I-Spy - The funniest film for a long time

When you've had nearly twenty belly laughs before the titles you know it's going to be a great film; that was definitely the case with Paul Feig's action comedy romp Spy.

Jude Law plays Bradley Fine, a super smooth agent working for the CIA who is controlled back at base by Susan Cooper played magnificently by Melissa McCarthy. She takes the film by the scruff of the neck and makes it all her own, ably assisted by Miranda Hart, yes, that tall funny looking comedian off the telly!

The film revolves around a search for a dastardly villain Raina acted brilliantly by the talented Aussie Rose Byrne. Unfortunately all the agents available are known to her so a volunteer is required. Up steps Susan Cooper who chases her around Europe distracted by spurned agent Rick Ford, well hammed-up by Jason Statham.

Don't worry too much about the plot though. The laughs come thick and fast with some of the funniest lines I've heard in a film for years. The star however is definitely Melissa McCarthy who has everything thrown at her in the film but comes out of every caper with flying colours. Look out for a great cameo role by American rapper 59 Cents, he looks like he really enjoys it! Be Aware though; there's a good amount of the "F word" throughout this film and not all of it from Mr Cents.

It's undoubtebly a case of Peter Kaye meets James Bond - let's hope they are making Spy 2?
