THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME"
(2018) (Mila Kunis, Kate McKinnon) (R)

QUICK TAKE:: Comedy/Action: Two best friends suddenly find themselves thrust into a dangerous, international spy game.

PLOT:

Audrey (MILA KUNIS) and Morgan (KATE McKINNON) have been best friends for years and thus have gone through thick and thin together. It's the latter that's occurring now as Audrey's boyfriend of the past year, Drew (JUSTIN THEROUX), has just dumped her via a text message. With it being Audrey's birthday, Morgan has taken her out for the evening to drown her sorrows.

Little do they know that Drew is actually a CIA spy who's managed to survive attempts on his life overseas to return to Los Angeles to try to tell Audrey what's happening. But before he can, there's another attack and he ends up seemingly killed, but not before imparting directions for Audrey to deliver a package -- in the shape of a trophy -- to his contact in Vienna.

Knowing nothing more than that, she and Morgan fly there where Audrey is eventually nabbed by MI6 agents Sebastian (SAM HEUGHAN) and Duffer (HASAN MINHAJ) who want that package. Not knowing if they're on her side or not, she eventually and purposefully gives Sebastian a lookalike trophy.

But a deadly shootout follows and when Russian assassin Nadedja (IVANNA SAKHNO) shows up desiring the same thing, the two women realize they're in a dangerous international spy game where both their lives and those of many others hang in the balance.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: If they're fans of anyone in the cast and/or action-comedies they might be interested.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R: For violence, language throughout, some crude sexual material and graphic nudity.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
