The Spy Who Dumped Me

“An innovative genre blend that overcomes its bagginess thanks to sharp character comedy and a wildly appealing central dynamic.”

Emma Dibdin, Total Film · 80

“Don’t be fooled by its awful title. The Spy Who Dumped Me is the rare secret-agent spoof that doesn’t double-O-suck.”

Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post · 75

“Though the story goes a country too far and gets lost in its dénouement, the movie is, for the most part, a playful and giddy delight.”

Richard Brody, The New Yorker · 70

“Ms. McKinnon is too inventive to make the character a standard, zany rom-com sidekick. There is no real precedent for her highly disciplined comic anarchy, but Ms. McKinnon reminds me a little of Peter Sellers in her command of voice, face and body and her ability to turn every scene into a popcorn popper of verbal and physical surprise.”

“To say it’s all over the place, a frenzied collection of hits and misses, is to both capture its shortcomings and deliver a fairly cogent plot summary. But as directed by Susanna Fogel (“Life Partners”) from a script she wrote with David Iserson, the movie also has a playfully vicious screwball energy that consistently locates the violence in every joke, the humor in every kill.”
