That is going to bomb.  The world isn't ready to have fat white women in movies.

I'll totally torrent it though.  The supporting cast looks great.

Have we really gone all these years with no one naming a big budget movie "Spy?"

Trailer looks like shit.

100% positive reviews. You can't argue against empirical evidence.

McCarthy's becoming the white Tyler Perry in terms of typecasting, and I refuse to believe this will be good when all is said and done. Trailers looked like a steaming pile of puss.

Melissa McCarthy gets the funniest, most versatile and sustained comic showcase of her movie career in this deliriously entertaining action-comedy.
Quote
McCarthy and Byrne's scenes together are cruelly hilarious, with the kind of no-holds-barred insult humor that makes you instinctively drop your jaw and cover your mouth.
Quote
There's a sense of witnessing a woman empowered and it's a hoot to see McCarthy given the space she deserves to spread her comic wings.
Quote
It's here you can see the feminist twist on this take-down of the 007 franchise: dudes make everything worse.
Quote
Melissa McCarthy has more than just a great star vehicle and a likely box office winner on her hands. She may have just "stumbled" into her first franchise.
Quote
Spy once again confirms that McCarthy and Feig are at the bleeding edge of big-screen comedy right now.
Quote
Melissa McCarthy is right up there with Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton
Quote
The laughs come flying every which way - conceptually, visually and through a smart and hilarious script that ambushes us with off the wall humour as it canvasses the sense of the ridiculous.
Quote
Melissa McCarthy comes into her own as a comic star in Spy, stepping out from recent supporting- and co-headlining roles to become the big screen A-lister she promised to be in 2011's Bridesmaids.

Her Susan Cooper is unquestionably equipped to handle the physical requirements of her task, no matter how many body-shaming insults Rayna levels at her, or how frequently Bradley playfully ‘negs’ her into keeping his assistant subservient.

This is what happens when people are afraid to call something bad because they'll be accused for fat-shaming.

I liked Bridesmaids, but then McCarthy wasn't the reason. She was funny in that movie sure, but her shitck got tired even thre. I get it, she's fat! She's loud! She's obnoxious! That only works one time. She's like the female Will Farrel. I loved Anchorman as well but I dislike him and can not stand any of his other "mainstream" comedies where he just plays the same obnoxious dumb white man.

Oh come on, I totally think they're right.
Melissa McCarthy is to comedy what Sigouney Weaver and Linda Hamilton is to comedy.

Weird. That’s not feminism, that’s fairly definitively misandry.

Won’t anyone think of the representation of competent males in spy entertainment?

I somehow end up watching maybe 3-4 SNL episodes a year and saw one that McCarthy hosted a few years back and she was pretty great. I assume she can be funny for 87 minutes if given the right script and the right part.
