We enjoyed this action/comedy about two women suddenly embroiled in the espionage activities of one's ex-boyfriend. Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon are hilarious and the various European location shots are good fun, as are the glamorous costumes in a few scenes. Kunis was last blogged for Bad Moms and McKinnon for the Ghostbusters reboot. The cast is big and includes Jane Curtin (mentioned in I Love You, Man), Paul Reiser (most recently in The Little Hours), Gillian Anderson (last in Viceroy's House), and Justin Theroux (introduced to the blog in Wanderlust) as the dumper.
This is the second feature for director/co-writer Susanna Fogel, who keeps the pace lively from the script co-written by David Iserson (some SNL episodes, some United States of Tara, more).
The original soundtrack by Tyler Bates is apparently not as popular as the one he wrote for Deadpool 2, since this one isn't available online. What is available, however, is this spotify playlist of songs that may be in the movie (we saw it two weeks ago and I don't remember the songs so well).
Rotten Tomatoes' critics kinda want to dump this movie, averaging 49%, as compared to its audiences at 70. This is on its way out--two screenings a day at only one theatre in our area. We liked the foreign travel photography on the big screen but wouldn't blame you if you wait--it's going to begin streaming at the usual outlets on October 16, 2018.
Stuff happens during the credits. Stay and watch.
