Possibly one of my favorite new comedies. The trailers totally misrepresented this as being gross-out humor where Melissa McCarthy is the butt of every fat joke (pun-like-thing intended) but it's actually a well-plotted little spy thriller that makes everyone's underestimation of McCarthy because of her appearance the actual joke. Miranda Hart is a great sidekick and Jude Law/Jason Statham's winking appearances as spies are used perfectly. Definitely on the re-watch list.
Shout out to Budapest, what what! I was very happy to see that I knew all of these locations and the big final fight actually occurs at Lake Balaton!
The Duna.
Heroes Square.
The Parliament.
Opera house.
Statham with hair. I repeat, Statham with hair.
Janney!! She plays a tough boss-lady. Amazing.
