Charmless, unfunny, and... What film were we talking about?

An entertaining way to kill 100 minutes, thanks to a nice sense of self-awareness from its cast and a winning pair in its combination of a giant star and pint-sized side-kick.

There are elements to like within the film, and charming moments will work for younger viewers... The dialogue will completely take anyone else out of the movie.

When I say you've seen every gag, I mean the closest thing to a fun moment is a slapstick bit that's literally stolen almost beat for beat from True Lies.

Though My Spy is surprisingly funny at points, the whole experience feels a bit undercooked.

A dumb action movie can be entertaining if there's plenty of action. My Spy falls very short of that expectation, as the movie's pace gets dragged down when the main character starts dating a single mom and starts acting like a domesticated stepfather.

This territory has been explored many times before, but "My Spy" is an inoffensive time waster.

I love Dave Bautista, but man this just went to the well for every single one of those clichés.

Both a little bit better than I expected and not quite good... Self-awareness doesn't make up for the fact that it's very predictable.

Dave Bautista gets outsmarted by a child in an action-comedy that doesn't reinvent the wheel but delivers some cracking gags that will leave you smiling.

The chemistry between the leads, and focus on a young girl dealing with social issues at school, bolsters what otherwise would be a pat comedy.

... the result is a movie that may distract uncritical younger viewers, but is not very good.

This family comedy featuring former WWE superstar Dave Bautista is the perfect bit of summer escapism -- light and breezy fun that exceeded my rather low expectations.

The studio's marketing campaign didn't do the film any favors, including a trailer filled with groan-worthy dad jokes and a series of pratfalls, but this gruff-lunkhead-meets-sassy-kid buddy comedy is better than you'd think.

Dave Bautista tries his best in My Spy - a poorly written action-comedy that simply doesn't have enough good humor up its sleeve or a good story to go along with it.
