Movie Reviews
Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "A big, crowd-pleasing hit....It's almost certain McCarthy will get a franchise out of this." - 05/29/2015 Empire
"[A] deliriously funny dismantling of the spy movie....SPY's female focus allows for a different and more knowing kind of parody, while also giving McCarthy her most nuanced role to date." - 06/01/2015 Total Film
"McCarthy’s mind just seems to race in a faster gear than her costars, allowing her to blast off arias of profane put-downs with such speed and demented originality that her mouth practically shoots sparks." -- Grade: B+ - 06/01/2015 Entertainment Weekly
"McCarthy, Statham, and Byrne all have killer moments -- the latter sketches her villain with such acute expressions of withering derision that she can get a laugh with as little as a gesture..." - 06/04/2015 A.V. Club
3 stars out of 4 -- "Melissa McCarthy has a license not just to kill the audience with laughter but also to slay us with her acting skills. And it’s a bust-a-gut thing of beauty to watch her give a wholly satisfying lead performance with a complete dramatic arc..." - 06/05/2015 Roger Ebert
"[A] comedy that soars on the strengths of writer-director Paul Feig’s wonderfully idiotic script and nimble camerawork, and the bountiful comedic talents of Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne and Jason Statham." - 06/04/2015 Chicago Sun-Times
"[W]hen a movie as adamantly breezy as SPY comes along it feels not just refreshing but like a rebuke. Movies can be fun too, it wants to remind audiences, without being oppressive, mean or totally mindless." - 06/04/2015 Los Angeles Times
"The busy, silly script allows Ms. McCarthy to be her own best sidekick, in effect an entire sketch-comedy troupe unto herself." - 06/04/2015 New York Times
