The Spy Who Dumped Me | Review
★★
The Spy Who Dumped Me – likely conceived title first – opens like a typical post-Bourne thriller and segues into familiar spoofing territory. Two fish-out-of-water heroines flounder across Europe, from set piece to set piece, screaming and flapping all the way. If the script, by director Susanna Fogel and co-writer David Iserson, leaves something to be desired, you’d be hard pressed to notice thanks to likeable central performances from a well-paired Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon. A pity, then, that they’re not quite enough.

★★
Skewing Jim Henson’s Muppets to an adult audience has never worked. A 1975 pilot went nowhere and ABC’s recent TV run flopped. The Happytime Murders is a wholly juvenile flogging of the dead horse, reliant on crap comic crudities whilst forgetting to be fun.
