An action-packed comedic movie, directed by Peter Segal and produced by Leonard B. Stern. This is the kind of movie (and these are rare) that both my parents and I all enjoyed. I was cracking up the entire time. It was light-hearted, but had a few sweet moments to give it some umph. The humor had undertones of a slap-stick with some physical comedy, and there were some clever lines, as well. Well-rounded on that front. Also, the lead is Anne Hathaway who is amazing, gorgeous, talented, and all around adorable, playing a badass character- the movie was worth it just for that alone. Synopsis (no spoilers) There was a spy government agency, until the bad guys blew up the building (and all their covers). The only two agents who’s covers haven’t been blown, who can do the mission, are Agent 99 and 86. Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) is experienced and one of the best in the field. She was safe because she recently had dramatic plastic surgery, so the bad guys didn’t know who she was. The second person was brand-spanking new to the job, Agent 86. Max (Steve Carell) had always dreamed of becoming an agent, and on his eighth try, he passed the field test to become one. Unfortunately for him, the boss wanted to keep him behind the desk, in analytics, because he was so good. But, in the aftermath of the explosion, in the moment of crisis, he was promoted. And, so, the two agents set off. As you can imagine, things went less than smoothly… It’s rated Rated PG-13 for “some rude humor, action violence and language” (IMDb). It was still a great family movie for us, though.
If you like movies like this, I highly recommend: Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson, 2003) and The Spy Next Door (Jackie Chang, 2010).
