Movie and Trailer: “Spy – Susan Cooper Undercover” – THE WORLD

Feminism, drones, dubious agents activities – One might almost think that director Paul Feig has developed his latest film search engine optimized for the German excitement networks. Especially since even Islamist terrorist, Trannies Ukrainian and Eastern European obscurantists other roles in “Spy – Susan Cooper Undercover” play. Absence actually only Vladimir Putin and Sepp Blatter. But you can not have everything, yes.

At first glance, Feigs third screen-cooperation with the new American comedies – do not differ star Melissa McCarthy after the sensational success “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat” from the usual agents film travesties: By coincidence unit one appears to be conceivable unsuitable person in an intelligence application, which is made to a nuclear bomb, nasty figures the former Eastern Bloc and chases goes through European cities.

She has the makings of a James Bond

The joke located in “Susan Cooper” but by no means is that it is the James Bond Reluctant to a small heavyweight woman is, the already cleansed of the physique a ridiculous figure gives with the usual agent activities such as melee, seduction or super cool look. The absurd comedy Drop height arises rather because this little person at least qualified in theory as well as their male counterparts is (played by a very smart Jew Law and a very silly Jason Statham) -. Has but unfortunately had no self-confidence

And so their biggest opponents are also not eastern conspirators who want to get a handy bomb for an attack on the United Nations in their possession, but the relationships.

Actually, this is Susan Cooper constantly humiliated: from her agent partners, which they prefer to look like a husband old school home baking in the preparation of drone attacks, by the CIA, which donated their place chic secret weapons and glamorous appearance identities pimped hemorrhoid tissues as a weapon – and a camouflage as fat American tourist with Cat sweater.

But all that bounces off Susan Cooper as on an invisible full-body protective vest against insults. Melissa McCarthy plays this agent by the heavy-handed shape with awkward grace and a desperate dignity which she had left in her Oscar nominated performance in “Bridesmaids” nor withheld as riot thickness from service, just like in the subsequent Boller films like. “Tammy – Fully Removed”

Women are even better villains

But do not worry: Very, very funny the whole thing yet. And it is also shot and struggled enough. Among other things in for bloke agents rather unytpischen ambiance as restaurant kitchens or at a performance of Ukrainian ESC legend Verka Serduchka.

The women here have the – indeed often quite ugly – pants. And this is true not only for the part played by the British comedienne Miranda Hart nerdy sidekick of the main character, but also for the antagonist of the heroine. Rose Byrne grows an almost fond as bitchy Bulgarian nuclear bombs heiress. Feminism discussants, take note: Women are also better villains

Either way makes “Spy – Susan Cooper” the best advertisement for a quota system in male-dominated. genres. The secret of your femininity is unquestionably the future.
