It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

It doesn't totally collapse by the end, which is nice. Still, it does leave you with the impression that it could have been much more. Actually, the middle is the worst. It's not very funny or fun, some gags are pretty much just grose, not even interesting. One of the main problems is that the main villain, Penelope Cruz, while superbly cast ("she looks pretty and sweet, but she's just the worst"), isn't properly introduced or followed through. She also doesn't do a very good job, but, given what she had to work with, one can't really blame her.On the missed opportunities, at the very least it could have had more fun on the expense of the terrible "Fast&Furious" franchise. Ditto for "Harry Potter". What they did barely scratched the surface of what one could (should?) do. While poking fun on James Bond is nothing new, still, they could have done more on that front, too. One impersonation of Sean Connery's accent isn't enough.Story is significantly better than other Sasha Baron Cohen comedies, but, still, way too simplistic and naïve to be anything more than a framing device for the gags.There quite a few good jokes and gags, there's a good cameo by Annabelle Wallis, so, the whole thing is watchable, if you like Sasha Baron Cohen comedies. Otherwise, it's best you find some other spy-spoof comedy.

Since it's a comedy movie, it's undoubtedly a funny and enjoyable movie. But there are some nasty and tasteless scenes. I rated this movie 4/10 because those nasty scenes exceed the enjoyable parts.

I wanted to like this movie more than it actually turned out I did. Not by much, mind you, it scarcely looked like Oscar material to start with. But a couple of the jokes went past the point of humorous implications that made me laugh to the point of crass displays that made me cringe. Despite this, however, I found myself laughing heartily more often than not, particularly at the shock/slapstick gags which proliferate throughout the movie. I wasn't quite laughing to the point of tears, but I did become self conscious of the neighbors on account of how much noise I made on more than one occasion. I was surprised to see some of the celebrity clout cast in this comedy, but not unpleasantly so. Mark Strong shines, in particular, when you think of how many "better" scripts were likely on his radar when he chose to do this. He never seems to be phoning it in, even though this is a movie where he could easily get away with it. Cohen, the master of ethnic ambiguity, is his usual chameleon-goofball, this time as a football hooligan, to hilarious effect. This comes recommended for the not-easily-offended, but it wasn't one you need to see on the big screen.
