Susan Cooper works as a deskbound CIA agent, she's the mouth piece for her field agent Bradley Fine, but when he is killed by a beautiful femme fatale Rayna Boyanov, she agrees to go undercover as Carol Jenkins and take her down, her initial Mission leads her to Paris, where she needs to take a bomb away from a Crime group including Boyanov. Ably assisted by colleague and friend Nancy, she has to show her metal.
This and Kingsman were movies that I was desperate to watch, I must say I loved them both, hopefully this will start a new wave of James Bond inspired comedies. Funny from start to finish, I absolutely loved it, it felt similar to Kingsman if I'm being honest,
The most random moment of all was seeing that Ukranian Eurovision song contest entry from a few years back, never thought I'd ever be seeing that again!
Melissa McCarthy has ridiculously good comic timing, she is naturally funny, and her genius is put to great use in this film, a truly hilarious woman, she manages to be funny and totally lovable too. Miranda Hart was an unexpected treat, very funny, adding a different slant to the humour as Nancy. Jason Statham was utterly brilliant, he always plays the same type of character, wonderful to see him sending himself up.
Just a fun movie you can watch and re-watch. 8/10

I really enjoyed it, well made and very funny.
Very Funny
Sometimes, when you can't get the right woman, a man can do the job. While people complained with logic that there were no women directors, and no feminist movies,Paul Feig went along directing hilarious feminist tracts like this one.
Melissa McCarthy has talent, but her vehicles have not always been great. However, this burlesque of spy movies had me laughing so much I never had the chance to recognize the recognize the inevitable idiotic end twist. That's a great popcorn movie effect. Jason Statham continues to impress me. He is a performer with almost no range, but place him right in his comfort zone and he can be a great comic actor.
Yes, A Change For The Better
Sexy Melissa is in this film and they swap out someone who couldn't cut it with her talent and beauty! Melissa as a sexy CIA seductress to the rescue.
I was a HUGE fan of Melissa McCarthy all along and even before this movie!
I am a bigger fan after seeing this. She is glorious (and sexy curvy). If you support the jokes and the speeches in the film, you'll see right away that she is not just a hot body beauty, but supremely talented.
McCarthy is probably made just for a role like this (other than adult films) Statham is nothing compared to her.
