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

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.

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...

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

It definitely is one of the best comedy movies made in the last decade. Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig bring the best out of each other. Most of the jokes were being written in the spot and that just works.

I gave this movie two stars because there ARE worse movies. But those movies are pretty bad. This one is just dumb, and it's been made before, repeatedly.

Spy is Melissa McCarthy's ultimate comedy action adventure that's has you along for the ride laughing til the very end! Entertaining as hell and worth seeing for the locations throughout the movie! Jason Statham, Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Alison Janney and director Paul Feig deliver an action classic!

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.
