I saw this. I'd give it a 8.5/10. The first half had some unbelievably great stuff. The gadget scene and the statham story scene were awesome. I wanted more shit like that in the movie. Weirdly, the plot actually drags the movie down in the latter half. It tried to get semi serious and advance the plot and resolve shit and I just wanted more of teh funnyz.

Apparently there was a post-credits scene I missed. I heard it as I was walking out of the theater.

Post Credits? I saw (Her) in bed with (HIM) - who woulda thunk it.

No, beyond that. I saw that and it was humorous.

Saw this tonight, found it hilarious. Jason Statham was awesome in this.

I wrote it off. I guess that was a mistake. Thanks for the shot in the arm.

OK, yea, that was really good.

I dont know if my expectations were so low it seemed better but this movie was awesome. I hate mccarthy but I would give this a 8.5

Sucks this movie didnt do better money wise, probably made less then all her other dumb movies

These are the types of roles McCarthy needs to do. She's a lot better when she's not forced into her "Chris Farley" slapstick mode.

The way they constantly made fun of Mccarthy was perfect by everyone, add in Peter Serafinowicz and an amazing performance by statham. I was expecting a little more laughs out of Serafinowicz actually.

It's quite enjoyable and there is a pretty decent knife vs frying pan fight scene in there, but the plot is a bit of a mess and some parts are cringe worthy, notably when she has to run. It's obviously not possible for her and they can't use it for comedy effect, because they base some of the comedy on the fact her character is deceivingly athletic.


Digression: That reminded me of a movie a few years back called Vengeance with french pop superstar Johnny Hallyday. The guy was in his sixties and had multiple spine surgeries for herniated disks and additional surgeries to correct some of the previous surgeries that went wrong... at some point he is supposed to do some sort of physical activity (playing soccer on a beach I believe) and, yeah, not possibleat all.

I liked it at the time, but two weeks later, all I can remember is "limp-dicked unicorn". And probably the best non-sequitur of the decade, "There's a mouse on my tits".

So many great lines by Statham

I go into the Face off machine and get a new face, I attached my arm with his other arm, impersonated Obama infront of Congress, you times infinity, I got a feeling you about to fuck things up

Rose Byrne had a ton of great lines also being mean to mccarthy
