Featured reviews
Don't expect deep charater studies, layered storylines, plot twists like apparently some of the reviewers do. Frankly I find it absurd to rate a solid, entertaining, popcorn movie with 1 or 2 stars. Maybe you don't like this genre. But rating a Bach concert with one star because you hate classical music or Bach doesn't make any sense. Within its genre I would have rated it with at least 7 or 8 IMDB stars. I gave it 9 to balance out some of the super negative reviews. There are plenty of chuckle moments some good laughs, good and even great action, a simple but effective storyline, good acting, nice build up. Kate McKinnon gets better throughout the movie. I wonder if they actually shot the second part later than the first part, or if the script just suited her better in the second half.
I was entertained throughout. And would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a lighthearted, action/comedy movie.
First half is great. Second half it gets way too confusing and plottwistery. And the finale takes way too long.
Fun film with laughs and twists. Enjoyed it and the actors complimented each other well.
What has worked for men (mostly in the 80s and 90s) in the Buddy Cop movie "genre" (it's not really a genre, but you catch my drift). Now some may feel this is a blast from the past and that either works in favor of the movie or against it. One thing is for sure: It is quite raunchy, as are many other comedies of the same ilk/blueprint.
The chemistry is there and while you may find some things annoying (or Kate's character to be specific), I'd argue all works in favor of the movie. And it is heighten reality, even if it sometimes grounds and stays in reality. So it is a mix of both, a really good one. And some of the stuff is just hillarious. Comedy is alway in the eye of the beholder, so it may differ from your taste - it's still more than well done

I didn't expect much from this movie, I decided to watch because of a couple funny gifs I saw on Tumblr. I haven't seen much of McKinnon's work but after watching TSWDM I would gladly watch everything she stars in. I love her style of humor - quick, raunchy at times, honest. Maybe shes "a bit much" to some, but I really enjoy her silliness and the chemistry she and Kunis share. Two beautiful, funny, smart and completely relatable best friends getting into secret spy shenanigans in Europe? Sign me tf up. I've watched it twice and I'll more than likely watch again.
In conclusion, this film obviously isnt going to be everybody's cup of tea. But I personally laughed my a** off. To the low reviewers: watch without taking it so seriously and you might enjoy it too.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt the beginning Morgan introduces a Ukrainian immigrant to Audrey. Mila Kunis, who plays Audrey, was born in Ukraine, but left the country with her family when she was 7. While filming in Budapest, she and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, took a trip to Chernivtsi, Kunis's hometown. It was the first time she had been back to the country of her birth.
- GoofsWhen the biker is flung off the car into the intersection, he stands briefly only to be struck by a bus. The bus clears the intersection and leaves the frame. As the actresses are running to the biker, the bus has returned to the middle of the intersection.
- Crazy creditsThe title appears on-screen after almost 10 minutes and there are no opening credits. The end credits go on for more than eleven minutes, with two sequences shown during them.
