Melissa McCarthy is Susan Cooper, an analyst for the CIA, but in the rat-infested basement rather than out in the field. She is the voice in the ear of super Agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law) as she helps him infiltrate buidings and avoid dangers in dark corridors through the use of nifty infra-red technology. She is a little bit in love with his dashing and self-assured spyness, so she is hit especially hard when he is compromised on a mission trying to keep a nuclear bomb from being sold by Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne), a Russian Femme Fatale. When it is discovered that all of the field agents have been compromised, Susan volunteers to go undercover to stop Rayna from selling the Nuke. When another agent, Rick Ford (Jason Statham) learns that the "Lunch Lady" as he calls her is headed into the field, he is determined to go behind her back and solve the case. Little does Susan know just how crazy fieldwork can be. Does she have the skills to handle the job and stop Rayna before it is too late?

This movie just made me laugh! It is really funny. And, Jason Statham was HILARIOUS. I have always liked him but now I love him! He stole a lot of the movie. Although, Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne were pretty funny, too. There is a plot and it is enough to keep you invested in the movie.  But, the characters are what really make the movie. No one takes themselves too seriously and it just makes the movie fun. Even the Husband enjoyed himself. Don't expect Oscar material. This is purely summer escapism and hilarious hi-jinks. Go see it!
