Fallin' In Laugh
Spy Movie 2015 arahan Paul Feig memang masih baru keluar nanti 5 juni tapi beberapa kritikus maupun reviewer film yang diundang untuk menyaksikan dan memberi penilaian terhadap film bergenre Action Comedy ini banyak yang memberikan penilaian positif. Wah apa yang membuat Spy sangat bagus di mata mereka? ini salah satu review dari Scott Mendelson di Forbes.com yang beberapa bagian kita edit karena kepentingan design layout.
That makes sense, what with Pith Perfect 2 and all, but that just means that audiences are going to have to wait a couple weeks to indulge in this scrumptious little confection. The film now squares off against Insidious 3 and the Warner’s Entourage movie, which should inspire a bunch of insipid battle-of-the-sexes commentary.
'Spy' Review: Melissa McCarthy Kills In A Terrific Action Comedy
Anyway, in an era of the ever-declining wattage of the movie star, Melissa McCarthy is the real deal. She is a face-on-the-poster movie star able to pull in solid opening weekends based mostly on her presence. She took a lump last year when the low-budget and comparatively uncommercial Tammy magically didn’t play like Bridesmaids 2 and yet few noticed when the $20 million Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc. dramedy ended up with $84m domestic and $100m worldwide. But obviously Spy is a far more commercial sale, and it cost three times what Tammy cost, so there is a bit more pressure to deliver.
Spy opens on June 5th, 2015, courtesy of 20th Century Fox. It is a Chernin Entertainment and Feigco Entertainment production with a price tag of $65 million. It is written and directed by Paul Feig and stars Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Miranda Hart, Bobby Cannavale, Allison Janney, and Jude Law. It was originally intended to open this Friday before moving to June 5th after Fox tossed their Poltergeist remake into the Memorial Day weekend slot.
The good news is that the film comes loaded to bear, with a high concept plot (Melissa McCarthy’s desk jockey ends up in the field in a real espionage adventure) and a killer supporting cast (Janney, Byrne, Law, and STATHAM), and a director who has a pretty terrific working relationship with the comedic star.
