Spy is a smart and uplifting film - one that's finally worthy of Melissa McCarthy's comedic genius. Go to Full Review
Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine 06/10/2016
3/4
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. Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey Flavorwire 05/28/2016
At its core, this action-packed, globe-trotting, gender-switched Bond spoof is about lookism. Go to Full Review

2/5
"Spy" feels like one of those movies that is funny the first time and lasts for that one dose, but won't be something you'll revisit and likely something you'll regret you really liked five or ten years down the road. Go to Full Review
Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 01/23/2023
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... Go to Full Review

Pat D Nov 30 The first requirement of a movie like this is to make me laugh and this worked pretty well on that front. There were lots of f-words and crude jokes but they were no too over the top, even for my wife. We'd just watched all 24 Bond movies so it was fun seeing a tubby woman replicating Bond's moves- crazy fast car chases but driving a motor scooter instead of an Aston Martin, rushing up stairs into obvious danger, escaping from impossible situations, going into Ritzy places as if she owned them. It even had a plot of sorts and a few surprises, so that was a bonus. Spy is to any Bond movie, as Galaxy Quest is to any Star Trek movie. If that makes sense to you, you'll enjoy Spy.
