The production filmed in the lavish interiors of the Four Season's Gresham Palace in Budapest, Hungary. The venue is widely regarded as one of Europe's most elegant hotels. Situated on the east bank of the Danube River, overlooking the Chain Bridge and Castle Hill on the Buda side, the Gresham Palace was built in 1906, and remains one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau/Secessionist buildings. The palace was damaged in 1944 when retreating Nazis blew up the Chain Bridge, and it stood in disrepair for decades. The Four Seasons took painstaking effort to restore the building, including the beautiful mosaics, using materials from Venice that comprised the originals. It opened as flagship luxury hotel in 2004. Reportedly, the film has been the first movie allowed to film inside, and the production took full advantage, showcasing the crystal ice chandelier and exquisite high-ceilinged lobby where Raina Boyanov (Rose Byrne) makes a grand entrance with Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and a bodyguard in tow. The palace's sidewalks were also used for filming, including a scene where Susan jumps on a moped and gives chase to a would-be assassin through the streets of Budapest. See more »

A nuclear weapon would give off a distinctive radioactive trail that can be tracked by ground-based and airborne platforms. That the CIA would not attempt to track the missing nuclear weapon using those methods, in addition to any undercover operatives, is never explained. See more »

I will be the first to say I'm a H-U-G-E fan of Melissa McCarthy; however, this movie was a STINKER! My entire family sat down to enjoy what we thought would be a really entertaining 'spy' flick but only made it to about 30 minutes in before we shut the TV off. This movie had the potential of being so much more but it was dumbed down with tasteless jokes and vulgarity. Folks, if you're thinking about renting this movie, don't waste your money. And Melissa, please...I beg you...do not agree to do another film of this ilk. You're better than this! I'm not sure what happened to you since 'Bridesmaids', but I'm beginning to lose faith! You've got another opportunity to show off your comic chops in 'Ghostbusters'. Please don't disappoint.
