Critics Consensus

Simultaneously broad and progressive, Spy offers further proof that Melissa McCarthy and writer-director Paul Feig bring out the best in one another -- and delivers scores of belly laughs along the way.

Spy is a smart and uplifting film - one that's finally worthy of Melissa McCarthy's comedic genius.

Spy is many things: A clever spoof. A chance for Melissa McCarthy and her co-stars to strut their comedic chops. An international romp. It's also a pretty darn engaging spy film. It's about a woman leaning in and finding her inner Bond.

At its core, this action-packed, globe-trotting, gender-switched Bond spoof is about lookism.

"Spy" feels like one of those movies that is funny the first time and lasts for that one dose, but won't be something you'll revisit and likely something you'll regret you really liked five or ten years down the road.

By those very meager standards, Spy will just about do the job: it looks like someone’s in control, it’s not gratuitously offensive towards the marginalized, it has the guts to get violent and get an unexpected laugh via a jolt...

One of my favorite Hollywood comedies. Melissa is such a powerhouse in comedy and ensemble accompanies her is truly fantastic. Especially Bryne & Statham. Cast's chemistry is one of a kind.

Shockingly way better than I was expecting it to be. I'm already a McCarthy and Statham fan, but literally every scene in this movie is either funny or exciting to watch.

Is like Scream (without horror) and Austin Powers trilogy do a serious action movie with slapstick/spoof comedy and i laugh a lot and Jason Statham stills the spotlight from all the serious actions movies he done this is really best acting ever and Melissa does incredible comedic and action role.
