I began watching this with zero expectations. And for the first 20 minutes or so I was non-plussed. But two things turned that around for me: 1. Some of the lines/scenes made me laugh harder than I'd laughed in a long while. And 2. Seeing Melissa McCarthy kick some serious butt was great.
Additionally, there were some decent plot twists and the performance by Rose Byrne, while all over the place, was refreshing. So was the against type role for Statham. (I'd also give a nod to Miranda Hart's performance.)
All in all, if you need a good laugh, and don't take this film too seriously, it's worth a look. Just my 2 cents.
