Spy

Written and directed by Paul Feig of Bridesmaids fame, it's a Girls Gone Apatow on a spy movie.  Maxwell Smart would like Melissa McCarthy, but I think James Bond might give a nod of approval.   She plays Susan, a CIA agent on the back bench, called into the game as a pinch hitter.

Not everyone is happy.  Jason Statham steals the show in my opinion as a competitor agent wondering why Susan is going in.  Rose Byrne plays a good villian-iss and Jude Law, is.. well... Jude Law, the modern day Hugh Grant as the prototypical 007.  Good casting, fun dialogue. definitely R rated.   A good movie for a grown up wanting to feel like a kid.
