Spy

If James Bond, and Chris Farley had a baby you would get SPY!  Sophisticated, intelligent, clumsy and extremely lucky being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Don't let the heavy frame fool ya, McCarthy rocks the shit in this movie!  I didn't expect much from this as her last few movies have been pretty big throw away's.  She has a good shtick, but they all begin to play out the same.  Spy was just the opposite!  This movie had a great funny story line that had a number of hilarious scenes.  McCarthy wasn't the only comic relief in this movie, she was surrounded by the usual tough guys and stuck ups making huge fun of themselves to bring the comic level up another notch.  You know the story, CIA basement dweller and IT nerd gets put out in the field to solve the case of a Nuke being sold.  She has to observe and report but ends up infiltrating the bad guys out of spite.  I have to say that Jason Statham's character was the best, he has literally been killed 87 times as a spy and goes rogue exposing himself as the idiot he is.  Good laugh and light hearted movie that restores my faith in McCarthy!

FYI:  Director Paul Feig said he made this movie because he knew no one would let him direct a real James Bond movie.
