SPY (2015)

Crude, lewd (especially the unrated cut - whew!), hilarious, and more entertaining than most of the espionage films it parodies, Spy is final proof that Melissa McCarthy can 1) headline a film; and 2) create a character, over caricature, from the ground up.  Here she's Susan Cooper, computer analyst for the CIA, backing up debonair agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law, channeling his best James Bond) until a disastrous mission sidelines Fine ... and has Susan, who's never been in the field before, volunteering for her first assignment: collecting intel on a possible nuclear weapons sale.  The film is brilliant, McCarthy never funnier than when forced to change her alias to become foul-mouthed bodyguard Amber Valentine, as she gets ever closer to cracking the case.  Avoid if you're prudish on things like foul language - otherwise wear something absorbent 'cause you might just wet yourself laughing.  OMG, and Jason Statham; who knew that rock of an action star could be so freaking funny?  (unrated)  A
