Melissa McCarthy brings the laughs in espionage caper Spy

Melissa McCarthy and director Paul Feig reteam for the comedy/action caper Spy out now in theaters. The actress and director who previously worked together on the comedies Bridesmaids in 2011 and The Heat in 2013 have partnered for their third comedy, and it’s so worth the wait.

McCarthy plays Susan Cooper, an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst behind many of the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner Bradley Fine (Jude Law), on whom she has a mad crush, falls off the grid and another top agent, Rick Ford (Jason Statham) is compromised, Cooper volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer and prevent a global disaster.

Laughter abounds in every scene with McCarthy playing off of a stellar cast including Rose Byrne (her co-star in Bridesmaids), Bobby Cannavale, Allison Janney as Cooper’s boss, and Miranda Hart as fellow CIA analyst Nancy, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as himself.

McCarthy is a delight and delightful to watch. With a sparkle in her eyes and her dimples at work, she is both loveable and badass as Susan Cooper as she takes on the bad guys and Byrnes’ character Rayna Boyanov.

Jason Statham is hilarious as a superspy who thwarts Cooper at every turn, and Cooper and Hart have a warm and great rapport as agents in the field.

Spy is downright hilarious with laughs, action and thrills at every turn. It’s sure to be one of the funniest movies this summer.
