin can piece of work for you. However, for a motion picture the plotting was just terrible. Only 2 dimensional characters, so you lot don´t really want to engage with everyone here. They basically but included Sam Heughan to dig into his Outlander fame and bulldoze some femal attention to the film. Codeword "Highland"? Bandaged arm? Seriously??? Plus points are the excellent acting of Mila Kunis and Sam´due south worthy performance as an action based role player. And why did they cast a comedian like Hassan Minaj, if they did not requite im a unmarried funny line? Not one. The residue was Kate McKinnon doing her SNL thing, not more.
