User Review
This is the first movie that I have ever seen involving either Paul Feig or Melissa McCarthy. sadly I was unimpressed.
Since Feig is credited with writing and directing this nonsense. he must shoulder much of the blame. The script makes no sense at all, which might be less damaging in a slapstick piece of froth, like this is supposed to be, if the film was more entertaining.
The dialogue is risible. It sounds like something said by the barely literate twitter teenagers who must surely be the only people that could possibly be interested in watching this.
The direction is mediocre, workmanlike and unimaginative.
The casting leaves a lot to be desired. Apparently Feig has worked with McCarthy a lot, and her playing a lead in this just seems like lazy nepotism.
Jude Law is terrible as the CIA's top agent, his US accent is weak, and his embarrassment is topped ( no pun intended) by his terrible toupee.
saving graces are Jason Statham, spoofing his on screen persona brilliantly, but his potential is totally wasted.
Miranda Hart- an actress I have never particularly liked- is surprisingly good here, and brings an energy the film doesn't deserve.
