Spy

So I saw this today through See Film First and I have to say, it certainly exceeded my expectations.
I was thinking it would be along the lines of Johnny English but it isn't, it's so much better!
It's cleverer than I expected and it's probably the only film for a while that I haven't wanted to check the time or gotten restless.
Anyway, worth a watch!

I completely agree. I didn't have very high expectations at all - in fact I only went because my brother bought a preview ticket for me. However I found it to be hugely entertaining and utterly hilarious; it's been a long time since I've laughed so regularly during a film.

Definitely a thumbs up from me!

I saw a trailer with Jason Statham listing all his achievements as a spy, like having his left arm completely detached, and successfully passing for Barack Obama in front of the Senate or something. It looked like pretty dumb fun.

1st two posts piqued my interest...

then i saw jason statham and i swicthed off..

but seriously if hes taking the p out of himself then perhaps it is worth a watch...

Yea he's not playing it straight, he's probably the star actaully

I thought he was brilliant, takes the pee outta himself and all his one dimensional hard man, characters he plays.

Its a brilliant toilet humor, fat jokers, sexist, over the top comedy.

I lol'd (out loud) 30x Its so cliche but funny..

Peter Serafinowicz - stole it for me- so cheesy - so wrong - so good.

saw the trailer before mad max. i don't think a trailer has ever put me off a film more

After seeing the trailer I was going to avoid this like the plague, the main actor in it I haven't found funny at all in any of the films she's been in and was beginning to think I was the only person in the world who didn't find her funny as they keep bringing out more films with her in so somebody must be watching them!

With that said, I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and at least try it... Not sure I'll be making a trip to the cinema though.

Yea fair enough, the trailer didn't fill me with confidence but I was pleasantly surprised

Might be worth a watch, it's got Sookie in it.

I watched it with my free ticket, but it is actually quite good. Jason S's character would normally be the funny distraction character in a movie, but he was kinda of out shine by everyone, kind of unnecessary. nice to see he tries something else tho.
