Bad Spies

The flash drive that every agent in the world is after is hidden by Mila Kunis in a place only a gynecologist and Mr. Kutcher are allowed. Light up the sign that says "Applause!" Two things put me off. The over-the-top performance by Kate McKinnon, who could have been easily replaced by Schumer without any difference, and the strange disregard for violent acts, such as when they witness a taxi driver getting shot in the head and act as if they're in a movie... I'm trying not to think about where Melissa McCarthy would have hidden the flash drive in their place. (14.02.2023)

Ein rein unterhaltsamer Genrefilm, ein Zuckerschlecken für alle, die die Besetzung: Mila Kunis, Kate McKinnon, Sam Heughan oder Gillian Anderson mögen. Aber man muss es im Original sehen. Ähnlich wie den diesjährigen Film The Lost City - Das Geheimnis der verlorenen Stadt. (16.07.2022)

Eine amüsante Actionkomödie zum Ausspannen, ich habe mich trotz der Länge gut amüsiert. Obwohl ich Mila Kunis sehr mag und das eine richtig sexy Schauspielerin ist, muss man anerkennen, dass Kate McKinnon diesen Film für sich eingenommen hat. Sie strahlt von Anfang bis Ende. Mit gefiel das klassische Pendeln durch europäische Metropolen, unter denen auch Prag nicht fehlte. Ich habe mich auch reichlich über die Züge, die von Wien nach Prag fahren, und über die tschechischen Kennzeichen amüsiert. Es sind dreieinhalb Sternchen, ich habe gut Laune und hebe sie noch etwas an. (03.04.2020)

Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon as two ordinary girls caught up in a spy war. There's plenty of surprisingly solid action, but there's also a lot of humour that doesn't quite click as well as it should. Kate McKinnon tries to steal the film for herself, unfortunately teetering on the edge of awkwardness quite often. With a shorter running time and a more cohesive cast, this could have been a fine comedy. As it is, it's just mediocre. (15.08.2018)

A typical American comedy about two clueless women who stumble into action in Europe. The humor is mostly lowbrow, with the highlights being moments when they're not resorting to fart jokes or puking, but instead trying to pronounce Hungarian or Czech town names. Surprisingly, the scenes in Prague were the most entertaining for me, even though the movie kicked off with a cringeworthy line about Eastern Europe being all about Gothic architecture. That grated on me, but the Czech cover of "These Boots Are Mady for Walkin'" playing over shots of Prague Castle made up for it. Overall, it's average fare, but if you're looking to kill some time, it's not the worst choice — especially for a Czech viewer who might get a kick out of the local references. (07.01.2022)

It's a bit above average, with some funny scenes, the action scenes are pretty well done too and the story is a classic. Nothing special, but it's entertaining to watch :) 3.5/5 (05.11.2018)

I didn't think this film would be any good. I saw both Bad Moms and A Bad Moms Christmas, so I expected the worst from Mila Kunis. I didn’t really think much of Kate McKinnon either. In the end, the film didn’t turn out to be a total disaster. It had a few funny moments, even though the script was affected by the authors’ likely dementia. Once again, there was plenty of the "crowd-pleasing" vomit and diarrhea humor. Kate McKinnon was in her usual role of a half-crazy suicidal bitch, which she had crafted to perfection. I really have no idea how the creators came up with the name Nadedja. Was it supposed to be Nadezhda? Just a guess. Two stars are as high as I can go in this case. (30.12.2018)
