Spy is a smart and uplifting film - one that's finally worthy of Melissa McCarthy's comedic genius.

Baltimore Magazine

Spy is many things: A clever spoof. A chance for Melissa McCarthy and her co-stars to strut their comedic chops. An international romp. It's also a pretty darn engaging spy film. It's about a woman leaning in and finding her inner Bond.

Rated: 3/4

Flavorwire

At its core, this action-packed, globe-trotting, gender-switched Bond spoof is about lookism.

Vadim Rizov

Filmmaker Magazine

By those very meager standards, Spy will just about do the job: it looks like someone’s in control, it’s not gratuitously offensive towards the marginalized, it has the guts to get violent and get an unexpected laugh via a jolt...

Keith & the Movies

If you want something fresh, intelligent, and outside of the modern norm good luck finding it here.

Rated: 1.5/5

Deep Focus Review

Even though the R-rated movie overstays its welcome by about a half-hour, preventing itself from becoming a sharp, breezy lark, it’s a James Bond parody worth a casual viewing.

Rated: 2.5/4

Arrigo M i loved it😸i mean imo it is a masterpiece. the best spy movie i've ever seen💖🔥 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Brad G One of the worst movies I have seen, I have no idea why it was ranked so highly in the list of action/comedies. Lots of cringy almost fat joke, sloppy writing, and a nearly inchoherent ending. Avoid. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Lucas J absoluteley hilarious and good action Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review 100th M This Garbage was recommended as the top Jason Statham movie?What is wrong with you people?The Movie was a snor fiasco.Absolute Garbage. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Altered Q What could possibly be going wrong in your life, for you to rate this movie so high. You people are abhorrently delusional. This movie makes the most minimumal effort in everything it does. It's almost as if it tries as hard as it can to NOT be funny. The first 30 minutes are slow, painful, hurtful even. This is the worst script in Hollywood in the past 20 years. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Elizabeth N I was howling with laughter in the first five minutes! I really needed this hilarity. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
