Just when I was ready to give up on Melissa McCarthy for running her shtick into the ground, she surprises me this gem of a comedy. Melissa McCarthy stars as Susan Cooper, a single woman who works behind a desk for the CIA. When the identities of all active agents are compromised, she enters the field to track down an arms dealer looking to sell a nuclear bomb. Spy movies don't really rank high among my favorite genres (although Daniel Craig as Bond is definitely changing that), but this SPY's main selling point (among many) is that it knows how silly it is and just plays along. If one were to critique SPY on its plot, of course one would conclude that it's convoluted and nonsensical. However, the comedic writing and 
performances are all top-notch here, making considerations of plot almost irrelevant. My main issue with McCarthy before was her excessively profane, loud and obnoxious screen persona. Thankfully, she tones it down a lot here and goes for a more subtle approach. Her character does kind of become more outre as the film progresses, but it was organic to the central theme of a woman coming into her own in a male-dominated profession. In terms of exploring that, Rose Byrne (NEIGHBORS) plays very well opposite McCarthy as the arms dealer that Cooper is 
after. Even though they're on opposite sides of the law, they share a bond over being taking seriously as professionals in their respective fields, so to speak. There was even great comic work from non-comic actors like Jude Law and Jason Statham, who is essentially parodying his action star roles. It was over-the-top, but oh so funny. I also liked Alison Janney as Susan Cooper's CIA boss. Outside of the writing and acting, all of the technical bits were well-done, if unspectacular, and the action was well-choreographed. There were a few moments where the 
CGI didn't look so great, but the cheesy nature of the effects kind of fit with the overblown satirical comedy that film was going for. Finally, there was some pacing issues towards the end of the second act, and the beginning of the third. Maybe 5-10 minutes could have trimmed, but I was laughing so much I barely noticed. Overall, SPY is perhaps the second best comedy I've 
seen this year (behind KINGSMAN). It was able to take a comedian who I was beginning to tire of, and make her funny again. It also was just plain hilarious the whole way through, and definitely worth your time/money.
