*In which the Mister and I check out SPY (2015), which is still streaming on Max but also to buy/rent from Prime Video. From writer/director Paul Feig, comes the story of timid CIA analyst Susan Cooper (an incandescent Melissa McCarthy) who is thrown into undercover work after the murder of Agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law), whom Susan, quietly and secretly loved. After convincing Agent Crocker (Allison Janney), that she is the perfect person to go on this assignment since the terrorists won’t recognize her, Susan begins a hilarious international adventure to prevent arms dealers Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne) and Sergio De Luca (Bobby Cannavale) from selling a nuclear bomb. The film also includes hilarious performances from Miranda Hart (Nancy), Jason Statham (Ford) and rapper, 50 Cents, as himself. The film is a MUST WATCH and has a run time of 2 h and is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
