Trivia

This film's writer-director Paul Feig has said of this movie: "I'm a big fan of spy movies, and I wanted to create a broad action comedy in that genre. The comedy comes from the characters. It's not a spoof or satire. The danger and action are genuine. We wanted it to have the tone of a spy film, but still be as funny as we could make it. I also wanted to create a relatable story in which we could all wonder, 'If I was recruited as a spy and sent on a mission, how might I react? Melissa McCarthy is perfect for the role because, despite being extraordinarily talented, she can still play the 'every person' and elicit a profound sense of empathy and support".

Goofs

To let Bradley Fine escape in a boat, a drone blows up the jetty - but the blast wave which sends the bad guys flying back sends all the water straight upwards.

Alternate Versions

The Philippine theatrical and DVD versions have the sequence where Susan and the CIA find out who Renaldo is edited, with no hint of them seeing the penis images. The cable version in that territory retains the shots of them reacting upon seeing the images, but the images themselves remain unseen.

Finally I Can Laugh Until My Stomach Hurts

HUAHAHAHA! This movie is really really really funny!!! Seriously. Got a lot of LOLs while watching this movie. Exactly in almost every scene. WOW. It's been so long I never laugh till my stomach hurts. This movie is so much better than The Heat. All the characters here are funny, even the supporting characters. I like seeing the chemistry between Melissa McCharty and Rose Byrne. I hope there will be Spy 2.

Then I checked the review here (the rating itself is good, anyway). Wow! I can't believe there are so many people giving negative review about this movie that I have to think maybe those are reviews from the same person who hate this movie or anything related to this movie. Come on! All just negative reviews until page 5??? What's so dragging about this movie? Okay, maybe we just have a different taste of comedy. Whatever. Case closed. But I just love this movie very very much. Once again, I hope there will be Spy 2 soon.
