Anyone here seen this? I thought it was hilarious. Granted, the hilarity was enhanced for me because Melissa McCarthy in her first two undercover disguises looked incredibly like my mother.
I had no idea Jason Statham could be so funny - he played his part to the hilt. Rose Byrne too. Bit too much reliance on f---- to make the dialogue funny, but many laugh out loud moments.
I read some think piece about all the humiliation Melissa's character endures but she so clearly kicks butt (literally too) and the characters who a cruel to her are so clearly villains or simply stupid or unsympathetic. Melissa triumphs over them all. She's fantastic.
When I saw the 1:55 runtime I was dubious but it only dragged at the very end. Just really fun all around.
