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

Watched it at least a handful of times and it never bores me. McCarthy and Statham are a riot together, but Byrne is my favorite.

Spy is complete surprise, that is a parody of films like James Bond. The film is really funny, and I missed some jokes becouse I was still laughing of the ones before. Violent, enterteining and with a great ensemble, Spy is a triumph of a movie.
