For an end-of-Summer-dumping-ground release, The Spy Who Dumped Me comes as something of a surprise. It is a lightweight and insubstantial comedy romp, but within that context it is well-made and plays out rather well on the screen. As the two best friends who become embroiled in international espionage through an ex-boyfriend, Kunis and McKinnon are utterly reliable performers who have real chemistry and wring every drop out of a script that does its best to keep the momentum going. The European-capital-hopping is enjoyable, and most surprising is the sharpness and slickness of the action/fight sequences. This is not an essential movie, but it is much better than you expect it to be.
