What starts off as a James Bond Spoof eventually turns into a movie that tries to add credible spy-action, but somewhat fails in that endeavor. Just two hard to pull off both of those concepts together. Either be a comedy/parody or not. Its a shame really, because the cast was well chosen, and the early laughs were hearty. It wasn’t all bad, and even fairly entertaining – just disappointing because of the lost opportunity.
The film had a great cast. Jude Law did well as our spook. Melissa McCarthy did Ok with what was written for her. My picks of the fiom where Jason Statham as the A-hole spy, and Peter Serafinowicz as the Italian playboy spy
