The
Spy Who Dumped Me
Starring:
Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon
Rated
R
In
this comedy, two best friends are off on a life and death adventure
as one of them discovers her ex boyfriend was a spy.
“The
Spy Who Dumped Me” is a funnier-than-expected comedy romp. The
film's basic plot follows 2 women trying follow some rather simple
instructions but as they discover, the spy game is not an easy one
and they are on the run never knowing who the good guys and bad guys
are.
The
plot of the film is surprisingly similar to Arthur Hiller's 1987
comedy “Outrageous Fortune,” starring Bette Midler and Shelly
Long.
In any case Kate McKinnon steals the show with her slightly over-the-top performance as the aggressively protective Morgan. Although, Mila Kunis is sporadically funny throughout the film, she is out gunned by McKinnon's quirky portrayal.
