Mi ex es un espía

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 big fan of.

As far as the plot goes, well it's a bit far-fetched but that's expected in comedies nowadays, these odd plots somehow work. It's nowhere near great, but it's a decent watch on an afternoon. I'm accustomed to watching these type of comedies so I judge them according to what they are, essentially. I just went along with it.

Had a lot of fun with this one. Turns out 2018 gave me 3 good comedies in all, with the other 2 also being a somewhat genre-bending mix of fun (Game Night, Tag), but I'm gonna go ahead and say this was the best of the 3, boasting action scenes that rival any decent action flick.

Mila Kunis is perfectly cast and more endearing than ever. Her chemistry with Kate McKinnon was also notably fun. As for the Russian villain found in Ivanna Sakhno, wow... I couldn't decide if I found her to be attractive or frightening. Maybe a combination of both. Either way, she was terrific.

As for the guys, I've always dug Justin Theroux as a good looking decent bloke. But damn... who the hell is this Sam Heughan, with his tall handsome stature, faultless chiselled jaw, blue eyes and perfect wavy blonde hair. If a straight guy like me can see the beauty in this Adonis, what must straight women be thinking? Just to be clear, I wish to look like him, not kiss him.

I like Mila Kunis, and find her performances generally entertaining. This film was no exception. There was plenty of over-the-top action, but I found it lacking in the comedy department (a few chuckles, but nothing more). My main criticism is that it dragged on too long, and I finally turned it off with about 20 minutes left, not caring how everything finally resolved. It needed to be funnier for me to recommend it, but as it stands, if someone asked me if it was worth the time, I'd tell them 'no.'

What has worked for men (mostly in the 80s and 90s) in the Buddy Cop movie "genre" (it's not really a genre, but you catch my drift). Now some may feel this is a blast from the past and that either works in favor of the movie or against it. One thing is for sure: It is quite raunchy, as are many other comedies of the same ilk/blueprint.

The chemistry is there and while you may find some things annoying (or Kate's character to be specific), I'd argue all works in favor of the movie. And it is heighten reality, even if it sometimes grounds and stays in reality. So it is a mix of both, a really good 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 done

I wasn't expecting much from this, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Not usually my type of film, but it kept me intrigued until the end. Yes, it was well worth watching! I think Sam Heughan would be a damn good James Bond
