Is Spy (2015) a farce? From the suave smarminess of spy Bradley Fine to the panicky insertion into the field of Fine’s handler, Susan Cooper, you betcha.
Is it any good? Depends on the viewer, I think. I wasn’t particularly amused by the fat jokes, implied or otherwise, but I did have to admire the twists and turns of a plot right out of 007. And the parodies of certain stereotypes were spot on.
Chances are you won’t remember this one a week later – I know I didn’t – but you may find some grins while you’re actually watching.
