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.

Rating: 8/10
Spy is a brilliant, witty, and outrageously funny masterpiece of the genre that's a modern comedy classic. Writer-director Paul Feig delivers a pitch-perfect film that's both a thrilling espionage adventure and a hilarious parody, powered by a phenomenal ensemble cast.
Highlights
- Masterful Screenplay: The screenplay is sharp, clever, and consistently hilarious, sending up spy genre tropes while telling an engaging story.
- Comedic Dream Team: The cast, including Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, and Jason Statham, delivers fantastic performances, with Statham's comedic turn as Rick Ford being particularly memorable.
- Balanced Direction: Paul Feig's direction expertly balances laugh-out-loud comedy with well-choreographed action sequences.
Criticisms
- Standard Underlying Plot: The underlying spy plot is fairly standard, but this serves the comedy perfectly and is an intentional part of the spoof.
Verdict
Spy is a spectacular and hilarious triumph that's a must-see for any fan of comedy. It's a perfect showcase for Melissa McCarthy's talents and features a legendary turn from Jason Statham.
