I do hope there
will be a part two to this movie. I have to say, this is not a great movie, but
it is good enough. The chemistry between Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon was just
out of this world. The movie is funny, and this is the first time I’ve come to
appreciate Kate McKinnon’s style of comedy.
The Spy Who Dumped Me doesn’t try to be more than what it is—an action
comedy about two ladies (Audrey and Morgan) trying to fulfill the dying wish of
Audrey’s ex, who happens to be CIA.
These two ladies have their lives turned upside down, and before long, they’ve
committed murders, been involved in a car chase, and broken numerous
international laws.
Audrey (Kunis)
is dealing with a breakup from her boyfriend, Drew (Justin Theroux). She’s at
her birthday party, thrown by her best friend Morgan (McKinnon), who suggests
they burn all of Audrey’s ex’s stuff. Morgan then sends a text to Drew saying
his stuff will be burnt. This makes Drew show up at their place, where he
informs Audrey that he works for the CIA and that her life is in danger.
He tells her he cares for her and that when he realized his work could get her
killed, he decided to dump her to protect her. Their conversation is
interrupted by an attack on Audrey and Morgan’s apartment, and a man Morgan let
into the apartment shoots Drew.
Before dying, Drew asks Audrey to take a trophy to Vienna for him and give it
to a certain person at a restaurant if he doesn’t make it.
Morgan convinces
Audrey to follow through on Drew’s request. The duo then journeys to Vienna,
where they’re ambushed not just by the CIA but also by other bad people who
want the trophy.
Now, the two are on the run from everyone and have no clue who to trust.
This isn’t the
funniest movie I’ve seen this year, nor is it the most inventive spy movie out
there, but it was fun to watch.
The pair get captured, tortured, and find a way to joke their way out of
situations that go from bad to worse.
I just hope the movie pulls through at the box office and makes a profit
because worse movies than this have turned a profit.
I enjoyed watching this movie, and I know you will too when you get to see it.
