My Spy: The Eternal City

Honestly, what I enjoyed the most were the parts of the soundtrack that featured the La Cañada High School Chamber Singers. Their sound was impeccable and the 3 songs fit the (supposed) venue of the Vatican, although the recordings had obviously been made under indoor conditions with a professional sound set up, maybe in a recording studio.

The plot was essentially all the expected tropes, and the dialogue was boring. We watched the typical car crashes. Is that what they spend the budget on? Buying up the vehicles they need for the chase scenes? Oh, well. It kept my occupied while I ate my pizza.

I hadn't seen the first My Spy movie, wasn't sure what to expect - and was pleasantly surprised - a wholesome family entertainment movie, a few laughs, well acted.

Dave Bautista, Chloe Coleman and all supportng actors are great.

Plot is silly, it doesn't matter for a film like this - fun action, nice locations, soppy bits, fun bits, action bits.

It really isn't the sort of film to dissect and quibble - what is the point ?

It's better made than 70% of new movies, it entertains and is the perfect movie to sit back with popcorn or pizza and forget about your troubles for a bit.

After watching this I sought out the first film and that was a fun romp too.

The first movie ends with the characters having respect for each other and yet this one starts with Sophie being the overdone teen. Why do so many sequels have to reset any character development that happened in the prior movie? And why are so many characters in movies now one dimensional?

The first movie had charm, humor and likable characters. This one seems to be missing those. A lot of the performances feel like they are cold reading the lines rather than shooting the actual movie.

I'm curious how many of the positive reviews are from people that spent much of the movie looking at their phone. It may not be a bad 'background' movie.

We're back with CIA treetrunk JJ and his little girl Sophie. Stuff happens that means they have to go to Italy, and so the movie can happen they get mixed up in a dastardly plot. Bwah ha ha and all that.

This sequel hits all the beats you'd expect, with decent action and enough laughs to keep you watching. It's full of clichés, like a bad guy pausing before striking a fatal blow then being taken out by a third party, or the hero looking beaten but suddenly becoming invincible when the bad guy gets them angry.

The acting is OK, with the two leads slipping easily back into their characters aided by nice turns from Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal.

If you liked the first you'll like this.

The first movie was so fresh and funny!! The second however was not. It's kinda sad to see how horrible Sophie and JJ get along this time, like what the frick happened to thier relationship why is she such a horrible person in this one. The jokes are not as funny and the action isn't as cool. For me is was just very very hard to watch all of the fighting knowing how much love wes in the last one. Also the plot holes are so bad💀💀💀💀💀💀. Also omg it's kinda copying the movie spiderman far from home...school field trip goes wrong in Italy and then fighting/action movie stuff. The one bright spot is flula borg (I love that man-he is hilarious.)
