My Spy

That hat isn’t ideal for his head shape.

Anyway, I’m watching this because somebody said that it was unexpectedly hilarious… and it is indeed pretty funny. It’s quite old fashioned — you could almost see Schwarzenegger do this movie in 1992.

But it does constantly skirt eww territories which those movies steered clear of.

And now they’re doing a training montage. This is where you can go all overboard with funny stuff, but instead it’s like… amusing, but they could have turned it up a few notches?

Ah yeah, the director started off doing a Naked Gun sequel, and has continued doing silly movies. And this movie is exactly what you’d expect — but it’s good. I laughed out loud several times, especially during the last 20 minutes.

But this is not a future cult classic, I think. It’s kinda uneven tonally? And there’s so many scenes that could easily have been hilarious instead of just amusing. But still. It’s fun.

My Spy. Peter Segal. 2020.
