Critics Consensus

The Spy Who Dumped Me isn't the funniest or most inventive spy comedy, but Kate McKinnon remains as compulsively watchable as ever.

Ben Sachs Chicago Reader [Kate McKinnon's] performance is a bunch of disconnected comic riffs in search of a character. Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Anna Leszkiewicz New Statesman Fans of action blockbusters might pass up what seems a light-hearted comedy - but they'd miss out. This film's action sequences are every inch as bloody and bonkers as those of their male-fronted counterparts. Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Oliver Jones Observer The Bourne Identity becomes somewhat essential late summer viewing for one reason and one reason alone: Kate McKinnon. Rated: 3/4 Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews In the end, The Spy Who Dumped Me is an amusing and thrilling comedy with frequent jokes that land and action sequences that soar beyond expectations. Rated: 3/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) You get wild action set pieces, funny verbal comedy, great costume design, and a trip through Europe. What a bargain! Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Not dark enough to be a dark comedy, not funny enough to be a full on comedy, not romantic enough to be a rom com and certainly not thrilling enough to give 007 a run for this money.

Ben W Oh that's Justin Theroux. Preamble- watched a Saturday morning, hyper house preparing to move, on fast forward as a sort of sweary, morning cartoon. Knives out 3 premier in UK was Oct 8, which was a Wednesday- this was following Sat 11th then. Where MK plays a police super. Is it true? No. What happens? An untrained person gets involved in espionage, and turns out to be brilliant at it; more that, than a comment on modern dating. Think 'the '69, dude' steps'!??! What do I think? Violence is too real, upsets comedy. The comedy's broad, ... Shakespearean... (not very funny). Make up your own mind. Bye! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Daniel B Lo más rescatable de “The Spy Who Dumped Me” es que no es aburrida. A pesar de ser consciente de que estás viendo un churro, no te la terminas pasando mal. Hay algunas escenas de acción, como la persecución en Austria, que están bien filmadas, pero todo lo demás, al menos a mí, no me terminó por enganchar. El humor me pareció muy simple, los personajes no son nada carismáticos, y el conflicto es uno que ya hemos visto cientos de veces: dos héroes improbables que, con las habilidades que aprenden en el camino, salvan al mundo. Pero en esta, no termina sintiéndose natural; la película no es lo suficientemente divertida para dejar de notar cada incongruencia. Como algo personal, nunca he sido fan de la comedia de Kate McKinnon. Su humor más "actualizado" a mí la verdad me resulta híper aburrido. Soy consciente de que hay cientos de personas que la amaron en esta película, pero a mí me pareció un personaje innecesariamente histriónico, que me terminó más aburriendo que dando risa. Esto, sumado al personaje de Mila Kunis, cuyo desarrollo se basa únicamente en "no terminar las cosas", hizo que este dúo se me hiciera súper desabrido. Esta es otra producción de Hollywood que intentó adoptar los refinados visuales europeos, pero solo pareció otra película gringa intentando copiar esta estética. Al final, esta cinta está bien. Sí, desde mi percepción falla tanto en ser una película de comedia como en ser una película de acción, pero tiene algo que sí te hace pasar un buen momento. Cada escena del personaje de Nadedja me encantó, y sí hay uno que otro destello que, al menos a mí, me hizo sacar una sonrisa. Es una película que sí se siente cara; hay locaciones visualmente muy lindas, como la del museo donde se desarrolla el clímax, y en cuanto a construcción narrativa sí es medianamente sólida. Solo que para mí, faltó que se volcara más tanto en la comedia como en la acción. Es una película que por momentos parece una buena película, pero pareciera que le da miedo ser más graciosa o sangrienta por el temor de ofender a alguien. Como cumplido o no, tiene todas las características de una película de "Humor" del 2023. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Barrie S Sorry, can’t give a proper review. So many f words within the first ten minutes and I gave up. And I don’t mean f for funny. Not for me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Rich X A really excellent movie. I’m really surprised that its rating isn’t higher. The movie is full of great laughable moments and the characters are a lot of fun. Good plot great locations - a definite favourite. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Christiane M Its a funny movie that isn't meant to be serious. Just funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review L S Even THE MOST cynical among us can argue, this is a massive underuseage of the demonstrable talents of both stars. Weak, almost a pathetic script makes this a dull affair all round. An utterly wasted opportunity. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
