L'espion qui m'a larguée

Lots of cheesy, silly stuff. My mom and I were keeled over laughing quite a few times. I don't know what all the people who left bad reviews were hoping for?? These kinds of movies are supposed to be cheesy, go in expecting that and you'll have a good time!

Don't expect deep charater studies, layered storylines, plot twists like apparently some of the reviewers do. Frankly I find it absurd to rate a solid, entertaining, popcorn movie with 1 or 2 stars. Maybe you don't like this genre. But rating a Bach concert with one star because you hate classical music or Bach doesn't make any sense. Within its genre I would have rated it with at least 7 or 8 IMDB stars. I gave it 9 to balance out some of the super negative reviews. There are plenty of chuckle moments some good laughs, good and even great action, a simple but effective storyline, good acting, nice build up. Kate McKinnon gets better throughout the movie. I wonder if they actually shot the second part later than the first part, or if the script just suited her better in the second half. I was entertained throughout. And would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a lighthearted, action/comedy movie.

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

I see that some mean spirited reviewers saying worst movie 2018/ever. Geez you guys need to lighten up. Not an Oscar contender for sure, but after reading reviews on IMDb I was expecting the worst movie ever, and I had to make myself watch it. I mean how bad can it be, I think to myself. I was in the mood for a laugh and some action. This movie surprisingly delivered both for me. Sure a very small number of jokes fell flat, but not many. It took me a little while to recognise Sam Heughan, (Jamie from Outlander, bestill my beating heart). Great action scenes. Justin Theroux, he's always a cool dude, the two girls, funny, the assassin chick, funny, the secret agent partner, funny, even Gillian Anderson made me laugh. Long story short, just a fun action comedy, that doesn't require deep thought or the need to overanalyse. There were much worse movies released last year like, Fifty Shades Grey, Mama Mia - here we go again, or a very unpleasant tale called Caniba, (Japanese I think). So don't be put off be the unwarranted 'worst movie......' Like I almost was.

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.
