I’m not a big fan of Melissa McCarthy. I’ve never watched Gilmore
Girls or Mike & Molly, but I did see her in The Heat with Sandra Bullock
and in Identity Thief with Jason Bateman. I wasn’t that impressed. Tonight, my
opinion of Melissa McCarthy changed, and for the better.
My daughter and I went to see her new film, Spy, starring Jude Law, Jessica Chaffin,
Rose Byrne and Jason Statham. The film, directed by Paul Feig, played out just
like a real James Bond film with plenty of intrigue, assassinations and explosions
to make everyone happy.
Maybe, it was the director, or maybe, Melissa had
found her niche in films, but whatever it was; I truly enjoyed her performance in this film. She
wasn’t so over the top with her cursing or rudeness that can sometimes be
overwhelming. She was just perfect with her one-line zingers and, the interaction between
her and Jason Statham was one of the highlights of the film.
My daughter and I laughed so hard, we want to go
back and see Spy a second time. This
movie is definitely perfect for a girls’ night out. I’m sending out the call to
all my female friends and relatives to join me for a night at the movies spent
with the talented Melissa McCarthy. It’s a blast!!!
