CRITIC RATING:
2/5 Stars
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
My Spy follows JJ, a hardened CIA operative (Dave Bautista), who has been demoted and finds himself at the mercy of a precocious 9-year-old girl named Sophie (Chloe Coleman) after he is sent undercover to surveil her family.
WHAT THE CRITICS THOUGHT:
"Bautista commits to the dad jokes, and young Chloe Coleman holds her own, but both actors are ultimately wandering through the mists of a movie that isn't fully there." - Jesse Hassenger, AV Club
"Three terrific lead performances and sharp dialogue elevate a well-worn premise." - Scott Mendelson, Forbes
"Both a little bit better than I expected and not quite good... Self-awareness doesn't make up for the fact that it's very predictable." - Angie Han, FilmWeek
"Dave Bautista gets outsmarted by a child in an action-comedy that doesn't reinvent the wheel but delivers some cracking gags that will leave you smiling." - Zehra Phelan, Flavourmag
