My Spy

This is a comedy, with some romance thrown in, surrounding a 50-ish man who has special ops experience and is assigned to monitor a family to see if the wanted ex-husband will show up. His nemesis becomes the smart 9-yr-old daughter that figures out ways to get ahead of them all. The "romance" isn't with the young girl, as in "The Professional", it is with the girl's mother.

Rough, huge, and capable Dave Bautista, in real life a WWE star before he became an actor, is the former special ops man JJ. The young girl is Chloe Coleman as Sophie and their chemistry works very well.

Although it was set in Chicago almost all of it was filmed in Canada. I found it on Amazon streaming movies, it is a very nicely entertaining movie. Many of the professional reviews are too harsh.

Pleasantly surprised by how smooth and entertaining My Spy is! Originally wanted to see in the theater glad it's available on Amazon prime. Very funny, delightful throughout, and well paced; I'd definitely watch again! Dave Beautisa is quite cool I think it's awesome he's been trending in the last few years or so. Cool how cute it is in many bits and has a glow with the cinematography.

Ok, first of all you shouldn't have to high expectations when going into this movie, because if you do, you will probably get dissapointed...

But let's be real. If you only need a fun and simple movie, without a twistet story you need to stay focused on, then it is a fun little movie where you can just turn your brain of and enjoy it.

The story is fairly simple, sometimes even predictable, there aren't any big moments you will still remember in a few years, there is no 'real espionage action" which you might hope for and of course you could have done more with it. And I must be honest. I myself expected something a bit different from this movie in the beginning and by the trailers. But I like what it is. I can enjoy the charackters and their interactions, I can laugh at a lot of the jokes, and I can simply sit here and enjoy the simple story, without the need to figure out what is happening and I think this is something you could need on a bad day.

So If you want a fun and little movie for your evening after a hard day or for you and your Family, this movie might be worth a Shot.

Another wrestler on the big screen playing the typecast action hero. This film plays all the cliches and stays on safe ground to keep the kids watching, and they will. We've seen it all before, but it's watchable with some funny moments, plenty of action, but the show stealer with the best lines , for me anyway is his less than glamorous partner. Not an Oscar winner, but very watchable for what it is.

This is a standard feel good film and it's not hard to work out how is going to go and how it's going to end, but that doesn't really detract from the enjoyment.

The was not as much action as I expected but there was more depth and better acting than I expected as well.

All in all this isnt a high brow, complicated, Oscar winning movie but it is a decent feel good film that works for adults and kids.
