The Spy Who Dumped Me

Sometimes you just need to laugh your face off. I was having one of those days where I just needed a good laugh. Seemed like the perfect time to watch Mila Kunis and Kate McKenna pretend to be secret agents in The Spy Who Dumped Me. I always knew I was going to enjoy this film, I love bad-ass women coming together to dominate the silver screen.

Mila Kunis plays Audrey, she gets dumped by her boyfriend Drew, played by Justin Theroux. She is heartbroken and thinks he's just a jerk. During this sad time, Audrey turns to her best friend Morgan, played by Kate McKinnon, for support. Audrey is finally getting over Drew when she gets thrown into the back of a van by Agent Sebastian, played by Same Heughan, and finds out Drew is a spy! So the real question becomes did Drew dump Audrey because his spy life was dangerous or is he a jerk who happens to be a spy? These are just a few of the questions you will have watching The Spy Who Dumped Me.

The movie is hilarious, Kate McKinnon and Mila Kunis really shine in this buddy comedy film. They both have brilliant comedic timing and know exactly how to make you laugh. The movie is not just action and spy life, it's about best friends. It's having that one best friend that will be with you through thick and thin. The one you can always count on no matter what. The Spy Who Dumped Me does a brilliant job of focusing on positive female image and the way women can uplift one another. So often Society tells women that they need to compare themselves to each other. Instead we should be praising each other and lifting one another up. We want women to succeed and this film is an example of women coming together and forming a deeper bond.

Not only was this movie funny and action-packed, it was also filmed in Budapest. Now you probably don't know this, but I love to travel. And this past summer I had an opportunity to visit Budapest. I really enjoyed watching this movie and recognizing the landmarks and locations filmed there. If you ever have an opportunity to go to Budapest, you really should go. It was a wonderful trip filled with culture, fantastic food and adventure. Sorry, I digress let's get back to the movie.

The Spy Who dumped me is is filled with talented actors and actresses. The main stars Mila Kunis and Kate McKenna shine and have brilliant on-screen chemistry. I want to believe they are secretly best friends in real life. You can not fake that kind of chemistry and closeness, at least I hope not! We have the ever sexy and slightly scary Justin Trudeau as the horrible ex-boyfriend spy. The whole film, we don't know if we can trust him. It's kind of fun to watch him play off the two comedic geniuses that are Mila and Kate. We also have Sam Heughan as Sebastian, he's also very funny. I've never seen Sam in a comedy and he keeps up very well. He's all charm and sass!

If you're looking for a good laugh and want to take your mind off of the heavy burdens of life, please watch The Spy Who Dumped Me. I promise you will laugh, you will want to call your best friend and book a girls trip as soon as possible. As I said before I highly recommend Budapest, Hungary.
