Couldn't see a thread so please merge if one.

Can't say much as there is an embargo but personally I really liked this. Will update when I can.

Saw this for the second time this evening. Still enjoyed it as much as the first time. Slick but fun. Lots of laugh out moments. This film appeal to my sense of humour indeed.

Saw this tonight at Belle Vue, Manchester - less than half full in the cinema which was a pity. Quirky - some good laughs - not sure of the over-played bad language but generally funny and great to see so many British actors!

Belly laughs galore! Melissa McCarthy is such a potty mouth LOL.....Jason Statham was so funny, nice to see him in this role. An out-take was played at the end of the credits. 9/10 o/

Funny, but a bit disappointing. And why are the CIA employing so many Brits?

I think there was some play on the traditional "English villain" going on, Australian (i think) Byrne the OTTP posh English villain, a posh English guy playing an American and current English villain Statham generally playing the fool.

not sure what Miranda Hart was doing but this is the first time I've seen her where shes very funny.

I was the only sad person, other than the cleaners, left in Glasgow to see the scene after the credits

Could have done without the over use of swear words which seemed to be added for no reason other than to give some cheap laughs, but other than that it was a pretty enjoyable film.

7/10

Melissa McCarthy as funny as only she can be - large as life and mouthy. Could have sworn it was Dawn French when she came out in the new outfit with the shorter dark hair.
Lots of laughs and I loved the line :- you might not be as wise as an owl but you will always be a hoot to me!! LOL! 8/10
