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.
