Il tuo ex non muore mai

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 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.'

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.

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!

I didn't expect much from this movie, I decided to watch because of a couple funny gifs I saw on Tumblr. I haven't seen much of McKinnon's work but after watching TSWDM I would gladly watch everything she stars in. I love her style of humor - quick, raunchy at times, honest. Maybe shes "a bit much" to some, but I really enjoy her silliness and the chemistry she and Kunis share. Two beautiful, funny, smart and completely relatable best friends getting into secret spy shenanigans in Europe? Sign me tf up. I've watched it twice and I'll more than likely watch again. In conclusion, this film obviously isnt going to be everybody's cup of tea. But I personally laughed my a** off. To the low reviewers: watch without taking it so seriously and you might enjoy it too.
