Audrey (Mila Kunis) and Morgan (Kate McKinnon), two thirty-year-old best friends in Los Angeles, are thrust unexpectedly into an international conspiracy when Audrey's ex-boyfriend shows up at their apartment with a team of deadly assassins on his trail. Surprising even themselves, the duo jump into action, on the run throughout Europe from assassins and a suspicious-but-charming British agent, as they hatch a plan to save the world.

Goofs

At Vienna station, when looking at the trains to the Czech Republic, there are numerous errors. In the case of the train to Prague, the destination is shown as 'Prague Bahnhof'. In German, it should be 'Prag Bahnhof'. Similarly, another destination is shown as 'Czech Budejovice' - this should be 'Ceske Budejovice' (in Czech). The 'train' to Usti nad Labem stops at 2 bus stations (Znojmo autobusove and Florenc, Prague) rather than at train stations. Litomerice horni (nadrazi) is a tiny station on a branch line and would never have a direct connection to Vienna. Moreover, all these trains supposedly leave within minutes of each other.

User Reviews

Enjoyable.

I expected fun and laughs and that's exactly what I got. Everyone played their parts alright, especially Kate McKinnon who is hilarious and Sam Heughan who I'm a big fan of.

As far as the plot goes, well it's a bit far-fetched but that's expected in comedies nowadays, these odd plots somehow work. It's nowhere near great, but it's a decent watch on an afternoon. I'm accustomed to watching these type of comedies so I judge them according to what they are, essentially. I just went along with it.
