Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon star in The Spy Who Dumped Me. They play two best friends in Los Angeles whose lives turn upside down when Audrey (Kunis)'s boyfriend Drew (Justin Theroux) split up with her just before her birthday. It turns out that he's living a double life as a spy and when he had to do it to spare her from harm. Things then started to be complicated and both Audrey and Morgan (McKinnon) are both on the run from both the law and the bad guys.
The Spy Who Dumped Me rises above the typical buddy for it's unpredictability and the perfect comic chemistry of the lead actresses. Kunis already proven her comic worth in previous films but it is Kate McKinnon who is the driving force of the film. The Saturday Night Live actress is still looking for her breakout role in film since her Ghostbusters reboot alongside Melissa McCarthy wasn't a big hit as expected. The film is gorgeously shot in Europe and it's fun to watch as it makes fun of Americans on foreign soil and backpackers among others. This is one smart female buddy comedy that can be placed side to side to McCarthy and Sandra Bullock's The Heat.
