![]() ![]() After a botched mission Fine is supposedly killed off and the CIA need someone to take his place, an unknown, hence they can't use Statham who plays another totally clichéd agent character we've all seen before. Yep, if you ever wanted to see what it would be like having Jude Law as Bond, well here you go. Basically the plot revolves around McCarthy playing Cooper, a desk jockey CIA analyst who helps the very suave, completely clichéd character of Fine played by Jude Law. OK, so this looks like an interes.oh my God! its another bloody Bond parody!! seriously!!! Yes the modern age feminist hipster, Paul Feig, takes a swing at the Bond genre, and oh what an original concept that is, gee I wonder what we'll see here.ugh! So naturally its an adult comedy with lashings of semi-serious action, CGI blood, swearing and a whole heap of Melissa McCarthy and other actresses. Boy, should i have gone with my instincts. Despite the trailer looking average, i gave the film a chance. More like ‘formulaic’ and full of **** Despite her tag as the female Kevin James, I gave McCarthy a chance. ![]() Do you remember intelligent, well written spy/agent comedies such as Pink Panther, Naked Gun or more recently Red and The Kingsman? Well you won’t find anything remotely similar here! It’s shocking Spy is being praised as ‘progressive’ and full of ‘belly laughs’. It's the go-to structure for lazy mainstream comedies today. I wasn't fooled by the 'razor sharp wit' that is actually random, dumb, irrelevant humour which will appeal to the lowest common denominator. Why is it two hours long? It’s ‘comedy’ consists of jaw dropping, bottom of the barrel material such as fart jokes, dick pics, racial stereotypes, racist abuse, fat woman shouting and fat woman falling over. I feel dirty just thinking i spent two hours watching this. Throw in an eye rolling cliche cameo from rapper 50 Cent, and you're all set for a complete waste of time. Thumbs up to Byrne and Statham playing characters out of their comfort zone but the tired, forced stupidity was overbearing. It’s written and directed by Paul Feig, the man who thinks he understands the Ghostbusters franchise so well he wants to reboot it with a female cast, because that’s the cool thing to do these days, right? Is there an agenda in Hollywood that is pushing Feig and McCarthy? Did i miss a meeting or a memo? Anyway, despite an impressive cast featuring Rose Byrne, Jude Law, Jason Statham, and Peter Serafinowicz, the film is the most mediocre garbage i’ve seen this year. 'Spy' is the first Melissa McCarthy film i’ve seen, and without doubt it will definitely be the last. Okay, i'm sorry, let's try and be professional. Melissa McCarthy stars in 'Roseanne Blart: Spy Cop', playing a desk-bound CIA analyst who volunteers to go undercover and find a deadly arms dealer.
