Actors: Mila Kunis, Kate McKinnon,
Justin Theroux, Sam Heughan, Hasan Minhaj, Gillian Anderson
Rating: 8 out of 10, This might have
been a little too long but there can never be too much Kate McKinnon who’s back
playing her usual character walking a thin line of sanity. Mila Kunis is
playing her usual straight ”man” for McKinnon’s outlandishness and it works.
There were several scenes where I was laughing out loud which is rare for me in
a darkened theater. I really liked that the female characters were not victims
although it would be easy to fall into that with plot of a gal (Kunis)
literally dumped by a spy who has the entire intelligence world descending on
her and her crazed gal pal. Instead they head out for Vienna and are soon
bounding around the major cities of Europe one step ahead of assassins and
smarmy operatives who consistently underestimate them. While most of their
success is achieved accidently it is uniformly funny. Jane Curtin and Paul
Reiser are hilarious in very small roles as completely inappropriate parents
which makes sense since they spawned McKinnon. A good laugh when I needed one
and Kunis thoroughly dominates an evening gown for climatic fight.
MVP: Kunis as the unsuspecting and
lethal Audrey
