SPY

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.

It doesn't start out that way. When we first meet McCarthy's Susan Cooper, she's in the (pigeon-and-rat-infested) basement of the CIA, advising super spy Bradley Fine (Jude Law) as he infiltrates a party attended by a Russian crime lord who's peddling a nuclear weapon. Fine is suave and fearless, but he couldn't do it without Susan, who's with him every step of the way. Turns out, Susan was trained to be a field operative herself, but Fine convinced her she was best utilized as his right hand woman. The fact that Susan is madly in love with Fine possibly factored into her decision to languish behind the scenes.

One of the ongoing jokes of the film is that Susan is given frumpy spy identities—not sleek women of mystery, but soccer moms and cat ladies.
Little by little, as she gets more emboldened, she takes charge of not just the operation, but her own appearance, trading in her dumpy sweaters and bad permed wigs for high-collared coats and sleek dark hair.


 what I liked about this movie was that it was funny from the very start despite the plot being very simple and yet it keeps you waiting for the next punch, as the movie continues  the mystery starts to unwind slowly  throughout the movie making it the funniest movies yet.
