Nine-year-old Sophie catches JJ, a hardened CIA operative, spying on her family during a routine surveillance operation. In exchange for not blowing his cover, JJ begrudgingly agrees to show the precocious girl how to be a spy. What at first seems like an easy task soon turns into a battle of wits as Sophie proves you don't need much experience to outsmart a seasoned agent.

Critics Consensus

My Spy plugs Dave Bautista into the "charismatic action star meets cute kid" formula, with generally painless albeit decidedly mediocre results.

Angie Han

FilmWeek (LAist)

Both a little bit better than I expected and not quite good... Self-awareness doesn't make up for the fact that it's very predictable.

Roxana Hadadi

Chesapeake Family Magazine

The movie's humor is broad and its twists are obvious, so much so that even a couple of enjoyable performances can't really elevate My Spy into anything unique.

Rated: 2.5/5

The holes in this forgettable, borderline creepy film are as big as the canyon in Naperville.

Rated: 2/4

MSB Reviews

The reason I'm not giving this one a positive grade is due to the lack of closure given to a significant issue regarding Chloe Coleman's character arc, which sends the wrong message to everyone (kids and parents) going through the same problem.

Rated: C+

Ready Steady Cut

My Spy rides the coattails of its likable lead for sketch-like comedy that lacks any proper depth or complexity, but that’s certainly what may be needed right now.

Rated: 3/5

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Becoming a victim of sextortion was one of the darkest moments of my life. I felt like everything I had worked for and my entire future were at risk. Out of desperation, I reached out for help ,and to my surprise, Agent Lopez responded almost immediately. she was quick to take control of the situation, which gave me a sense of relief I hadn’t felt in a while, the blackmailers tried to reach out again, and all the anxiety came flooding back. I contacted her once more, and the way she handled everything made it worth it. She was thorough, discreet, and incredibly effective, thanks to her expertise and support, I feel safe, secure, and confident about moving forward with my life. Engage her services if you need similar help What/s/App at +{44 736-644-5035}.?/
