The problem with this film is that both the star and director made it under the misapprehension that swearing a lot is funny by itself so have therefore seemingly dispensed with putting any effort in when it comes to actually constructing comedic scenes and delivering punchlines. Relying on famous faces saying "fuck" every five seconds loses any impact quite quickly and stops being funny soon after. That said, Jason Statham sends his hard man persona up quite nicely and the film picks up whenever his on screen but its little and far between.The film is also extremely violent for a comedy - with several minor characters suffering quite horrendous wounds and deaths in the "name of fun". Having a character suffer multiple gun shot wounds, stabbing a woman in the hand and having a man have his throat melt after drinking acid may be funny to director Paul Feig but he doesn't have the skill nor the competence to handle "Tom & Jerry" violence and misjudges the tone of the film completely. Is someone throwing up on a dead man really the height of comedy?Finally, their is an underlying tone of racism (offensive Italian stereotypes, racist language etc) throughout that arguably leaves a worst taste in the mouth than the aforementioned acid.

Real American women are not like this. I am a real American woman and I say we are fit, thin and pleasing. I know this actress is nota conservative. She cannot be (for one she is from Hollywood). Here in real America we do not watch movies like this, are serious and never ever become abominations. God bless America. Watch real American films. Spy is not a spy film.

I could t stop laughing. It's raunchy, sort of unpredictable in a predictable way, and has some of the best one-liners I've seen in decades. Watched like 6 times!

SpyMelissa's verbal sequences are hilarious and surprisingly so is Jason but all of this in a wafer thin script is hard to digest.
