The movie is at least 20 minutes too long, especially at the end, and the skit-like scenes are hit and miss, sometimes starting with a promising premise (they seize a getaway car but find they can’t drive a clutch; Morgan battles a gymnast assassin in a Cirque du Soleil extravaganza) and then letting the air leak out until it’s … over. Like on SNL. But a lot of the gags land, rooted in the female equivalent of bromance , and the action is mostly serviceable.
It's not as good as doing much the same thing terrifically in Spy. But until Spy 2, it’ll do.

He’s really a spy, assassinating a relentless parade of attempted assassins while Audrey is at an arcade blowing away bad guys onscreen. She’s a deadeye shot, so when her ex reappears and explains that every spy and bad guy in Europe is after his thumb drive — the only thing they didn’t burn — Morgan eggs Audrey on. So they jet to Vienna, Prague and Paris (evidently rebuilt after Tom Cruise’s visit) to assassinate some assassins and protect that thumb drive. Even if they have to chop off a thumb or two and keep it in a twist-to-open lipstick container.

Sam Heughan and Hasan Minhaj are funny as a couple of bickering MI6 agents (one of whom cannot go one minute without telling a new acquaintance he went to Harvard), and the film would be better if the grownups got more scenes: Paul Reiser, 61, and Jane Curtin, 70, as the parents McKinnon overshares with, and Fred Melamed, 62, as the suave older man who asks Morgan, “Are you into Balzac?” McKinnon has the perfect deflating riposte.The movie is at least 20 minutes too long, especially at the end, and the skit-like scenes are hit and miss, sometimes starting with a promising premise (they seize a getaway car but find they can’t drive a clutch; Morgan battles a gymnast assassin in a Cirque du Soleil extravaganza) and then letting the air leak out until it’s … over.
